ME6118A12B3G

MICRONE · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-223

ME6118A12B3G from MICRONE, in a SOT-223. 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 GND power_in Ground pin; the datasheet defines the regulated output as the voltage between the output and ground pins.
2 VOUT power_out Regulated output for the 1.2 V ME6118A12 with ±2% accuracy, specified up to 800 mA maximum output current, with the output voltage limited to Vss-0.3 V to VIN+0.3 V.
3 VIN power_in Power input with an operating range of 2.5 V to 18 V and an absolute maximum input voltage of 18 V; the A12 electrical specifications assume VIN = VOUT + 1.3 V.
