BL7121AH from BL Shanghai Belling, in a SOIC-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 | VDD1 | power_in | Side 1 power supply, 2.5 V to 5.5 V (recommended). Requires a 0.1 uF bypass capacitor to GND1 close to the pin. Absolute max 6 V. |
| 2 | VOA | output | Channel A digital output on side 1 (reverse channel). Referenced to VDD1/GND1. Drives IOH up to -4 mA / IOL up to 4 mA at 5 V supply. Default state is HIGH (AH suffix) when input power or signal is lost. |
| 3 | VIB | input | Channel B digital input on side 1 (forward channel). Referenced to VDD1/GND1. VIH >= 0.7VDD1, VIL <= 0.25VDD1. High-Z if left open (output goes to default HIGH state). |
| 4 | GND1 | power_in | Ground reference for side 1 (VDD1 domain). Isolated from GND2 by the SiO2 capacitive barrier (up to 3750 VRMS working isolation). |
| 5 | GND2 | power_in | Ground reference for side 2 (VDD2 domain). Isolated from GND1 by the SiO2 capacitive barrier. |
| 6 | VOB | output | Channel B digital output on side 2 (forward channel). Referenced to VDD2/GND2. Drives IOH up to -4 mA / IOL up to 4 mA at 5 V supply. Default state is HIGH (AH suffix) when input power or signal is lost. |
| 7 | VIA | input | Channel A digital input on side 2 (reverse channel). Referenced to VDD2/GND2. VIH >= 0.7VDD2, VIL <= 0.25VDD2. High-Z if left open (output goes to default HIGH state). |
| 8 | VDD2 | power_in | Side 2 power supply, 2.5 V to 5.5 V (recommended). Requires a 0.1 uF bypass capacitor to GND2 close to the pin. Absolute max 6 V. |

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: 366 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.
