TL1963A-18DCQR

Texas Instruments · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-223-6

TL1963A-18DCQR from Texas Instruments, in a SOT-223-6. 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 SHDN input Driving SHDN high enables the regulator and driving it low disables it, with a turn-on threshold of 0.9 V to 2 V and a turn-off threshold of 0.25 V to 0.75 V; it must be tied to VIN if not used.
2 IN power_in Input supply pin, operating from 2.4 V to 20 V for the new-chip version, with a 1 µF input capacitor recommended.
3 GND power_in Ground pin, one of two GND pins (with pin 6) that should be tied to a wide ground copper area close to the device.
4 OUT power_out Regulator output that requires a capacitor of at least 10 µF with ESR of 3 Ω or less from OUT to GND for stability, placed as close to the output pin as possible.
5 SENSE/ADJ input For the fixed-voltage TL1963A-xx version this pin is the error-amplifier SENSE input and must be connected to OUT for proper operation (the ADJ function applies to the adjustable TL1963A).
6 GND power_in Ground pin, one of two GND pins (with pin 3) that should be tied to a wide ground copper area close to the device.
