# TPS7A8012DRBR

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

TPS7A8012DRBR from Texas Instruments, in a SON-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; 4.7-μF or larger capacitor required for stability. |
| 2 | OUT | power_out | Regulator output; 4.7-μF or larger capacitor required for stability. |
| 3 | FB/SNS | input | Feedback input (adjustable versions) or output voltage sense pin (fixed versions). |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Ground. |
| 5 | EN | input | Enable pin; logic high enables regulator, logic low enters shutdown mode; must not be left floating and can be connected to IN if not used. |
| 6 | NR | passive | Noise reduction pin; connect external capacitor to ground to reduce output noise and slow VOUT ramp for RC softstart. |
| 7 | IN | power_in | Unregulated input supply. |
| 8 | IN | power_in | Unregulated input supply. |
| 9 | GND | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
