AP2138N-2.5TRG1 from Diodes Incorporated, in a SOT-23-3. 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 for the regulator. Connect directly to the system ground plane. |
| 2 | VOUT | power_out | Regulated output voltage, fixed 2.5V ±2% (1.5% typ). Supplies up to 250mA. Requires a >1µF ceramic output capacitor (ESR 0.01Ω-100Ω) for stability. |
| 3 | VIN | power_in | Input supply voltage, 2.5V to 6.0V recommended (6.6V absolute max). Requires a 1µF ceramic input capacitor. Dropout ~700mV at 100mA load. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 581 faces against 69 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.
