LM20144MHE from Texas Instruments, in a HTSSOP-16-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 | SS/TRK | input | Soft-start or tracking input: an internal 5 µA source charges the external capacitor to set the ramp rate, an external source below 800 mV overrides the internal reference, and leaving it open gives an internal 1 ms soft-start. |
| 2 | FB | input | Feedback input to the inverting input of the internal transconductance error amplifier, which regulates against the 800 mV reference. |
| 3 | PGOOD | output | Open-drain power-good output indicating the output is regulating within tolerance; a 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ pull-up resistor is recommended. |
| 4 | COMP | passive | External compensation pin; a resistor and capacitor connected to this pin compensate the device. |
| 5 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection; the pin may be left open, but it is strongly recommended to connect it to ground. |
| 6 | PVIN | power_in | Input voltage to the internal power switches, specified at 2.95 V to 5.5 V; connect PVIN pins together at the device with a low-ESR capacitor placed nearby. |
| 7 | PVIN | power_in | Input voltage to the internal power switches, specified at 2.95 V to 5.5 V; connect PVIN pins together at the device with a low-ESR capacitor placed nearby. |
| 8 | SW | output | PWM switch node output of the internal power switches, connected to the inductor. |
| 9 | SW | output | PWM switch node output of the internal power switches, connected to the inductor. |
| 10 | PGND | power_in | Power ground for the internal power switches. |
| 11 | PGND | power_in | Power ground for the internal power switches. |
| 12 | EN | input | Precision enable input with hysteresis; an external voltage divider sets the turn-on threshold, and if unused it should be connected to PVIN. |
| 13 | VCC | power_out | Output of the internal 2.7 V sub-regulator, to be bypassed with a 1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 14 | AVIN | power_in | Analog input supply (2.95 V to 5.5 V) that generates the internal bias; it must be connected to VIN through a low-pass RC filter. |
| 15 | AGND | power_in | Quiet analog ground for the internal bias circuitry. |
| 16 | RT | passive | Frequency adjust pin; a resistor from this pin to ground sets the oscillator frequency between 500 kHz and 1.5 MHz. |
| 17 | EP | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
