The component you mentioned, LT1763CS8#TRPBF, is produced by Analog Devices. It is a Low Dropout Regulator (LDO). This device provides a stable output voltage with a very low dropout voltage, which is especially useful for sensitive electronic systems that require low-voltage operation.
Package Type:
LT1763CS8#TRPBF comes in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package.Pin Function Specifications:
For a detailed explanation of each pin, I will break down the 8-pin configuration and describe each function:
Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function 1 IN Input voltage pin. This is where the input voltage is provided, typically in the range of 2.6V to 20V. 2 GND Ground pin. Connect to the system ground. 3 EN Enable pin. This pin is used to enable or disable the regulator. A logic high signal (typically >1.2V) enables the output voltage, while a logic low signal disables the output voltage. 4 VOUT Output voltage pin. This pin provides the regulated output voltage. The LT1763 can provide output voltages from 1.8V to 15V depending on the configuration. 5 NC No connection. This pin does not connect to any internal circuit and is not used. 6 NC No connection. Same as pin 5, this is not used. 7 FB Feedback pin. This is used for feedback to maintain the output voltage at a constant level. It is tied to a resistor divider from the output to the ground to set the output voltage. 8 OUT This pin is also used for output voltage, typically connected to the regulated output of the LDO.Detailed Pin Function List:
Pin 1 (IN): The input voltage pin is used to supply the input power to the regulator. It accepts an input voltage range of 2.6V to 20V (depending on the output voltage). The input voltage should be higher than the output voltage by a margin (dropout voltage) to ensure proper regulation.
Pin 2 (GND): This is the ground pin, and it should be connected directly to the ground of the system for proper operation.
Pin 3 (EN): The enable pin controls the operation of the LDO. When the voltage on this pin is above 1.2V, the regulator is enabled, and it outputs a regulated voltage. If the voltage on the EN pin is below 0.4V, the output will be disabled, and the regulator will not function.
Pin 4 (VOUT): This is the output voltage pin. It provides the regulated output voltage to the load. This pin can be connected to the system requiring a stable voltage. The output voltage is set by a resistor divider from the output to the ground through the FB pin.
Pin 5 (NC): No connection. This pin should not be used for anything, as it has no internal connection.
Pin 6 (NC): Similar to Pin 5, this pin is also unused and should be left unconnected.
Pin 7 (FB): This feedback pin is used to ensure that the output voltage stays at the desired level. The feedback loop compares the voltage at the FB pin to an internal reference voltage, which maintains the regulated output voltage. A resistor divider network is typically connected to this pin to set the desired output voltage.
Pin 8 (OUT): The output voltage pin connects to the regulated voltage provided by the device. This pin should be connected to the load that requires a constant voltage.
