MCP73871-2AAI from Microchip Tech, in a QFN-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 OUT power_out System output terminal that powers the system load while the battery charges independently; bypass to VSS with a minimum of 4.7 µF.
2 VPCC input Voltage proportional charge control input; supply 1.23V or greater to enable, or connect to IN to disable the feature.
3 SEL input Input type selection: Low for USB port, High for AC-DC adapter.
4 PROG2 input USB port input current limit selection when SEL = Low (Low = 100 mA, High = 500 mA).
5 THERM bidirectional Thermistor monitoring input and bias current for battery cell temperature monitoring.
6 PG output Open-drain Power-Good status output, low when the input is above the UVLO threshold and greater than the battery voltage.
7 STAT2 output Open-drain charge status output 2 for driving an LED or a pull-up to a host microcontroller.
8 STAT1/LBO output Open-drain charge status output 1, also low battery output indicator when VBAT > VIN.
9 TE input Timer enable; enables the safety timer when active Low.
10 VSS power_in Battery management 0V reference; connect to negative terminal of the battery, system load and input supply.
11 VSS power_in Battery management 0V reference; connect to negative terminal of the battery, system load and input supply.
12 PROG3 bidirectional Termination set point for both AC-DC adapter and USB port.
13 PROG1 bidirectional Fast charge current regulation setting (resistor to VSS) with SEL = High, and preconditioning set point for both USB port and AC-DC adapter.
14 VBAT power_in Battery positive input and output connection; bypass to VSS with a minimum of 4.7 µF.
15 VBAT power_in Battery positive input and output connection; bypass to VSS with a minimum of 4.7 µF.
16 VBAT_SENSE bidirectional Battery voltage sense; connect to battery positive terminal, final voltage regulated to VREG.
17 CE input Device charge enable; enabled when CE = High.
18 IN power_in Power supply input; VREG + 0.3V to 6V recommended, bypass to VSS with a minimum of 4.7 µF.
19 IN power_in Power supply input; VREG + 0.3V to 6V recommended, bypass to VSS with a minimum of 4.7 µF.
20 OUT power_out System output terminal that powers the system load while the battery charges independently; bypass to VSS with a minimum of 4.7 µF.
21 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
