L78L09ACUTR

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-89

L78L09ACUTR from STMicroelectronics, in a SOT-89. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VOUT power_out Regulated +9 V output. Delivers up to 100 mA. Requires a 0.1 µF ceramic output capacitor to ground for stability. Internally current-limited and thermally protected.
2 GND power_in Ground / common reference for both input and output. On SOT-89 the ground pin is the center lead and also bonded to the heat-spreader tab on the underside for thermal dissipation.
3 VIN power_in Unregulated DC input voltage. For 9 V output the recommended VI is ~14 V (typ. dropout ~1.7 V, absolute max VI = 30 V for VO ≤ 9 V). A 0.33 µF input capacitor to GND is required when the regulator is located far from the supply filter.
