LDL1117S18R

STMicroelectronics · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-223-4

LDL1117S18R from STMicroelectronics, in a SOT-223-4. 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 to a clean analog ground plane close to the input/output capacitor return paths.
2 VOUT power_out Regulated 1.8 V output (LDL1117S18R variant). Guaranteed 1.2 A output current with typical 350 mV dropout at 1.2 A. Requires a minimum 4.7 µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R) placed close to this pin for stability. The exposed tab is internally connected to VOUT.
3 VIN power_in Input supply pin. Operating range 2.6 V to 18 V (absolute max 20 V, -0.3 to 20 V AMR). Requires a minimum 1 µF ceramic input capacitor placed as close as possible to this pin. UVLO turn-on threshold is typically 2.3 V with 200 mV hysteresis.
4 TAB power_out Exposed metal tab on SOT-223 package, internally connected to VOUT. Serves as the primary thermal dissipation path - solder to a copper pour tied to the VOUT net to reduce θJ-A.
