MCP120T-270I from Microchip, in a SOT-23. 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 | VDD | power_in | Positive supply and monitored voltage input. Operating range 1.0 V to 5.5 V (absolute max 7.0 V). The internal bandgap comparator continuously compares VDD against the 2.625 V (typ) trip point for the -270 variant. A 0.1 μF bypass capacitor placed close to this pin is recommended for transient immunity. |
| 2 | RST | output | Active-low reset output (open-drain on the MCP120). Driven low whenever VDD is below VTRIP and held low for tRPU = 350 ms (typ) after VDD returns above VTRIP. VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 3.2 mA (for the -270 trip variant). Requires an external pull-up resistor to the microcontroller supply because the MCP120 has NO internal pull-up (that is only on the MCP130). |
| 3 | VSS | power_in | Ground / negative supply return. Connect to the system ground plane. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 454 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.
