LM2931AD50R

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOIC-8

LM2931AD50R from STMicroelectronics, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VOUT power_out Regulated 5.0 V output. Typical 5.0 V (min 4.75 V, max 5.25 V) at IO = 100 mA over the full VI = 6 to 26 V and TJ = -40 to 125 °C range. Requires a ≥100 µF output capacitor for stability.
2 GND power_in Device ground / reference return.
3 GND power_in Device ground / reference return (tied internally to the other GND pins; multiple GND pins aid heat sinking on SO-8).
4 NC unconnected Not connected on the fixed-output version (LM2931AD50R). This pin serves as the ADJ feedback input only on the adjustable (LM2931D-R) variant; leave floating on this part.
5 INHIBIT input Active-high shutdown / inhibit logic input. Regulator is enabled when VINH < 1.2 V (VIL) and disabled when VINH > 3.25 V (VIH). Inhibit input current IINH ≈ 22 µA typ (50 µA max) at VINH = 2.5 V. Absolute maximum inhibit input voltage is 40 V.
6 GND power_in Device ground / reference return (tied internally to the other GND pins).
7 GND power_in Device ground / reference return (tied internally to the other GND pins).
8 VIN power_in Unregulated supply input. Recommended operating range 6 V to 26 V (max operating 26 V min); tolerates transient input up to 60 V (T < 100 ms) and reverse polarity down to -15 V DC / -50 V transient. Decouple with a 0.1 µF input capacitor. Absolute maximum DC input voltage 40 V.
