INA181A4IDBVR from Texas Instruments, in a SOT-23-6. 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 | OUT | output | Analog output voltage. OUT = (IN+ - IN-) x 200 V/V + V_REF, referenced to the REF pin. Drives loads to within the specified swing of V_S and GND. |
| 2 | GND | power_in | Device ground (analog return). |
| 3 | IN+ | input | Current-sense amplifier positive input. For high-side applications, connect to the bus-voltage side of the sense resistor; for low-side applications, connect to the load side of the sense resistor. Common-mode range -0.2 V to +26 V independent of V_S. |
| 4 | IN- | input | Current-sense amplifier negative input. For high-side applications, connect to the load side of the sense resistor; for low-side applications, connect to the ground side of the sense resistor. |
| 5 | REF | input | Reference input that sets the output zero-current level (0 V to V_S). Tie to GND for unidirectional sensing, or drive to V_S/2 for bidirectional sensing. Drive from a low-impedance source since REF impedance affects gain error. |
| 6 | VS | power_in | Positive power-supply pin, 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Bypass with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND placed close to the pin. Quiescent current up to 260 µA. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 518 faces against 117 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.
