78L18

Shikues · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-89-3

78L18 from Shikues, in a SOT-89-3. 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 +18 V output, up to 150 mA. A 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor to GND improves transient response but is not required for stability.
2 GND power_in Common ground reference. Must be shared between input and output. Quiescent current of ~3-5.5 mA flows out of this pin.
3 VIN power_in Unregulated input supply, typically at least VOUT + 2.0 V (dropout), maximum 30 V. Bypass with 0.33 uF close to the pin for stable operation.
