MAX17503ATP+T from Analog Devices Inc Maxim Integrated, in a TQFN-20-EP(4x4). 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 VIN power_in Power-supply input with a 4.5V to 60V input supply range; connect the VIN pins together and decouple to PGND with a 2.2µF capacitor placed close to the VIN and PGND pins.
2 VIN power_in Power-supply input with a 4.5V to 60V input supply range; connect together with the other VIN pins and decouple to PGND with a 2.2µF capacitor placed close to the VIN and PGND pins.
3 VIN power_in Power-supply input with a 4.5V to 60V input supply range; connect together with the other VIN pins and decouple to PGND with a 2.2µF capacitor placed close to the VIN and PGND pins.
4 EN/UVLO input Enable/undervoltage lockout: drive high to enable the output, connect to the center of a VIN-to-SGND resistor divider to set the turn-on input voltage, or pull up to VIN for always-on operation.
5 RESET output Open-drain RESET output that is driven low if FB drops below 92% of its set value and goes high 1024 clock cycles after FB rises above 95% of its set value.
6 SYNC input External clock synchronization input that synchronizes the device switching frequency to an external clock, as described in the External Frequency Synchronization (SYNC) section.
7 SS input Soft-start input; connect a capacitor from SS to SGND to set the soft-start time.
8 CF passive Connect a capacitor from CF to FB at switching frequencies below 500kHz, and leave CF open for switching frequencies of 500kHz or higher.
9 FB input Feedback input; connect to the center tap of an external resistor divider from the output to GND to set the output voltage.
10 RT passive Connect a resistor from RT to SGND to set the switching frequency; leave RT open for the default 500kHz frequency.
11 MODE input Mode select latched at power-up: leave open for PFM, connect to SGND for constant-frequency PWM at all loads, or connect to VCC for constant-frequency DCM at light loads.
12 VCC power_out 5V LDO output that must be bypassed to SGND with 2.2µF ceramic capacitance.
13 SGND power_in Analog ground; the SGND and PGND pins are connected together at the ground return path of the VCC bypass capacitor.
14 PGND power_in Power ground; connect externally to the power ground plane and tie to SGND at the return path of the VCC bypass capacitor.
15 PGND power_in Power ground; connect externally to the power ground plane and tie to SGND at the return path of the VCC bypass capacitor.
16 PGND power_in Power ground; connect externally to the power ground plane and tie to SGND at the return path of the VCC bypass capacitor.
17 LX output Switching node connected to the switching side of the inductor; the datasheet specifies LX total RMS current of ±4A absolute maximum.
18 LX output Switching node connected to the switching side of the inductor; connect all LX pins to the inductor switching side.
19 LX output Switching node connected to the switching side of the inductor; connect all LX pins to the inductor switching side.
20 BST passive Boost flying capacitor pin; connect a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between BST and LX.
21 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
