# TPS72012DRVR

**Texas Instruments** · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · WSON-6-EP(2x2)

TPS72012DRVR from Texas Instruments, in a WSON-6-EP(2x2). 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 | OUT | output | Output pin providing regulated voltage; 2.2-μF ceramic capacitor from this pin to ground required for stability and load transient response. |
| 2 | NC | unconnected | No connection pin; should be left unconnected. |
| 3 | EN | input | Enable pin; logic high turns device on and regulates voltage from IN to OUT, logic low turns device off. |
| 4 | BIAS | power_in | Bias supply pin for control circuit operating from VOUT + 1.4 V to 5.5 V; bypass with ceramic capacitor to ground for transient performance. |
| 5 | GND | power_in | Ground pin; thermal pad should be connected to ground per Texas Instruments recommendation. |
| 6 | IN | power_in | Input pin for main power path with maximum 4.5 V; VIN must not exceed VBIAS; bypass with 1 μF ceramic capacitor to ground. |
| 7 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
