LP2951ACMMX from Texas Instruments, in a VSSOP-8-0.65mm. 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 | power_out | Regulated output voltage. Delivers up to 100 mA; programmable from 1.24 V to 29 V by external divider (or pin-strapped to 3 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V by tying FEEDBACK to VTAP). Requires an output capacitor for stability. |
| 2 | SENSE | input | Output voltage sense input for the internal reference divider. Normally tied directly to OUT (or to the load Kelvin point) so the regulator senses the actual load voltage. |
| 3 | SHUTDOWN | input | Logic-level shutdown input. Drive high to disable the regulator (output off) or low to enable normal operation. Referenced to GND, tolerates up to 30 V. |
| 4 | GROUND | power_in | Device ground reference. Return for input supply, output capacitor, and internal reference. |
| 5 | ERROR | output | Open-collector active-low error flag. Pulls low when the regulated output falls approximately 5% below its nominal value (dropout, over-current, thermal shutdown, or low VIN); typically used for power-on reset or brown-out indication. Requires an external pull-up resistor. |
| 6 | VTAP | output | Tap of the internal precision resistor divider used to set the fixed 5 V / 3.3 V / 3 V output. Tie to FEEDBACK for the preset factory output; leave open when programming a custom output with an external divider. |
| 7 | FEEDBACK | input | Voltage feedback input to the error amplifier (internal reference ≈ 1.235 V). Tie to VTAP for the preset output, or drive from an external R1/R2 divider from OUT to GND to program VOUT from 1.24 V to 29 V. |
| 8 | IN | power_in | Unregulated input supply. Operates from 2.3 V to 30 V; requires a small input decoupling capacitor (typ. 1 µF). |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 503 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.
