MT3540-F23

Aerosemi · DC-DC Converters · SOT-23-5

MT3540-F23 from Aerosemi, in a SOT-23-5. 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 SW output Power switch output; drain of the internal NMOS power switch (RDS(on) ≈ 0.5Ω, 1.5A current limit). Connect the boost inductor and Schottky rectifier diode here. SW can swing between GND and 28V.
2 GND power_in Device ground return. Connect directly to a solid ground plane for heat sinking and noise protection; the input and output capacitor ground returns should terminate close to this pin.
3 FB input Feedback input to the internal error amplifier. Internal reference is 1.23V for the MT3540-F23 variant. Set the output voltage with an external resistor divider from VOUT to FB to GND: VOUT = 1.23V × (1 + R1/R2). Input bias current ≈ -10 nA (typ).
4 EN input Regulator on/off control input. Drive high (VIH ≥ 1.5V) to enable the converter, low (VIL ≤ 0.4V) to shut it down (IQ ≈ 0.1µA). Tie to VIN for automatic startup. Absolute maximum -0.3V to 6V.
5 VIN power_in Input supply pin, 2.5V to 5.5V operating range (6V absolute max). Must be locally bypassed with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor (≥1µF, X5R/X7R recommended) placed close to the pin.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
mt3540-f23.step 85 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
mt3540-f23-etched.step 1.9 MB You want the part with MT3540-F23 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 461 faces against 102 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: Aerosemi datasheet (8 pp, sha256 9c75dfb0f41b8042, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
