LM4040AIM3X-2.5 from Texas Instruments, in a SOT-23. 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 | Cathode | passive | Cathode / VOUT of the shunt reference. Connect through a series bias resistor R_S from V_DD; the pin regulates to 2.5 V (±0.1% A-grade) with respect to Anode across 60 μA-15 mA of reverse current. Stable for any capacitive load; forward current absolute maximum 10 mA, reverse current absolute maximum 20 mA. |
| 2 | Anode | passive | Anode of the shunt reference, normally grounded. Provides the low-side return for the reverse breakdown current supplied to the Cathode pin. |
| 3 | NC | unconnected | No connect. Must be left floating or connected to pin 2 (Anode); do not tie to Cathode or any other net. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 547 faces against 69 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.
