LT1963AEST-2.5#PBF

Analog Devices · Linear Voltage Regulators (LDO) · SOT-223-3

LT1963AEST-2.5#PBF from Analog Devices, in a SOT-223-3. 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 IN power_in Input pin through which power is supplied to the device; the datasheet recommends a 1µF to 10µF bypass capacitor if the device is more than six inches from the main input filter capacitor, and it withstands reverse input voltage with no reverse current.
2 GND power_in Ground pin; the tab is also GND.
3 OUT power_out Regulated output that supplies the load, requiring a minimum 10µF output capacitor to prevent oscillations.
