RT9166-12GVL
Richtek Tech · Linear Voltage Regulators (LDO) · SOT-23-3L
RT9166-12GVL from Richtek Tech, in a SOT-23-3L. 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 | Common ground reference for the regulator, to be connected to the external circuit ground as a single point ground with the input and output capacitors. |
| 2 | VOUT | power_out | Regulated output that requires a ceramic output capacitor of 1μF to 4.7μF with 10mΩ to 50mΩ ESR between VOUT and GND for transient stability. |
| 3 | VIN | power_in | Supply input with a recommended operating range of 2.8V to 5.5V, requiring an input capacitance of about 1μF between VIN and GND. |
