L78L08ABUTR

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-89-3

L78L08ABUTR from STMicroelectronics, in a SOT-89-3. 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 VOUT power_out Regulated +8 V output pin. Sources up to 100 mA. Recommended 0.1 uF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for transient response and stability.
2 GND power_in Common ground return for both input and output. In SOT-89 this pin is also the die-attach tab and provides the primary thermal path to the PCB.
3 VIN power_in Unregulated positive DC input. Absolute maximum 30 V for VO = 3.3 to 9 V variants (applies to the 8 V L78L08). Recommended 0.33 uF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND near the pin.
