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. |
