LM2937IMPX-8.0 from Texas Instruments, in a SOT-223-4. 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 | INPUT | input | Unregulated voltage input; VIN must be between VOUT + 1 V and 26 V continuous (60 V transient, t ≤ 100 ms). |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Ground pin, which is also the reference for the internally connected TAB. |
| 3 | OUTPUT | output | Regulated voltage output that requires an output capacitor to maintain stability, with capacitor ESR up to 3 Ω. |
| 4 | TAB | power_in | Thermal and ground connection internally tied to device pin 2 (GND); connect to GND or leave floating and do not connect to any other potential. |
