RT9048GSP

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

RT9048GSP from Richtek Tech, 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 NC unconnected No internal connection.
2 EN input Enable control input (Active-High). Pulling below 0.4V turns the regulator off, reducing quiescent current to ~1.5μA. Enable threshold typ. 1.08V rising / 1.02V falling at VIN=3.3V. Device is enabled if left open; connect to VIN if not used.
3 VIN power_in Supply voltage input. For full-load regulation, input must be between (VOUT + 0.5V) and 6V. Minimum input voltage is 1.4V. Place a large bulk cap plus at least a 10μF ceramic capacitor directly at this pin.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection.
5 NC unconnected No internal connection.
6 VOUT power_out Regulated output voltage, adjustable from 0.5V up to VIN − VDROP, sourcing up to 2A. Place a minimum 10μF ceramic capacitor directly at this pin for stability.
7 ADJ input Feedback voltage input, VADJ = 0.5V (typ). If tied to VOUT, output is set to 0.5V. Otherwise VOUT = 0.5V × (1 + R1/R2) via an external resistor divider. Very low IADJ (~20nA) permits divider resistors up to 800kΩ.
8 GND power_in Ground pin.
9 GND power_in Exposed thermal pad (bottom of package). Must be soldered to a large PCB ground plane and connected to GND for maximum power dissipation (θJA = 49°C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC board).

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
rt9048gsp.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
rt9048gsp-etched.step 2.3 MB You want the part with RT9048GSP already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 552 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.
