TPS78218DDCR

Texas Instruments · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TSOT-23-5

TPS78218DDCR from Texas Instruments, in a TSOT-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 IN input Input pin. For stable operation, place a small, 0.1-µF capacitor from this pin to ground; typical input capacitor = 1.0 µF. Tie back both input and output capacitor grounds to the IC ground, with no significant impedance between them.
2 GND power_in Ground pin. Tie all ground pins to ground for proper operation.
3 EN input Enable pin. Drive this pin over 1.2 V to turn on the regulator. Drive this pin below 0.4 V to put the regulator into shutdown mode, reducing operating current to 18 nA typical.
4 GND power_in Ground pin. Tie all ground pins to ground for proper operation.
5 OUT output Regulated output voltage pin. A small (1-μF) ceramic capacitor is needed from this pin to ground to assure stability.
