LM293DR from Texas Instruments, 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 | 1OUT | output | Open-collector output of comparator 1. Requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC (typical 5.1 kΩ). Sinks up to 6 mA (min) / 21 mA (typ) with VOL ≤ 1.5 V; low-level output voltage ≤ 400 mV at ISINK = 4 mA. |
| 2 | 1IN- | input | Inverting (negative) input of comparator 1. Common-mode input range extends from V- (ground) to (V+) - 1.5 V. Differential input voltage up to ±36 V; input bias current typically -25 nA. |
| 3 | 1IN+ | input | Non-inverting (positive) input of comparator 1. Common-mode input range includes ground. Input bias current typically -25 nA; must not go more than 0.3 V below V-. |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Ground / negative supply (V-). For single-supply operation, connect to system ground. |
| 5 | 2IN+ | input | Non-inverting (positive) input of comparator 2. Common-mode input range includes ground; input bias current typically -25 nA. |
| 6 | 2IN- | input | Inverting (negative) input of comparator 2. Common-mode input range V- to (V+) - 1.5 V; differential input voltage up to ±36 V. |
| 7 | 2OUT | output | Open-collector output of comparator 2. Requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC. Sinks up to 6 mA (min) with VOL ≤ 1.5 V; compatible with TTL, MOS, and CMOS logic. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Positive supply (V+). Operating range 2 V to 30 V (LM293); absolute maximum 36 V. Quiescent current typically 0.45 mA at VCC = 5 V. Bypass with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND close to the pin. |

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 417 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.
