TX4121 from XDS, 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 | BST | passive | Bootstrap driver pin for the high-side MOSFET gate drive. Connect a 0.1 µF (or larger) ceramic capacitor between BST and SW to develop the high-side gate drive rail. |
| 2 | VDD | power_in | Chip power / converter input supply. Operating range 6.5V to 36V, absolute max 36V. Bypass locally to GND with low-ESR ceramic input capacitors. |
| 3 | SW | power_out | Switching node output - drain junction of the internal high-side and low-side power MOSFETs. Connect to the external inductor. Delivers up to 3.1 A continuous. |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Device ground / power return. Tie to the ground plane together with the EP thermal pad for best thermal and electrical performance. |
| 5 | FB | input | Feedback sense input for the output voltage divider. Regulated to VFB = 0.9 V typical; output OVP threshold VFB_OVP = 0.99 V. Absolute max −0.3 V to 6 V. |
| 6 | COMP | output | Error amplifier output / loop compensation node. Connect an R-C (and optional second C) network from COMP to GND to shape the control-loop response. Source ~5.2 µA, sink ~3.2 µA. |
| 7 | EN | input | Enable input, active-high, with an internal high-value pull-up (~1.6 µA input current). VIH ≥ 1.2 V, VIL ≤ 1.1 V. Absolute max −0.3 V to 6 V. Leave floating or tie high to enable; pull to GND to shut down. |
| 8 | SST | input | Programmable soft-start input. Connect a capacitor from SST to GND; the pin is charged by an internal ~2.3 µA source, ramping the internal reference to control output-voltage rise time and inrush current. Absolute max −0.3 V to 6 V. |
| 9 | EP | passive | Exposed thermal pad on the bottom of the ESOP-8 package. Solder to a large copper ground pour for heat sinking; electrically tie to GND (pin 4). θJA ≈ 56 °C/W, θJC ≈ 45 °C/W. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 236 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.
