LM79L05ACMX

Texas Instruments · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOIC-8-150mil

LM79L05ACMX from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-8-150mil. 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 Negative regulated output voltage pin. Provides -5V nominal at up to 100mA (LM79L05AC variant). Requires a 0.1µF output capacitor for stability.
2 -VIN power_in Negative unregulated input voltage pin. Absolute maximum -35V; typical operating range -7.3V to -20V for the -5V variant. Tied together with pins 3 and 7 (all -VIN).
3 -VIN power_in Negative unregulated input voltage pin. Internally connected to pins 2 and 7. Multiple input pins improve thermal dissipation in the SOIC package.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to GND per PCB convenience.
5 GND power_in Ground / common return pin for the regulator. Reference for both input and output voltages.
6 -VIN power_in Negative unregulated input voltage pin. Internally connected to the other -VIN pins.
7 -VIN power_in Negative unregulated input voltage pin. Internally connected to pins 2, 3, and 6.
8 NC unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to GND per PCB convenience.
