SPX5205M5-L

MaxLinear · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-23-5

SPX5205M5-L from MaxLinear, in a SOT-23-5. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VIN power_in Unregulated input supply, +2.5 V to +16 V recommended (absolute max -20 V to +20 V, reverse-battery protected). Bypass with a 1 uF capacitor close to the pin.
2 GND power_in Device ground return. Ground pin current ranges from ~70 uA at IL=100 uA up to ~1.3 mA at IL=150 mA.
3 EN input Active-high enable input. VIH >= 2.0 V turns the regulator ON; VIL <= 0.4 V places it in zero-off-mode. Input range 0 V to VIN (abs max -20 V to +20 V). May be tied directly to VIN for always-on operation.
4 BYP/ADJ bidirectional On the adjustable version (SPX5205M5-L/TR, top mark H1WW) this pin is ADJ: feedback node tied to the R1/R2 divider from VOUT to set VOUT = 1.235 V x (1 + R1/R2); R2 must be > 10 kohm (22-47 kohm recommended). On fixed-output variants it is BYP: exposes the internal 1.235 V reference for a 10 nF noise-bypass capacitor to GND, dropping output noise to ~40 uVRMS. Larger CBYP slows start-up; may be left open if noise is not critical.
5 VOUT power_out Regulated LDO output, 150 mA max, 1% initial accuracy. Requires an output capacitor for stability (1 uF tantalum or 2.2 uF aluminum electrolytic typical). Current limited to ~360-500 mA and thermally protected.

  • 3D model files: spx5205m5-l-etched.step / spx5205m5-l-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); spx5205m5-l.step / spx5205m5-l.glb are the bare package body.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
spx5205m5-l.step 85 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
spx5205m5-l-etched.step 2.0 MB You want the part with SPX5205M5-L already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 496 faces against 102 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
