A8522KLPTR-T from Allegro MicroSystems, LLC, in a TSSOP-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 GATE output Gate driver for an optional external PMOS input-disconnect switch, pulled high to turn off the input supply on a fault such as output shorted to GND; left open if not used.
2 INS input Input current sense used together with VIN to detect input overcurrent faults; tie to VIN if not used.
3 VIN power_in Input power to the A8522, specified over an input voltage range of 4.5 to 36 V.
4 EN input Enable input that keeps the IC in shutdown while EN = VEN(L) and enables the part when connected to VEN(H) or to VIN.
5 FSET/SYNC bidirectional A resistor RFSET from this pin to GND sets the switching frequency, and the pin can also be used to synchronize to an external switching frequency.
6 COMP passive Output of the error amplifier and compensation node; connect a type-2 feedback network from this pin to AGND for loop compensation.
7 AGND power_in Analog ground for noise-sensitive components, especially COMP, and connected to the thermal pad.
8 VDD power_out Output of the internal LDO; connect a 0.47 µF decoupling capacitor between this pin and AGND.
9 FLAG output Active-low open-drain pin indicating that system attention is required, such as during startup or a fault; connect a 10 to 100 kΩ pull-up to the target logic level.
10 LED1 passive LED current sink channel 1, up to 60 mA; any unused LEDx pin should be connected to GND through a 4.7 kΩ resistor.
11 LED2 passive LED current sink channel 2, up to 60 mA; any unused LEDx pin should be connected to GND through a 4.7 kΩ resistor.
12 LED3 passive LED current sink channel 3, up to 60 mA; any unused LEDx pin should be connected to GND through a 4.7 kΩ resistor.
13 LED4 passive LED current sink channel 4, up to 60 mA; any unused LEDx pin should be connected to GND through a 4.7 kΩ resistor.
14 LED5 passive LED current sink channel 5, up to 60 mA; any unused LEDx pin should be connected to GND through a 4.7 kΩ resistor.
15 AGND power_in Analog ground for noise-sensitive components, especially COMP, and connected to the thermal pad.
16 LED6 passive LED current sink channel 6, up to 60 mA; any unused LEDx pin should be connected to GND through a 4.7 kΩ resistor.
17 LED7 passive LED current sink channel 7, up to 60 mA; any unused LEDx pin should be connected to GND through a 4.7 kΩ resistor.
18 LED8 passive LED current sink channel 8, up to 60 mA; any unused LEDx pin should be connected to GND through a 4.7 kΩ resistor.
19 NC unconnected No connect; terminate to GND through a 4.7 kΩ resistor and do not short directly to GND.
20 NC unconnected No connect; terminate to GND through a 4.7 kΩ resistor and do not short directly to GND.
21 GPO2 output General purpose open-drain output 2, programmable by internal register.
22 GPO1 output General purpose open-drain output 1, programmable by internal register.
23 SDA bidirectional I2C data signal.
24 SCL input I2C clock signal.
25 ADDR input Four-level input that sets up to 4 physical IC addresses based on the voltage level set by a resistor to GND.
26 PGND power_in Power ground for the internal NMOS switching device; connect to the output capacitor ground and to the thermal pad.
27 OVP input Connect to output voltage VOUT to provide output overvoltage protection (OVP) and undervoltage protection (UVP).
28 SW passive Drain of the internal NMOS switch of the boost converter.
29 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
