LT3973EMSE#PBF from Analog Devices, in a MSOP-10-EP. 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 | FB | input | Feedback pin regulated to 1.21V; connect the feedback resistor divider tap to this pin (LT3973 adjustable version). |
| 2 | OUT | input | Regulates VIN to VOUT voltage in dropout and supplies current to charge the boost capacitor; connect to the output, or tie to GND if programmed output is greater than 14V. |
| 3 | EN/UVLO | input | Part is in shutdown when low and active when high, with a 1.19V rising threshold and 30mV hysteresis; tie to VIN if unused, and ground it if VIN is below 4.2V to shut down. |
| 4 | VIN | power_in | Supplies current to the internal circuitry and internal power switch (4.2V to 42V operating); must be locally bypassed. |
| 5 | GND | power_in | Ground pin; the exposed pad (pin 11) is also ground and must be soldered to the PCB. |
| 6 | SW | output | Output of the internal power switch; connect to the inductor. |
| 7 | BOOST | passive | Provides a drive voltage higher than the input voltage to the internal bipolar NPN power switch. |
| 8 | BD | input | Anode of the boost diode; also supplies current to the internal regulator when BD is above 3.2V. |
| 9 | PG | output | Open-drain output of an internal comparator that stays low until FB is within 10% of final regulation voltage; valid when VIN is above 4.2V and EN/UVLO is high. |
| 10 | RT | passive | A resistor from RT to ground sets the switching frequency (200kHz to 2.2MHz). |
| 11 | GND | power_in | Exposed pad is ground and must be soldered to the PCB. |
