SPX3940AM3-L-3-3

MaxLinear · Linear Voltage Regulators (LDO) · SOT-223-3

SPX3940AM3-L-3-3 from MaxLinear, in a SOT-223-3. 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 VIN power_in Regulator input supply; operating maximum 16V continuous, 20V absolute maximum for <100ms and <1% duty cycle.
2 GND power_in Ground pin; the tab is also connected to GND.
3 VOUT power_out Regulated 3.3V output (1% accuracy, 3.267V to 3.333V at 25°C), needs at least 10µF output capacitor for stability and 5mA minimum load.
