LP2950CZ-3.3

Texas Instruments · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-92-3

LP2950CZ-3.3 from Texas Instruments, in a TO-92-3. 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 voltage pin; the 3.3-V version of the LP2950-N is pin-strapped for a 3.3 V output as stated in the voltage options.
2 GND power_in Ground pin of the regulator, connected to the common ground of the circuit.
3 IN power_in Input supply voltage pin, with a stated input supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 30 V and an absolute maximum of 30 V.
