TPS73733DCQR

Texas Instruments · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · SOT-223-6

TPS73733DCQR from Texas Instruments, in a SOT-223-6. 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 IN power_in Regulator input supply. Accepts 2.2V to 5.5V (absolute max 6.0V). Bypass to GND with a low-ESR ceramic capacitor close to the pin.
2 OUT power_out Regulated 3.3V output, up to 1A. Requires a 1.0µF or larger ceramic output capacitor for stability. Dropout is ~130mV typ at 1A.
3 GND power_in Device ground reference. Tab (pin 6) is also GND and should be tied to this net through the PCB copper for thermal dissipation.
4 NR/FB input On fixed-output versions (TPS73733) this pin is the noise-reduction (NR) node - an optional bypass capacitor to GND lowers output noise. On the adjustable TPS73701 the same pin becomes the feedback (FB) input from an external R1/R2 divider (V_FB internal reference ≈ 1.198-1.210V).
5 EN input Enable input, active high. V_EN(HI) ≥ 1.7V enables the regulator; V_EN(LO) ≤ 0.5V forces shutdown (I_SHDN ≈ 20nA typ). Do not float. Absolute max −0.3V to +6.0V.
6 GND (TAB) power_in SOT-223 metal tab, internally tied to GND. Solder to a copper ground pour for thermal dissipation; must be electrically bonded to GND.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
tps73733dcqr.step 120 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
tps73733dcqr-etched.step 2.2 MB You want the part with TPS73733DCQR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 534 faces against 36 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.
