# TPS73515DRBR

**Texas Instruments** · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · VSON-8-EP(3x3)

TPS73515DRBR from Texas Instruments, in a VSON-8-EP(3x3). 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 | power_out | Regulator output; a small 2.2-µF ceramic capacitor from this pin to ground is required for stability, and the minimum output capacitance for stability is 2 µF. |
| 2 | NC | unconnected | Not internally connected. |
| 3 | NR | passive | Noise-reduction pin, available only on the fixed-voltage versions; an external capacitor here bypasses band-gap noise, with a maximum recommended value of 0.01 µF (10 nF per the recommended operating conditions). |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Ground; the exposed thermal pad must be tied to GND. |
| 5 | EN | input | Driving EN high turns the regulator on and driving it low puts it in shutdown; EN can be tied to IN if the enable function is not used. |
| 6 | NC | unconnected | Not internally connected. |
| 7 | NC | unconnected | Not internally connected. |
| 8 | IN | power_in | Input supply, operating from 2.7 V to 6.5 V; a 0.1-µF to 1-µF low-ESR capacitor must be placed from this pin to ground near the device. |
| 9 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `TPS73515DRBR`
- Footprint: `Package_SON:VSON-8-1EP_3x3mm_P0.65mm_EP1.6x2.4mm`
- 3D model: VSON-8-EP(3x3), generated from the KiCad footprint (body from the F.Fab outline, terminals on the pads, 0.9 mm nominal VQFN height). Neither the vendor nor KiCad ships a 3D model for this package, so the dimensions are nominal, not the manufacturer's CAD (STEP)
- 3D model files: `tps73515drbr-etched.step` / `tps73515drbr-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `tps73515drbr.step` / `tps73515drbr.glb` are the bare package body.
