L78L08ACD13TR

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SO-8

L78L08ACD13TR from STMicroelectronics, in a SO-8. 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 (±4% tolerance). Sources up to 100 mA. Recommended 0.1 µF output capacitor to GND for stability.
2 GND power_in Ground / common return. In this SO-8 variant pins 2, 3, 6 and 7 are internally connected to the die attach flag to improve thermal dissipation; connect to a copper heat-sink area (≈6 cm²) for rated R_thJA of 55 °C/W.
3 GND power_in Ground / common return, internally tied to pins 2, 6, 7 and the die attach flag for enhanced heat-sinking.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection. May be left floating or tied to GND.
5 NC unconnected No internal connection. May be left floating or tied to GND.
6 GND power_in Ground / common return, internally tied to pins 2, 3, 7 and the die attach flag for enhanced heat-sinking.
7 GND power_in Ground / common return, internally tied to pins 2, 3, 6 and the die attach flag for enhanced heat-sinking.
8 VIN power_in Unregulated DC input voltage. Absolute maximum 30 V for a 3.3-9 V output part (this is the 8 V variant, V_I(max)=30 V). Recommended 0.33 µF input capacitor to GND if the regulator is located far from the power supply filter.
