A4955KLPTR-T from Allegro MicroSystems, LLC, in a HTSSOP-20-EP. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 GND power_in Ground terminal for the device.
2 AIOUT output Analog output proportional to VSENSE, with AIOUT/VSENSE gain of 9 to 11 V/V (10 typical) for VSENSE = 50 to 200 mV.
3 OCLn output Overcurrent and overvoltage flag, open-drain output driven low during current limiting or a VDS fault, with output voltage of 0.3 V max at 2 mA when overcurrent is detected.
4 VREF power_in Analog overcurrent-protection reference input with a range of 0 to 2.5 V.
5 IN2 input Digital logic input IN2 with VIH minimum 2.0 V, VIL maximum 0.8 V, and internal pull-down of 30 to 70 kΩ.
6 IN1 input Digital logic input IN1 with VIH minimum 2.0 V, VIL maximum 0.8 V, and internal pull-down of 30 to 70 kΩ.
7 RC passive Terminal to set blank-time and off-time through a resistor and capacitor to ground, with RRC of 12 to 100 kΩ and CRC of 470 to 1500 pF.
8 ISET passive Terminal to set gate drive current through a resistor to ground, which should be between 15 and 150 kΩ.
9 SLEEPn input Active-low sleep input, with VIL(SLEEPn) maximum of 0.4 V; driving it low activates standby mode.
10 SENSE passive Sense resistor connection and low-side gate return, with absolute maximum range of -0.5 to 0.5 V (-4 to 4 V for tW < 500 ns).
11 GLB output Low-side gate drive output for the B-side external MOSFET, with VGL of 6.5 to 7.5 V (6.8 V typical) at VBB = 8 to 50 V.
12 GLA output Low-side gate drive output for the A-side external MOSFET, with VGL of 6.5 to 7.5 V (6.8 V typical) at VBB = 8 to 50 V.
13 GHB output High-side gate drive output for the B-side external MOSFET, with VGH of 6.5 to 7.5 V relative to VBB at VBB = 8 to 50 V.
14 SB passive High-side bridge reference for the B half-bridge; the absolute rating for VSx - VSENSE is -2 to 52 V.
15 GHA output High-side gate drive output for the A-side external MOSFET, with VGH of 6.5 to 7.5 V relative to VBB at VBB = 8 to 50 V.
16 SA passive High-side bridge reference for the A half-bridge; the absolute rating for VSx - VSENSE is -2 to 52 V.
17 VCP power_out Charge pump reservoir capacitor connection, which is internally monitored, with outputs disabled on a VCP fault.
18 CP2 passive Charge pump terminal.
19 VBB power_in Load supply voltage with absolute maximum of 50 V and UVLO enable threshold of 5.10 to 5.40 V (VBB rising).
20 CP1 passive Charge pump terminal.
21 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).

  • Symbol: A4955KLPTR-T
  • Footprint: Package_SO:TSSOP-20-1EP_4.4x6.5mm_P0.65mm_EP2.15x3.35mm
  • 3D model: HTSSOP-20-EP, generated from the KiCad footprint (body from the F.Fab outline, terminals on the pads, 1.2 mm nominal TSSOP height). Neither the vendor nor KiCad ships a 3D model for this package, so the dimensions are nominal, not the manufacturer's CAD (STEP)
  • 3D model files: a4955klptr-t-etched.step / a4955klptr-t-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); a4955klptr-t.step / a4955klptr-t.glb are the bare package body.
