KP1221SPA from Kiwi Instruments, in a SOP-7. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 COMP input Constant-current output loop compensation pin. A 1-4.7 uF ceramic capacitor in series with a resistor should be connected to the chip's reference ground; the series resistor sets the over-current protection threshold (ROCP = 0 → VOCP ≈ 0.9V; 0.68kΩ → 1.2V; 2kΩ → 1.4V). Internal high/low clamp: 3V / 0.7V.
2 GND power_in Chip reference ground. Return for all internal circuitry and the reference for COMP, VDD, ROVP, and Source pins.
3 VDD power_in Chip supply pin. Normal operating voltage typ. 11.5V (10.5-13V), UVLO turn-off ≈ 8.5V, internal clamp 14V (at 5 mA). Startup current 300 uA typ; operating current 200 uA typ at Fsw = 7 kHz. Absolute max VDD = 14V.
4 ROVP input Output open-circuit (OVP) protection voltage setting pin. A resistor divider from the output feedback sets the OVP threshold; absolute max voltage -0.3 to 7V.
5 Drain power_in Drain of the internal 500V high-voltage MOSFET (Rdson ≈ 5.3 Ω for KP1221SP). Also used for HV startup charging (IHV = 10 mA at Drain = 20V). Absolute max Drain voltage -0.3 to 500V. Pin 5 is bonded together with pin 6 to the same Drain node.
6 Drain power_in Second Drain pin of the internal high-voltage MOSFET, bonded in parallel with pin 5 to improve current handling and thermal dissipation. Same electrical node as pin 5.
7 Source output Source of the internal high-voltage MOSFET; used both as switch source and current-sense node. Current-sense reference VCC_REF = 400 mV typ; min sense voltage 70 mV typ; LEB = 300 ns. Absolute max Source voltage -0.3 to 7V.
