DS8242-50SS3 from DSTECH, in a SOT-23. 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 | GND | power_in | Ground reference for the regulator. Connect directly to system ground with a wide, short trace back to the input and output capacitor grounds to minimize parasitic inductance. |
| 2 | VOUT | power_out | Regulated output of the LDO, fixed at 5.0V (±1%) for the -50 variant. Supplies up to 500mA continuous load current with a 700mA (typ.) current limit. Requires a 1µF-22µF ceramic/tantalum capacitor (min 1mΩ ESR) placed close to the pin for stability. |
| 3 | VIN | power_in | Input supply voltage, 2.0V to 24V (absolute max 30V). Decouple with a 1µF or larger ceramic capacitor placed close to the pin. Dropout is 0.35V at 100mA for VOUT ≥ 5V. |
