MT9223CT-20BR5 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 | IP+ | passive | Input current positive pin (primary conductor terminal 1). Tie pins 1 and 2 together externally; primary current flows in from IP+ (pins 1,2) to IP- (pins 3,4) through the internal ~1.2 mΩ conductor. Electrically isolated from the signal side (2.4 kVrms). |
| 2 | IP+ | passive | Input current positive pin (primary conductor terminal 2). Must be shorted to pin 1 externally to carry full primary current. |
| 3 | IP- | passive | Input current negative pin (primary conductor return terminal 1). Must be shorted to pin 4 externally. |
| 4 | IP- | passive | Input current negative pin (primary conductor return terminal 2). Must be shorted to pin 3 externally. |
| 5 | GND | power_in | Signal ground for the sensor die. Reference for VCC, VOUT, and FILTER. Isolated from the primary current path (pins 1-4). |
| 6 | FILTER | passive | Filter pin to set output bandwidth. Connect an external capacitor CFILTER to GND; corner frequency fc = 1/(2·π·RF·CFILTER) with internal RF ≈ 1.8 kΩ. Increasing CFILTER lowers noise but proportionally increases response time (default BW = 150 kHz). |
| 7 | VOUT | output | Analog output signal proportional to primary current. Ratiometric to VCC; for the -20BR5 (bidirectional) variant: VOQ = VCC×0.5 (≈2.5 V at IP = 0 A), sensitivity 100 mV/A, span 0.5-4.5 V over ±20 A. DC output impedance ~5 Ω; drives loads ≥4.7 kΩ with CL up to 10 nF. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Power supply pin. 5 V single-supply operation (4.5-5.5 V), typical ICC = 14 mA (max 20 mA). Absolute max 6 V. Requires 0.1 µF CBYPASS from VCC to GND close to the pin. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 705 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.
