mt6501ct-add.lbr rebuild the library on adom-lbr 2.32.0. The published copy was built by 2.18.0, which imported every KiCad roundrect and oval pad as a SQUARE EAGLE smd; this carries the real pad shape across (0 -> 8 rounded pads) and stops dropping geometry drawn on KiCad User.N layers. Attributes, connects, pads and the pin-1 marker are gated against decreasing and are unchanged. · Ray 1mo ago

MT6501CT-ADD

Magn Tek · Position Sensor · SOP-8

MT6501CT-ADD from Magn Tek, in a SOP-8. 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 5 V power supply input (operating 4.5-5.5 V; abs-max ±30 V). IDD typ 6 mA / max 9 mA in run, up to 60 mA peak at power-up.
2 CSN/T0 bidirectional SPI chip-select (active-low) input in normal use; also serves as Test0 in factory internal-test mode.
3 SWO/T1 bidirectional Angle-position switch output (SWO) - asserts when the sensed angle crosses a programmable threshold. Also serves as Test1 in factory internal-test mode.
4 SCK input SPI serial clock input for the 3-wire SPI interface.
5 OUT bidirectional Primary output pin: user-selectable analog voltage output (ratiometric to VDD, 12-bit DAC), PWM output (976/488/244/122 Hz programmable), or single-wire OWI programming/communication I/O. Drives ±15 mA with short-circuit protection.
6 SDAT/T2 bidirectional SPI serial data I/O for the 3-wire SPI interface; also serves as Test2 in factory internal-test mode.
7 T3 bidirectional Factory internal-test pin (Test3). Not used in normal operation - leave unconnected or per manufacturer recommendation.
8 VSS power_in Ground / 0 V reference.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: MT6501CT-ADD
  • Footprint: Package_SO:SOIC-8_3.9x4.9mm_P1.27mm
  • 3D model: SOP-8 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: mt6501ct-add-etched.step / mt6501ct-add-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); mt6501ct-add.step / mt6501ct-add.glb are the bare package body.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
mt6501ct-add.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
mt6501ct-add-etched.step 2.0 MB You want the part with MT6501CT-ADD already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 519 faces against 147 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.
