U3018F from UNI SEMIC, 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 | NC | unconnected | No connection. Recommended to leave floating. |
| 2 | FB | input | Voltage feedback input pin. When left floating, the chip defaults to a 14.3V output; for adjustable output, connect a resistor divider from the output to this pin (internal reference V_FB_REF ≈ 2.0V). |
| 3 | Drain | passive | Drain of the internal high-voltage power MOSFET (V_BR ≈ 190V, R_dson ≈ 1.15Ω). Also used for high-voltage startup current sensing (I_HV ≈ 1-4mA at HV=150V). Absolute maximum drain voltage: -0.3 to 190V. |
| 4 | SW | passive | Switch node / internal MOSFET source. Pins 4 and 7 must be shorted together in the application (they form the chip ground/switch node connection per the datasheet). |
| 5 | VF | input | Default 14.3V feedback pin. Used for output over-voltage protection sensing; when VF > 2.4V for 3 consecutive cycles the chip enters OVP and auto-restart mode. |
| 6 | VDD | power_in | Chip supply pin, also serves as an output voltage feedback terminal. A 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor is recommended. V_DD_OVP ≈ 24V, V_DD_Clamp ≈ 26V @ 10mA, absolute max 30V. Startup current I_VDD_st ≈ 100µA, operating current I_VDD_Op ≈ 800µA @ 60kHz. |
| 7 | SW | passive | Switch node / internal MOSFET source. Pins 4 and 7 must be shorted together in the application. |
| 8 | GND | power_in | Ground reference for the chip. |

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 411 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.
