DRV8601DRBR from Texas Instruments, in a VSON-8-EP(3x3). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | EN | input | Enable input with 1.8-V compatibility; activates normal operation when high (≥1.15 V) and enters low-power shutdown consuming 10 nA when low (≤0.5 V). |
| 2 | REFOUT | output | Reference voltage output set to VDD/2 by internal voltage divider; requires external capacitor for noise filtering and PSRR improvement. |
| 3 | IN2 | input | Single-ended analog input accepting PWM or DC voltage for motor control with input impedance of 2 MΩ. |
| 4 | IN1 | input | Single-ended analog input accepting PWM or DC voltage for motor control with input impedance of 2 MΩ. |
| 5 | OUT+ | output | Positive differential motor drive output capable of sourcing and sinking up to 400 mA with output voltage swing from 0 to VDD. |
| 6 | VDD | power_in | Power supply input with recommended operating range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V; requires decoupling capacitor placed close to pin. |
| 7 | GND | power_in | Power supply ground reference for all signal levels. |
| 8 | OUT- | output | Negative differential motor drive output capable of sourcing and sinking up to 400 mA with output voltage swing from ground to VDD. |
| 9 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |

Neither the vendor nor KiCad ships a 3D model for this package, so the dimensions are nominal, not the manufacturer's CAD (STEP)
