# TP162C18S5

**TECH PUBLIC** · Linear Voltage Regulators (LDO) · SOT-23-5

TP162C18S5 from TECH PUBLIC, in a SOT-23-5. 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 | Input supply pin accepting 1.2V to 5.5V (absolute maximum -0.3V to 6.5V), to be decoupled with a 1uF or larger capacitor placed close to VIN and GND. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Ground pin, which the input and output capacitor grounds should return to using a wide, short copper trace. |
| 3 | EN | input | Enable input where pulling it low (below 0.6V) shuts the regulator down to about 10nA typical shutdown current, with absolute maximum -0.3V to 6V. |
| 4 | NC | unconnected | No-connect pin with no internal function stated in the datasheet. |
| 5 | VOUT | power_out | Regulated output delivering up to 600mA (current limit 1100mA typical) with +/-2% accuracy, to be decoupled with a 1uF to 22uF output capacitor. |
