MT6501CT-ADD from Magn Tek, 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 | VDD | power_in | 5 V power supply input (operating 4.5-5.5 V; abs-max ±30 V). IDD typ 6 mA / max 9 mA in run, up to 60 mA peak at power-up. |
| 2 | CSN/T0 | bidirectional | SPI chip-select (active-low) input in normal use; also serves as Test0 in factory internal-test mode. |
| 3 | SWO/T1 | bidirectional | Angle-position switch output (SWO) - asserts when the sensed angle crosses a programmable threshold. Also serves as Test1 in factory internal-test mode. |
| 4 | SCK | input | SPI serial clock input for the 3-wire SPI interface. |
| 5 | OUT | bidirectional | Primary output pin: user-selectable analog voltage output (ratiometric to VDD, 12-bit DAC), PWM output (976/488/244/122 Hz programmable), or single-wire OWI programming/communication I/O. Drives ±15 mA with short-circuit protection. |
| 6 | SDAT/T2 | bidirectional | SPI serial data I/O for the 3-wire SPI interface; also serves as Test2 in factory internal-test mode. |
| 7 | T3 | bidirectional | Factory internal-test pin (Test3). Not used in normal operation - leave unconnected or per manufacturer recommendation. |
| 8 | VSS | power_in | Ground / 0 V reference. |

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: 519 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.
