LM7909CT

HGSEMI · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-220-3

LM7909CT from HGSEMI, in a TO-220-3. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 GND power_in Ground reference pin of the negative regulator, shown as GND on the TO-220-3 pin drawing.
2 INPUT power_in Unregulated negative input voltage, maximum -35 V at TJ=25°C, with -10.5 V to -25 V specified for the LM7909C output voltage limits.
3 OUTPUT power_out Regulated negative output of -8.60 V to -9.40 V at 5.0 mA to 1.0 A load, with internal short-circuit current limiting and output current in excess of 1.5 A.
