SCT2630ASTER from SCT, in a ESOP-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 | BOOT | power_in | Power supply bias for high-side power MOSFET gate driver. Connect a 0.1µF bootstrap capacitor from BOOT to SW. Bootstrap capacitor is charged when SW is low. Absolute max 72V; BOOT-SW rated -0.3 to 6V, UVLO threshold ~2.52V. |
| 2 | VIN | power_in | Input supply voltage, 4.5V to 60V operating range (absolute max 65V). Connect a local high-frequency bypass capacitor from VIN to GND as close as possible to the pin. |
| 3 | EN | input | Enable input with internal 1µA pull-up current source (3.6µA once above threshold). Pull below 1.2V to disable the converter; float or tie to VIN to enable. A VIN-to-GND resistor divider on EN sets a programmable input UVLO threshold. High-voltage tolerant to 65V. |
| 4 | RT/CLK | bidirectional | Sets internal oscillator frequency or accepts an external synchronization clock. A resistor from RT/CLK to GND sets fSW from 100kHz to 1.2MHz (RT(kΩ) = 100000/fSW(kHz), typical pin voltage 0.5V). Alternatively, drive an external clock (100kHz-1.2MHz, high ≥2V, low ≤0.4V, pulse width >80ns) directly into RT/CLK; internal PLL locks to it. On loss of clock, reverts to resistor-set frequency. |
| 5 | FB | input | Inverting input of the transconductance error amplifier. Connect the tap of an external feedback resistor divider from VOUT to GND. Device regulates FB to the internal 0.8V ±1% reference. OVP triggers at 110% of VREF (rising), releases at 105% (falling). |
| 6 | COMP | output | Error amplifier output. Connect an external frequency compensation network (R-C) to GND to shape the control loop. Typical clamps: high 2.25V, low 0.47V. Transconductance gm ≈ 300µS, ±30µA source/sink. |
| 7 | GND | power_in | Ground return for the device. Electrically connected to the exposed thermal pad. |
| 8 | SW | output | Regulator switching output - source of the integrated 80mΩ high-side MOSFET. Connect to the external power inductor and to the external low-side (catch) Schottky diode. Absolute max -1V to 65V. Also serves as the BOOT capacitor return. |
| 9 | Thermal Pad | passive | Exposed thermal pad on the underside of the ESOP-8 package. Heat-dissipation path of the die; electrically connected to the GND pin. Must be soldered to a ground copper plane on the PCB for proper operation and optimized thermal performance (θJA ≈ 42°C/W). |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 576 faces against 63 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.
