MC79L05ACDR2G

onsemi · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOIC-8

MC79L05ACDR2G from onsemi, in a SOIC-8. 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 negative output voltage, nominally -5.0 V (-4.75 V to -5.25 V over line/load). Output current up to 100 mA (40 mA in SOIC-8 depending on thermal). A 0.1 uF output bypass capacitor is recommended for stability and transient response.
2 Vin power_in Unregulated negative input supply. Nominal operating range -7.0 V to -20 V for the -5 V version (absolute max -30 V). Pins 2, 3, 6, and 7 are all tied together internally as the input node; a 0.33 uF bypass capacitor to ground is recommended close to the pins.
3 Vin power_in Negative input supply (same net as pins 2, 6, 7). Multiple pins share the input node to reduce lead inductance and improve current handling on the SOIC-8 package.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection. Leave floating or tie to a convenient net for PCB routing; not required for operation.
5 GND power_in Common ground reference. Must be shared between input and output. Keep ground return short to avoid loop drops since the regulator has no external sense lead.
6 Vin power_in Negative input supply (same net as pins 2, 3, 7). Multiple Vin pins spread current and thermal load across the SOIC-8 leadframe.
7 Vin power_in Negative input supply (same net as pins 2, 3, 6). Ties into the internal input node of the regulator.
8 NC unconnected No internal connection. Not required for operation; may be left floating.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
mc79l05acdr2g.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
mc79l05acdr2g-etched.step 2.6 MB You want the part with MC79L05ACDR2G already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 626 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: onsemi datasheet (15 pp, sha256 3b8ec4831b4ba3d5, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
