LM2936MPX-5.0

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

LM2936MPX-5.0 from Texas Instruments, 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 IN power_in Unregulated input voltage. Recommended operating range 5.5 V to 40 V (LM2936); withstands -50 V transients and -24 V reverse polarity. 100 nF decoupling cap required if regulator is >2 inches from supply filter capacitor.
2 GND power_in Device ground reference. Tied together internally with pin 4 (tab). Both must be connected to the system ground plane.
3 OUT power_out Regulated 5-V output (±2% initial tolerance, ±3% over line/load/temperature). Delivers up to 50 mA. Requires a minimum 10 µF output capacitor with ESR between 0.3 Ω and 8 Ω placed close to the regulator for stability.
4 GND power_in Ground / thermal tab. Electrically the same node as pin 2. Provides the primary heatsink path (SOT-223 tab), tie to a ground copper pour to improve thermal performance.
