TPS7A2018PDBVR from Texas Instruments, in a SOT-23-5L. 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 | IN | power_in | Input voltage supply, 1.6 V to 6.0 V. Bypass to GND with a 1 µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the IN and GND pins for best transient response and to minimize input impedance. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Common ground reference for the device. All voltages are measured with respect to this pin. |
| 3 | EN | input | Enable input, 0 V to 6.0 V. A low voltage (< VEN(LOW)) turns the regulator off and discharges OUT to GND; a high voltage (> VEN(HI)) enables the regulator. An internal 500 kΩ pulldown holds the regulator off by default and is disconnected once VEN > VEN(HI) to reduce input current. |
| 4 | NC | unconnected | No internal electrical connection. May be left floating or tied to a plane; making no connection is preferred. |
| 5 | OUT | power_out | Regulated output voltage (1.8 V for TPS7A2018). Requires a low-ESR ceramic capacitor (1 µF nominal, 0.47 µF to 200 µF effective, ESR ≤ 100 mΩ) to GND placed close to the OUT and GND pins for stability. An internal 150 Ω (typical) pulldown discharges VOUT in shutdown (VEN < VEN(LOW)). |

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:
| File | Size | Use it when |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 607 faces against 102 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.
