TPS7A2018PDBVR

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

TPS7A2018PDBVR from Texas Instruments, in a SOT-23-5L. 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 IN power_in Input voltage supply, 1.6 V to 6.0 V. Bypass to GND with a 1 µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the IN and GND pins for best transient response and to minimize input impedance.
2 GND power_in Common ground reference for the device. All voltages are measured with respect to this pin.
3 EN input Enable input, 0 V to 6.0 V. A low voltage (< VEN(LOW)) turns the regulator off and discharges OUT to GND; a high voltage (> VEN(HI)) enables the regulator. An internal 500 kΩ pulldown holds the regulator off by default and is disconnected once VEN > VEN(HI) to reduce input current.
4 NC unconnected No internal electrical connection. May be left floating or tied to a plane; making no connection is preferred.
5 OUT power_out Regulated output voltage (1.8 V for TPS7A2018). Requires a low-ESR ceramic capacitor (1 µF nominal, 0.47 µF to 200 µF effective, ESR ≤ 100 mΩ) to GND placed close to the OUT and GND pins for stability. An internal 150 Ω (typical) pulldown discharges VOUT in shutdown (VEN < VEN(LOW)).

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
tps7a2018pdbvr.step 85 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
tps7a2018pdbvr-etched.step 2.5 MB You want the part with TPS7A2018PDBVR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 607 faces against 102 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Texas Instruments datasheet (57 pp, sha256 0c6942715f398ba4, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
