RT2517BGSP

Richtek Tech · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOP-8-EP

RT2517BGSP from Richtek Tech, in a SOP-8-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 IC unconnected Internal connection; leave floating and do not make any connection to this pin.
2 EN input Enable control input: logic high enables the regulator and driving it low puts the device into shutdown; it may be tied to VIN if unused and must not be left floating.
3 VIN power_in Supply voltage input (2.2V to 6V); connect a minimum 10µF ceramic capacitor at this pin.
4 VIN power_in Supply voltage input (2.2V to 6V); connect a minimum 10µF ceramic capacitor at this pin.
5 VOUT power_out Regulated output voltage; a minimum 10µF capacitor should be placed directly at this pin.
6 VOUT power_out Regulated output voltage; a minimum 10µF capacitor should be placed directly at this pin.
7 ADJ input Feedback voltage input for the external resistor divider that sets the output voltage; connecting it directly to VOUT sets the output at 1.2V.
8 GND power_in Ground; must be connected to the exposed pad and the GND plane.
9 GND power_in Exposed thermal pad, listed with pin 8 as GND; it must be soldered to a large PCB copper area connected to GND for maximum power dissipation.
