LP3986-18B3F

LOWPOWER · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-23

LP3986-18B3F from LOWPOWER, in a SOT-23. 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 return for the regulator. Connect to the system ground plane; the input and output decoupling capacitor return currents should share this node.
2 OUT power_out Regulated output pin, fixed 1.8V (for the -18 option) at up to 300mA. Requires a 2.2µF (low-ESR ceramic) output capacitor to ground for stability and transient response.
3 VIN power_in Unregulated power input, 2.5V to 6V operating range (7V absolute max). Bypass with a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor to GND located close to the pin.
