LM2940IMP-5.0

HGSEMI · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-223-3L

LM2940IMP-5.0 from HGSEMI, in a SOT-223-3L. 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 IN power_in Unregulated input supply. Operating range 6-26V (absolute max 45V). Requires a bypass capacitor (typ. 47µF) to ground close to the pin.
2 GND power_in Ground return. On SOT-223 the tab is electrically connected to GND and should be soldered to a copper area for thermal dissipation.
3 OUT power_out Regulated 5.0V LDO output, up to 1A. Requires a minimum 22µF output capacitor for stability. Internally current-limited (~1.9A typ short-circuit) and thermally protected.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: LM2940IMP-5.0
  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-223-3_TabPin2
  • 3D model: SOT-223-3L (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: lm2940imp-5-0-etched.step / lm2940imp-5-0-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); lm2940imp-5-0.step / lm2940imp-5-0.glb are the bare package body.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
lm2940imp-5-0.step 64 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
lm2940imp-5-0-etched.step 2.0 MB You want the part with LM2940IMP-5.0 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 513 faces against 75 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
