A80601KESJSR from Allegro MicroSystems, LLC, in a QFN-24-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 FAULT output Open-drain output that is pulled low when a fault occurs; connect a pull-up resistor between this pin and the desired logic-level voltage.
2 VDD power_out Output of the internal LDO bias regulator, regulated at ~4.25 V; connect a 1 µF decoupling capacitor between this pin and AGND.
3 AGND power_in LED current ground that also serves as the quiet ground for analog signals.
4 COMP passive Output of the error amplifier and loop compensation node; connect a series RZ-CZ network from this pin to AGND.
5 ISET passive Connect the RISET resistor between this pin and AGND to set the 100% LED current.
6 PEB input Pre-Emptive Boost control; a resistor from this pin to AGND fine-tunes the delay between boost switch and LED current sinks, and leaving it open gives the minimum PEB delay of 1 µs.
7 DITH passive Connect a capacitor to AGND to set the dithering modulation frequency (1 to 22 kHz), and a resistor to FSET to set the dithering range (such as ±5% of fSW).
8 FSET input A resistor from this pin to AGND sets the switching frequency between 200 kHz and 2.3 MHz, or the pin can synchronize fSW to an external frequency between 260 kHz and 2.3 MHz (dithering then disabled).
9 ADIM input Analog dimming input accepting a PWM clock of 40 to 1000 kHz or a DC level of 0.2 to 2 V for 10% to 100% LED current; pull above 2 V for 100% if unused.
10 PWM input Controls the on/off state of the LED current sinks for PWM dimming, with a typical dimming frequency of 200 Hz to 2 kHz.
11 EN input Enables the IC when pulled high; if pulled low the IC remains in standby for up to 16 ms and then shuts down completely.
12 CLKOUT output Logic output representing the boost oscillator switching frequency, active as long as the IC is enabled.
13 LED4 passive LED current sink #4; connect the cathode of the LED string to this pin, and terminate an unused pin to AGND through 2.37 kΩ.
14 LED3 passive LED current sink #3; connect the cathode of the LED string to this pin, and terminate an unused pin to AGND through 2.37 kΩ.
15 LED2 passive LED current sink #2; connect the cathode of the LED string to this pin, and terminate an unused pin to AGND through 2.37 kΩ.
16 LED1 passive LED current sink #1; connect the cathode of the LED string to this pin, and terminate an unused pin to AGND through 2.37 kΩ.
17 OVP passive Overvoltage protection pin; an external resistor from VOUT to this pin sets the overvoltage protection threshold.
18 PGND power_in Power ground for the internal gate driver; connect with the shortest path to the external power GND.
19 VDRV power_out Gate driver supply voltage (~6.5 V); connect a 2.2 µF MLCC to PGND for buffering.
20 CS input Current sense for peak current control of the power switch; connect to the sense resistor at the source terminal of the external power MOSFET.
21 GDRV output Gate driver for the external power switch, connected to the MOSFET gate; the external FET must be fully enhanced at VGS = 5 V.
22 GATE output Gate driver output for the external P-channel input disconnect MOSFET.
23 VSENSE input Connect to the negative sense side of the input current sense resistor RSC; the threshold is VIN - VSENSE, with a fixed iADJ current sink for trip threshold adjustment.
24 VIN power_in Input power to the IC and the positive side of the input current sense resistor; operating input voltage range is 4.5 to 40 V.
25 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
