Overview

The LM3578AN is a DC DC Converter made by Texas Instruments in a DIP-8 package with 8 pins. 0℃~+70℃@(TA) 1 2V~40V 750mA Boost、Buck、Inverting Buck、Boost Built-in No DIP-8 DC-DC Converters ROHS.

PCBKit's library has its KiCad symbol (Regulator_Switching:LM3578, from KiCad's library) and its footprint (Package_DIP:DIP-8_W8.89mm_SMDSocket_LongPads, from KiCad's library), ready for a KiCad board. JLCPCB lists it (part C131936).

Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the LM3578AN?

Yes. The symbol is Regulator_Switching:LM3578 and the footprint Package_DIP:DIP-8_W8.89mm_SMDSocket_LongPads, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the LM3578AN?

DIP-8, with 8 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the LM3578AN datasheet?

Texas Instruments publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the LM3578AN?

JLCPCB lists it as part C131936, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the LM3578AN?

Parts like it in the library: the MC34063ECN by STMicroelectronics, the MC34063EBN by STMicroelectronics, the MC34063N by HGSEMI and the L4978 by STMicroelectronics. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
