SP6205EM5-L

MaxLinear · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-23-5

SP6205EM5-L from MaxLinear, 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 VIN power_in Power supply input, 2.7V to 5.5V operating range (absolute max -2V to +6.0V). Recommend 2.2µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) to ground close to the pin.
2 GND power_in Ground terminal. Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent plus ground current (typ. 5µA quiescent, ~350µA at 500mA load).
3 EN input Enable / Shutdown input. Logic high (≥1.6V) enables the regulator; logic low (≤0.4V) puts the part into shutdown (~0.01µA typical). Absolute max -2V to +6V; operating range 0V to 5.5V. Do not leave floating.
4 ADJ input Adjustable regulator feedback input (adjustable output voltage option, applies to SP6205EM5-L). Connect to the midpoint of an external resistive divider between VOUT and GND; VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R1/R2). Internal reference is 1.25V (typ.).
5 VOUT power_out Regulator output voltage. Rated 500mA continuous (SP6205). Requires a 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor (COUT) to GND for stability; unconditionally stable with 2.2µF ceramic. Absolute max -0.6V to VIN + 1V.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
sp6205em5-l.step 85 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
sp6205em5-l-etched.step 2.1 MB You want the part with SP6205EM5-L already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 503 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: MaxLinear datasheet (15 pp, sha256 84c8b541eca0580d, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
