LP3980-18B5F

LOWPOWER · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-23-5

LP3980-18B5F from LOWPOWER, in a SOT-23-5. 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 VIN power_in Power input voltage pin; the input voltage range is 1.6V to 5.5V, and the absolute maximum Input to GND is -0.3V to 6V.
2 GND power_in Ground pin.
3 EN input Enable pin: the regulator turns on when EN is above 1.4V and shuts down when EN falls below 0.4V; absolute maximum EN to GND is -0.3V to 6V, and it may be tied to VIN for continuous on operation.
4 NC unconnected No connect on the LP3980-18B5F fixed-output variant; the FB (feedback, 0.8V reference) function on this pin applies only to the LP3980AB5F adjustable version.
5 OUT power_out Regulated output voltage pin; a ceramic output capacitor of at least 1µF with ESR greater than 25mΩ is required to ensure stability, and the capacitor should be located no more than 0.5 inch from the pin.
