LV3842XFDBVR

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS · Global Sourcing Parts · SOT-23-6

LV3842XFDBVR from TEXAS INSTRUMENTS, in a SOT-23-6. 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 CB power_out Bootstrap capacitor connection for the high-side FET driver; connect a high-quality 100 nF capacitor from this pin to the SW pin.
2 GND power_in Power ground terminal connected internally to the low-side FET source; connect to system ground and the ground side of CIN and COUT, keeping the path to CIN as short as possible.
3 FB input Feedback input to the converter, where a resistor divider sets the output voltage; never short this terminal to ground during operation.
4 EN input Precision enable input (High = on, Low = off) that must not float and can be tied to VIN, with adjustable UVLO set by an external resistor divider.
5 VIN power_in Supply input to the internal bias LDO and high-side FET, with input bypass capacitors CIN connected directly to this pin and GND; recommended range 4 V to 36 V, absolute maximum 40 V.
6 SW power_out Switching output of the converter, internally connected to the high-side FET source and low-side FET drain, to be connected to the power inductor.

Materials and finish

As the datasheet states them (page.json metadata.appearance; the 3D model's colours follow it).

Part Material Colour / plating Datasheet says Page
contacts copper The SW pin connecting to the inductor must be as short as possible, and just wide enough to carry the load current without excessive heating. Short, thick traces or copper pours (shapes) must be used 21
