RT9166A-33GXL

Richtek Tech · Linear Voltage Regulators (LDO) · SOT-89-3

RT9166A-33GXL from Richtek Tech, in a SOT-89-3. 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; the datasheet's PCB layout section asks for a single-point ground connection to the input and output capacitor grounds.
2 VIN power_in Supply input, with recommended operating range 2.8V to 5.5V and absolute maximum supply input voltage of 6.5V; place the input capacitor (about 1μF) within 1 cm of this pin.
3 VOUT power_out Regulator output, delivering up to 600mA for the RT9166A (current limit 600mA minimum) and requiring a 1μF to 4.7μF X7R/X5R ceramic output capacitor to GND for stability.
