DRV8434EPWPR from Texas Instruments, in a HTSSOP-28-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 VCP power_out Charge pump output; connect a X7R, 0.22-μF, 16-V ceramic capacitor to VM.
2 VM power_in Power supply for the motor supply voltage; bypass to PGND with two 0.01-μF ceramic capacitors (one per pin) plus a bulk capacitor rated for VM.
3 PGND power_in Power ground; connect to system ground.
4 AOUT1 output Winding A output; connect to motor winding.
5 AOUT1 output Winding A output; connect to motor winding.
6 AOUT2 output Winding A output; connect to motor winding.
7 AOUT2 output Winding A output; connect to motor winding.
8 BOUT2 output Winding B output; connect to motor winding.
9 BOUT2 output Winding B output; connect to motor winding.
10 BOUT1 output Winding B output; connect to motor winding.
11 BOUT1 output Winding B output; connect to motor winding.
12 PGND power_in Power ground; connect to system ground.
13 VM power_in Power supply for the motor supply voltage; bypass to PGND with two 0.01-μF ceramic capacitors (one per pin) plus a bulk capacitor rated for VM.
14 GND power_in Device ground; connect to system ground.
15 DVDD power_in Logic supply voltage; connect a X7R, 0.47-μF to 1-μF, 6.3-V or 10-V rated ceramic capacitor to GND.
16 nFAULT output Fault indication open-drain output, pulled logic low during a fault condition and requiring an external pullup resistor.
17 VREFB input Reference voltage input; the voltage on this pin sets the full-scale chopping current in H-bridge B.
18 VREFA input Reference voltage input; the voltage on this pin sets the full-scale chopping current in H-bridge A.
19 TOFF input Quad-level pin that sets the decay mode off-time during current chopping.
20 BDECAY input Quad-level decay mode setting pin for bridge B.
21 ADECAY input Quad-level decay mode setting pin for bridge A.
22 BPH input Bridge B phase input; logic high drives current from BOUT1 to BOUT2.
23 BEN input Bridge B enable input; logic high enables bridge B and logic low disables the bridge to Hi-Z.
24 APH input Bridge A phase input; logic high drives current from AOUT1 to AOUT2.
25 AEN input Bridge A enable input; logic high enables bridge A and logic low disables the bridge to Hi-Z.
26 nSLEEP input Sleep mode input; logic high enables the device and logic low enters low-power sleep mode, with an internal pulldown resistor and an nSLEEP low pulse clearing faults.
27 CPL passive Charge pump switching node; connect a X7R, 0.022-μF, VM-rated ceramic capacitor from CPH to CPL.
28 CPH passive Charge pump switching node; connect a X7R, 0.022-μF, VM-rated ceramic capacitor from CPH to CPL.
29 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
