LT3973EDD-3.3#PBF from Analog Devices, in a DFN-10-EP(3x3). 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 VOUT input For the LT3973-3.3 this pin is VOUT, which the internal feedback divider regulates to 3.3V and which connects to the fixed-output feedback divider.
2 OUT input OUT supplies dropout regulation between VIN and VOUT and pulls current to charge the boost capacitor, and must be tied to the output, or to GND if the programmed output is greater than 14V.
3 EN/UVLO input The part is in shutdown when EN/UVLO is low and active when high, with a threshold of 1.19V rising and 30mV hysteresis, and it is accurate only when VIN is above 4.2V.
4 VIN power_in VIN supplies the internal circuitry and power switch, must be locally bypassed, and has an absolute maximum of 42V.
5 GND power_in GND is the ground reference pin and must be connected to the exposed pad, which must be soldered to the PCB.
6 SW output SW is the output of the internal power switch and connects to the inductor.
7 BOOST passive BOOST provides a drive voltage higher than VIN to the internal NPN power switch and is limited to 55V absolute maximum.
8 BD power_in BD connects to the anode of the boost diode, supplies the internal regulator when above 3.2V, and has an absolute maximum of 25V.
9 PG output PG is the open-drain power good output that stays low until FB/VOUT is within 10% of the regulation voltage and is valid when VIN is above 4.2V and EN/UVLO is high.
10 RT passive A resistor from RT to ground sets the switching frequency, with the oscillator range stated as 200kHz to 2.2MHz.
11 GND power_in The exposed pad is ground and must be soldered to the PCB for thermal and electrical connection.
