TPS54618QRTERQ1 from Texas Instruments, in a WQFN-16-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 VIN power_in Input supply voltage, 2.95 V to 6 V.
2 VIN power_in Input supply voltage, 2.95 V to 6 V.
3 GND power_in Power ground, to be electrically connected directly to the power pad under the device.
4 GND power_in Power ground, to be electrically connected directly to the power pad under the device.
5 AGND power_in Analog ground, to be electrically connected to GND close to the device.
6 VSENSE input Inverting node of the transconductance (gm) error amplifier.
7 COMP output Error amplifier output and input to the output switch current comparator; connect frequency compensation components to this pin.
8 RT/CLK bidirectional Resistor timing or external clock input pin.
9 SS/TR bidirectional Slow-start and tracking pin; an external capacitor sets the output voltage rise time, and the pin can also be used for tracking.
10 PH output Source of the internal high-side power MOSFET and drain of the internal low-side (synchronous) rectifier MOSFET.
11 PH output Source of the internal high-side power MOSFET and drain of the internal low-side (synchronous) rectifier MOSFET.
12 PH output Source of the internal high-side power MOSFET and drain of the internal low-side (synchronous) rectifier MOSFET.
13 BOOT passive Bootstrap capacitor connection required between BOOT and PH; output is forced off if the capacitor voltage is below the BOOT UVLO minimum.
14 PWRGD output Open-drain output that asserts low if output voltage is low due to thermal shutdown, overcurrent, over/undervoltage or EN shutdown.
15 EN input Enable pin with internal pullup current source; pull below 1.2 V to disable, float to enable, and use two resistors to adjust the UVLO threshold.
16 VIN power_in Input supply voltage, 2.95 V to 6 V.
17 Thermal Pad passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
