LP2951DR

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

LP2951DR from Texas Instruments, 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 OUTPUT output Regulated output voltage pin; capacitor required to GND for stability (minimum 1µF effective, nominal 2.2µF, maximum 100µF) with ESR range 0-2Ω for new chip.
2 SENSE input Senses output voltage; connect to OUTPUT for fixed output mode (with FEEDBACK tied to VTAP), leave floating for adjustable output.
3 SHUTDOWN input Active-high shutdown control input; disables regulator when voltage > 2V, enables when voltage < 0.7V.
4 GND power_in Ground reference.
5 ERROR output Active-low open-drain error output; asserts low when output voltage drops 6% (typical) below nominal value, with threshold 75-95 mV above VREF.
6 VTAP input Internal resistor divider tap; connect to FEEDBACK for fixed output mode, leave floating for adjustable output.
7 FEEDBACK input Output voltage feedback input; for fixed output connect to VTAP, for adjustable output connect to external resistor divider network (VREF 1.189-1.211V for new chip).
8 INPUT power_in Input supply voltage pin operating range 2-30V; 1µF or larger capacitor to GND recommended to reduce source impedance.
