LT1521CS8-5#TRPBF

Analog Devices · Linear Voltage Regulators (LDO) · SO-8

LT1521CS8-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices, in a SO-8. 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 The output pin supplies power to the load and requires a minimum output capacitor of 1.5µF to prevent oscillations.
2 SENSE input For the LT1521-5 fixed-voltage version, the sense pin is the error amplifier input, with a bias current of 5µA at nominal output and internal clamping to -0.6V.
3 GND power_in Ground pin; the S8 package thermal note identifies pins 3, 6 and 7 as ground.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection on this package; it is not used by the device function.
5 SHDN input Active-low shutdown input that turns the output off when pulled low, with internal clamps at 7V and -0.6V and pull-up current limited to a maximum of 5mA.
6 GND power_in Ground pin; the S8 package thermal note identifies pins 3, 6 and 7 as ground.
7 GND power_in Ground pin; the S8 package thermal note identifies pins 3, 6 and 7 as ground.
8 IN power_in Supply input that withstands reverse voltages of 20V and should be bypassed with 1µF to 10µF when the device is more than six inches from the main input filter capacitor.
