LP2951ACMMX

Texas Instruments · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · VSSOP-8-0.65mm

LP2951ACMMX from Texas Instruments, in a VSSOP-8-0.65mm. 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 OUT power_out Regulated output voltage. Delivers up to 100 mA; programmable from 1.24 V to 29 V by external divider (or pin-strapped to 3 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V by tying FEEDBACK to VTAP). Requires an output capacitor for stability.
2 SENSE input Output voltage sense input for the internal reference divider. Normally tied directly to OUT (or to the load Kelvin point) so the regulator senses the actual load voltage.
3 SHUTDOWN input Logic-level shutdown input. Drive high to disable the regulator (output off) or low to enable normal operation. Referenced to GND, tolerates up to 30 V.
4 GROUND power_in Device ground reference. Return for input supply, output capacitor, and internal reference.
5 ERROR output Open-collector active-low error flag. Pulls low when the regulated output falls approximately 5% below its nominal value (dropout, over-current, thermal shutdown, or low VIN); typically used for power-on reset or brown-out indication. Requires an external pull-up resistor.
6 VTAP output Tap of the internal precision resistor divider used to set the fixed 5 V / 3.3 V / 3 V output. Tie to FEEDBACK for the preset factory output; leave open when programming a custom output with an external divider.
7 FEEDBACK input Voltage feedback input to the error amplifier (internal reference ≈ 1.235 V). Tie to VTAP for the preset output, or drive from an external R1/R2 divider from OUT to GND to program VOUT from 1.24 V to 29 V.
8 IN power_in Unregulated input supply. Operates from 2.3 V to 30 V; requires a small input decoupling capacitor (typ. 1 µF).

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
lp2951acmmx.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
lp2951acmmx-etched.step 2.0 MB You want the part with LP2951ACMMX already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 503 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: Texas Instruments datasheet (61 pp, sha256 4478ca091af597ac, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
