TCA9517ADGKR 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 | VCCA | power_in | A-side supply voltage (0.9V to 5.5V). Used only to generate the 0.3xVCCA reference for the A-side input comparators and the power-good-detect; device logic and I/Os are powered by VCCB. |
| 2 | SCLA | bidirectional | Serial clock bus, A-side (low-voltage side). Open-drain; connect to VCCA through a pull-up resistor. If unused, tie directly to ground. |
| 3 | SDAA | bidirectional | Serial data bus, A-side (low-voltage side). Open-drain; connect to VCCA through a pull-up resistor. If unused, tie directly to ground. |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Device ground reference. |
| 5 | EN | input | Active-high repeater enable input. Logic thresholds referenced to VCCB (VIH >= 0.7xVCCB, VIL <= 0.3xVCCB); 5.5V tolerant. |
| 6 | SDAB | bidirectional | Serial data bus, B-side (high-voltage side, 2.7V-5.5V). Open-drain; connect to VCCB through a pull-up resistor. If unused, tie directly to ground. |
| 7 | SCLB | bidirectional | Serial clock bus, B-side (high-voltage side, 2.7V-5.5V). Open-drain; connect to VCCB through a pull-up resistor. If unused, tie directly to ground. |
| 8 | VCCB | power_in | B-side and device supply voltage (2.7V to 5.5V). Powers all internal logic and I/Os; the B-side pull-ups and EN input thresholds are referenced to this rail. |

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:
| File | Size | Use it when |
|---|---|---|

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 540 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.
