TPS7A8500ARGRT

Texas Instruments · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · VQFN-20-EP(3.5x3.5)

TPS7A8500ARGRT from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-20-EP(3.5x3.5). 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 OUT power_out Regulated output pin; 47-μF or larger ceramic capacitor from OUT to ground required for stability and must be placed as close as possible to output.
2 SNS input Output voltage sense input pin; connect to load side of output trace only if ANY-OUT feature is used, otherwise leave floating.
3 FB input Feedback pin connected to error amplifier; 10-nF feed-forward capacitor from FB to OUT recommended to maximize ac performance.
4 PG output Active-high open-drain power-good output indicates when output voltage reaches the target; feed-forward capacitor may disrupt this function.
5 50mV input ANY-OUT voltage setting pin; connect to ground, SNS, or leave floating; multiple pins may be simultaneously connected to select desired output voltage.
6 100mV input ANY-OUT voltage setting pin; connect to ground, SNS, or leave floating; multiple pins may be simultaneously connected to select desired output voltage.
7 200mV input ANY-OUT voltage setting pin; connect to ground, SNS, or leave floating; multiple pins may be simultaneously connected to select desired output voltage.
8 GND power_in Ground pin; must be connected to ground, thermal pad, and each other GND pin with low-impedance connection.
9 400mV input ANY-OUT voltage setting pin; connect to ground, SNS, or leave floating; multiple pins may be simultaneously connected to select desired output voltage.
10 800mV input ANY-OUT voltage setting pin; connect to ground, SNS, or leave floating; multiple pins may be simultaneously connected to select desired output voltage.
11 1.6V input ANY-OUT voltage setting pin; connect to ground, SNS, or leave floating; multiple pins may be simultaneously connected to select desired output voltage.
12 BIAS power_in BIAS supply voltage pin; enables use of low-input voltage, low-output (LILO) voltage conditions; 10-µF capacitor or larger must be connected between this pin and ground if used.
13 NR/SS passive Noise-reduction and soft-start pin; external capacitor between this pin and ground reduces reference voltage noise and enables soft-start function; 10-nF or larger recommended.
14 EN input Enable pin; logic high enables device, logic low disables device; must be connected to IN or BIAS if enable functionality not required.
15 IN power_in Input supply voltage pin; 10-μF or larger ceramic capacitor (5 μF capacitance or greater) from IN to ground required; place input capacitor as close as possible to input.
16 IN power_in Input supply voltage pin; 10-μF or larger ceramic capacitor (5 μF capacitance or greater) from IN to ground required; place input capacitor as close as possible to input.
17 IN power_in Input supply voltage pin; 10-μF or larger ceramic capacitor (5 μF capacitance or greater) from IN to ground required; place input capacitor as close as possible to input.
18 GND power_in Ground pin; must be connected to ground, thermal pad, and each other GND pin with low-impedance connection.
19 OUT power_out Regulated output pin; 47-μF or larger ceramic capacitor from OUT to ground required for stability and must be placed as close as possible to output.
20 OUT power_out Regulated output pin; 47-μF or larger ceramic capacitor from OUT to ground required for stability and must be placed as close as possible to output.
21 Thermal Pad passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).

Manufacturer Texas Instruments
Package VQFN-20-EP(3.5x3.5)

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: TPS7A8500ARGRT
  • Footprint: Package_DFN_QFN:QFN-20-1EP_3.5x3.5mm_P0.5mm_EP2x2mm
  • 3D model: VQFN-20-EP(3.5x3.5), generated from the KiCad footprint (body from the F.Fab outline, terminals on the pads, 0.9 mm nominal QFN 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: tps7a8500argrt-etched.step / tps7a8500argrt-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); tps7a8500argrt.step / tps7a8500argrt.glb are the bare package body.
