MCP16301HT-E from Microchip, in a SOT-23-6. 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 | BOOST | passive | Boost pin for the internal high-side NMOS gate driver's floating supply. An external bootstrap capacitor (typ. 100 nF) is connected between BOOST and SW; charge is refreshed from VOUT through an external boost diode (e.g. 1N4148). Absolute max BOOST-GND = -0.5V to 46V; BOOST-SW = -0.5V to 6.0V. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Device ground and return pin for all internal circuitry. Should form a short, low-impedance path back to the input capacitor, output capacitor return, and Schottky freewheel diode to minimize switching noise. |
| 3 | VFB | input | Output-voltage feedback pin. Connect the midpoint of an external resistor divider from VOUT to GND here; the internal error amplifier regulates VFB to VREF = 0.800V typ. (0.784V-0.816V). Feedback input bias current is ±10 nA typ. (±250 nA max). Absolute max = -0.5V to 6.0V. |
| 4 | EN | input | Active-high enable input. VIH ≥ 1.4V turns the regulator on; VIL ≤ 0.4V forces shutdown (IQ ≈ 7 µA). Do not float. Input leakage 0.05 µA typ (1.0 µA max) at VEN = 12V. Absolute max = -0.5V to (VIN + 0.3V). |
| 5 | VIN | power_in | Input supply for the power stage and internal bias. Operating range 4.7V-36V (MCP16301H) or 4.0V-30V (MCP16301). Requires a 4.7-20 µF ceramic bypass to GND close to the pin (1 µF X7R/X5R acceptable for light loads, -40 to +85°C). UVLO start typ. 3.5V, stop typ. 3.0V. |
| 6 | SW | output | Switch node: drain of the internal 460 mΩ high-side N-channel MOSFET. Connects to the external inductor, the freewheel Schottky diode cathode, and the bootstrap capacitor lower plate. Current-limited at 1.3A typ. Absolute max VIN-SW = -0.5V to 40V; slews very fast, keep the Schottky close to SW and GND. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 503 faces against 117 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.
