ZLDO1117QK50TC

Diodes Incorporated · Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators · TO-252

ZLDO1117QK50TC from Diodes Incorporated, in a TO-252. 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 GND power_in Ground reference pin for the fixed-output ZLDO1117Q-50 variant. On adjustable variants this same pin is the ADJ feedback node; on this 5.0V fixed-mode part it is tied internally to the reference divider and must be connected to system ground.
2 VOUT power_out Regulated 5.0V output of the LDO, capable of sourcing up to 1A. Requires a minimum 4.7µF capacitor to ground (0.05Ω ≤ ESR ≤ 0.5Ω) for stability; a larger output capacitor improves AC load response. The exposed tab is also VOUT.
3 VIN power_in Input supply pin, 2.7V to 18V. A large storage capacitor (0.05Ω ≤ ESR ≤ 0.5Ω) should be placed close to this pin so the input does not sag below the minimum dropout during load transients. VIN must be at least ~1.3V above VOUT for proper regulation (6.3V minimum for 5.0V output at full load).
TAB VOUT power_out Exposed thermal tab electrically tied to VOUT. Solder to the PCB copper pour associated with the output net to conduct heat and improve power dissipation (θJA = 73 °C/W, θJC = 12 °C/W for TO252).
