MD5121 from Shanghai Mingda Microelectronics, in a SOT-23-3L. 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 | GND | power_in | Ground pin; also the return for the internal COUT auto-discharge switch (RDCHG 280-640 ohm) connected to VOUT. |
| 2 | VOUT | power_out | Regulated 2.1V output (±2%) delivering up to 300mA (250mA min); VOUT must not exceed VIN+0.3V, and COUT of 0.1uF or more is recommended. |
| 3 | VIN | power_in | Supply input, 1.5V to 7V operating range (absolute maximum -0.3 to 8.0V); CIN of 1.0uF or more is recommended, placed close to the IC. |
