AOZ1284PI from Alpha Omega Semicon, in a SOIC-8-EP. 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 | LX | output | PWM switch node output. Connect to the external inductor of the buck converter. Swings from ~GND to ~VIN at the switching frequency; abs-max -0.7V to VIN+0.3V. |
| 2 | BST | power_in | Bootstrap voltage pin. Driver supply for the high-side NMOS. Connect a 100 nF ceramic capacitor between BST and LX; abs-max -0.3V to VLX+6V. |
| 3 | GND | power_in | Ground pin. Signal and power ground reference for the IC. |
| 4 | FSW | input | Frequency bias pin. Connect a resistor (RF) from FSW to GND to program the switching frequency from 200 kHz (RF≈270 kΩ) to 2 MHz. |
| 5 | COMP | output | Error amplifier compensation pin. Connect an external R-C network to GND to set loop compensation for system stability; abs-max -0.3V to +6V. |
| 6 | FB | input | Feedback pin. Regulated to 0.8V (typ). Connect a resistor divider from VOUT to FB to GND to program the output voltage (0.8V to VIN*0.85V); abs-max -0.3V to +6V. |
| 7 | SS | passive | Soft-start pin. Connect an external capacitor from SS to GND to set the soft-start ramp time; internal source current ~2.5 µA; abs-max -0.3V to +6V. |
| 8 | EN | input | Enable pin. Drive above ~1.2V (typ) to enable the regulator, below 0.4V to disable (shutdown). 200 mV of input hysteresis; abs-max -0.3V to +6V. |
| EPAD | VIN | power_in | Supply voltage pin, provided on the exposed thermal pad. Operating range 3.0V to 36V (abs-max 40V). Must be soldered to a PCB copper plane both for the input supply connection and for heat sinking. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 455 faces against 152 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.
