L78L33ACD13TR

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

L78L33ACD13TR from STMicroelectronics, in a SOIC-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 3.3 V DC output (typ. 3.3 V, min 2.97 V, max 3.63 V over 1-70 mA). Requires a 0.1 uF ceramic output capacitor to ground for stability. Delivers up to 100 mA.
2 GND power_in Ground reference. In the SO-8 package pins 2, 3, 6 and 7 are internally commoned to the die attach flag to improve thermal dissipation; all four should be tied to the ground plane with a copper heat-sink area (approx. 6 cm^2) for the specified thermal resistance.
3 GND power_in Ground / thermal pad connection. Internally commoned to the die attach flag together with pins 2, 6 and 7.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to ground for lowest parasitic coupling.
5 NC unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to ground for lowest parasitic coupling.
6 GND power_in Ground / thermal pad connection. Internally commoned to the die attach flag together with pins 2, 3 and 7.
7 GND power_in Ground / thermal pad connection. Internally commoned to the die attach flag together with pins 2, 3 and 6.
8 VIN power_in Unregulated DC input. Absolute maximum 30 V for 3.3 V output variants; recommended operating range 5.3 V to 20 V (dropout typ. 2 V). A 0.33 uF ceramic input capacitor to ground is required close to the pin when the device is far from the bulk filter capacitor.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
l78l33acd13tr.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
l78l33acd13tr-etched.step 2.5 MB You want the part with L78L33ACD13TR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 621 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: STMicroelectronics datasheet (45 pp, sha256 43922ae159face7e, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
