RT9078-28GJ5

Richtek Tech · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TSOT-23-5

RT9078-28GJ5 from Richtek Tech, in a TSOT-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 VIN power_in Supply voltage input. Operating range 1.2V to 5.5V; absolute max −0.3V to 6.5V. Bypass to GND with a ceramic capacitor close to the pin.
2 GND power_in Device ground reference. Return path for the regulator; carry through a low-impedance path back to the input/output capacitor grounds.
3 EN input Enable control input. VIH ≥ 0.9V enables the regulator; VIL ≤ 0.4V shuts it down (shutdown IQ ~0.1μA). Do not leave floating; IEN ≤ 0.1μA at VEN = 5.5V. Absolute max −0.3V to 6.5V.
4 NC unconnected No internal connection. Base RT9078 part (without SNS); the SNS function is available only on the RT9078N variant. Leave floating or tie to GND.
5 VOUT power_out Regulated output of the LDO. Fixed 2.8V (per '28' suffix), ±2% accuracy, up to 300mA (VIN ≥ 1.7V). Requires ≥1μF ceramic or tantalum output capacitor for stability; discharge resistance ~80Ω when disabled.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
rt9078-28gj5.step 85 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
rt9078-28gj5-etched.step 2.5 MB You want the part with RT9078-28GJ5 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 587 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: Richtek Tech datasheet (15 pp, sha256 9337f2d38381f671, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
