MCP3911A0-E from Microchip Tech, in a QFN-20(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 CH0+ input Noninverting analog input for Channel 0; linear range is ±600 mV/GAIN with VREF = 1.2V, and absolute input is ±1V with no distortion (±2V without damage) relative to AGND.
2 CH0- input Inverting analog input for Channel 0; linear range is ±600 mV/GAIN with VREF = 1.2V, and absolute input is ±1V with no distortion (±2V without damage) relative to AGND.
3 CH1- input Inverting analog input for Channel 1; linear range is ±600 mV/GAIN with VREF = 1.2V, and absolute input is ±1V with no distortion (±2V without damage) relative to AGND.
4 CH1+ input Noninverting analog input for Channel 1; linear range is ±600 mV/GAIN with VREF = 1.2V, and absolute input is ±1V with no distortion (±2V without damage) relative to AGND.
5 AGND power_in Analog ground, return path for internal analog circuitry; must be connected to the same ground as DGND, preferably with a star connection.
6 REFIN+/OUT bidirectional Noninverting voltage reference input (external reference when VREFEXT = 1) and internal reference output (when VREFEXT = 0) with minimal drive capability, where a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor is sufficient.
7 REFIN- input Inverting voltage reference input, connected to the external VREF- for a differential reference or directly to AGND for a single-ended or internal reference.
8 DGND power_in Digital ground, return path for internal digital circuitry; must be connected to the same ground as AGND, preferably with a star connection.
9 MDAT1 tri_state Modulator data output for Channel 1, high-impedance when its MODOUT bit is low and otherwise updated at the AMCLK frequency.
10 MDAT0 tri_state Modulator data output for Channel 0, high-impedance when its MODOUT bit is low and otherwise updated at the AMCLK frequency.
11 DR tri_state Active-low data ready pulse output, high-impedance when DR_HIZ = 0 (default) or driven high when DR_HIZ = 1; a 100 kΩ pull-up to DVDD is recommended when DR_HIZ = 0.
12 OSC1/CLKI input Oscillator crystal connection or external clock input.
13 OSC2 passive Oscillator crystal connection.
14 CS input Serial interface chip select input.
15 SCK input Serial interface clock input (SPI up to 20 MHz).
16 SDO output Serial interface data output (the pin table misprints it as 'Data Input').
17 SDI input Serial interface data input.
18 RESET input Active-low Schmitt-triggered master reset input that resets all registers to default and blocks communication while at DGND.
19 DVDD power_in Digital power supply, to be maintained between 2.7V and 3.6V with appropriate bypass capacitors.
20 AVDD power_in Analog power supply, to be maintained between 2.7V and 3.6V with appropriate bypass capacitors.
21 EP passive Exposed thermal pad, must be connected to AGND or left floating.
