LR78L09A

LRC · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-89

LR78L09A from LRC, in a SOT-89. 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 Regulated +9 V output. Typical 9.0 V (min 8.64 V, max 9.36 V at Tj=25°C). Supplies up to 100 mA. A 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to GND close to the pin is recommended for stability and transient response.
2 GND power_in Ground / common return. On SOT-89 this pin is electrically tied to the large center tab used as the thermal pad.
3 Vin power_in Unregulated input voltage. Absolute max 30 V for the 9 V option; recommended range 11.5 V to 24 V. Dropout ~1.7 V typical. A 0.33 µF bypass capacitor to GND close to the pin is recommended.
