**Texas Instruments** · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-263-7

LP38853SX-ADJ from Texas Instruments, in a TO-263-7. 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 | SS | output | Soft-start capacitor connection used to control the rise time of VOUT at turnon. |
| 2 | EN | input | Device enable pin: High = On, Low = Off. |
| 3 | IN | input | The unregulated voltage input. |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Ground. |
| 5 | ADJ | output | The feedback connection to set the output voltage. |
| 6 | OUT | output | The regulated output voltage. |
| 7 | BIAS | input | The supply for the internal control and reference circuitry. |
| 8 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
