EG4003C from EG Micro, 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 | 1OUT | output | Output of the internal first-stage op-amp (OP1). Used as the feedback node for the external gain-setting network (R2, R3, C3) driving the inverting input 1IN-. |
| 2 | 1IN- | input | Inverting input of the internal first-stage op-amp (OP1). The PIR/microwave signal is AC-coupled here through C2/R2; overall analog gain A = A1*A2 = (R3/R2)*30 (typical 9000). |
| 3 | VC | input | Trigger-inhibit input. When V(VC) < 0.2VDD triggering is disabled and OUT is forced low; when V(VC) > 0.2VDD the trigger path is enabled and OUT follows Vs. Typically driven by a CdS/LDR divider for dusk-only operation. |
| 4 | A | input | Retrigger mode select. A='1' (tied to VDD) enables retriggerable mode (Tx timer restarts on each Vs pulse during Tx). A='0' (tied to GND) selects non-retriggerable mode. VAH=3.5 V min @VDD=5 V; VAL=1 V max @VDD=5 V. |
| 5 | GND | power_in | Device ground reference (0 V). |
| 6 | OUT | output | Active-high control signal output driving the load (relay, transistor, MCU). Drive capability ±25 mA at VDD=5 V and ±10 mA at VDD=3 V; VOH=4.5 V min @ILOAD=10 mA / VDD=5 V. |
| 7 | CT | passive | Oscillator timing node. Connect an external capacitor CT to GND and a pull-up resistor RT (>=100 kΩ) to VDD; Tosc ≈ 0.4·RT·CT·RT/(RT-20k). Example: RT=100 kΩ, CT=1 nF → Tosc≈50 μs (f≈20 kHz). Sets Tx and Ti timer periods. |
| 8 | VDD | power_in | Positive supply input, +3 V to +6 V operating range (7 V absolute max). Quiescent current typ 35 uA @3 V, 65 uA @5 V. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 447 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.
