L6599DTR from STMicroelectronics, in a SOIC-16. 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 CSS passive Soft-start pin. External capacitor to GND and resistor to RFmin (pin 4) set the maximum oscillator frequency and the frequency-shift time constant during start-up. Internally discharged whenever the chip turns OFF (VCC<UVLO, LINE<1.25V or >6V, DIS>1.85V, ISEN>1.5V, DELAY>3.5V) and while ISEN exceeds 0.8V (down to 0.75V) so the part always soft-starts.
2 DELAY passive Delayed shutdown upon overcurrent. External RC to GND sets the maximum duration of an OCP condition (charged by an internal 150 uA current source when ISEN>0.8V) and the restart delay. IC stops switching once the pin reaches 3.5V and re-enables when the voltage falls below 0.3V, yielding hiccup-mode short-circuit protection.
3 CF passive Timing capacitor. Charged/discharged by internal current sources programmed by the RFmin network to set the converter switching frequency.
4 RFmin passive Minimum oscillator frequency setting. Provides a precise 2 V reference; the resistor to GND sets the minimum oscillator frequency. The optocoupler phototransistor is coupled here through a resistor to modulate the operating frequency (feedback), and an RC series to GND sets the soft-start frequency shift.
5 STBY input Burst-mode operation threshold. Compared to an internal 1.25 V reference with 50 mV hysteresis; when the feedback-related voltage falls below the reference, the IC enters idle (burst) mode and drops to reduced quiescent current. Tie to RFmin if burst-mode is not used.
6 ISEN input Current-sense input for two-level OCP. Above the 0.8 V threshold (50 mV hysteresis) the soft-start cap is discharged, shifting the switching frequency up to limit power. A second 1.5 V comparator latches the device off (near-zero consumption) if the current keeps rising; latch clears when VCC drops below UVLO. Tie to GND if unused.
7 LINE input Line-sensing input for AC/DC brownout protection. Below 1.25 V the IC shuts down (not latched), consumption drops and the soft-start cap discharges; operation re-enables above 1.25 V. Internal 15 uA current source provides hysteresis while pin is below 1.25 V. An internal zener top-limits the pin; triggering it latches the IC OFF. Bias between 1.25 V and 6 V if unused; bypass to GND for noise immunity.
8 DIS input Latched device shutdown. When the pin exceeds 1.85 V the IC is latched OFF at near-zero consumption; latch cleared only by recycling VCC below UVLO. Enables easy OTP/OVP implementation. Tie to GND if unused.
9 PFC_STOP output Open-drain ON/OFF control for the upstream PFC controller. Pulled low when the IC is shut down (DIS>1.85V, ISEN>1.5V, LINE>6V, STBY<1.25V or DELAY>2V) and re-opens after DELAY falls below 0.3V. Open during UVLO. Leave unconnected if unused.
10 GND power_in Chip signal/low-side driver ground. All bias-component grounds should return here on a dedicated track kept separate from any pulsed current return.
11 LVG output Low-side gate-drive output for the half-bridge lower MOSFET. Capable of 0.3 A min source / 0.8 A min sink peak current; actively pulled to GND during UVLO.
12 VCC power_in Supply voltage for the signal section and the low-side gate driver. Operating range 8.85-16 V, turn-ON ~10.7 V, turn-OFF ~8.15 V, VCC clamp ~17 V. A small (0.1 uF typ.) bypass to GND may be useful to keep clean bias for the signal section.
13 N.C. unconnected High-voltage spacer. Not internally connected; isolates the high-voltage pins and eases PCB creepage/safety compliance.
14 OUT power_in High-side gate-drive floating ground and current return for the high-side driver. Rated -3 V to VBOOT-18 V; connects to the half-bridge switching node. Route carefully to avoid large negative spikes.
15 HVG output High-side floating gate-drive output for the half-bridge upper MOSFET. Capable of 0.3 A min source / 0.8 A min sink peak current. An internal resistor to OUT (pin 14) keeps the pin from floating during UVLO.
16 VBOOT power_in High-side gate-drive floating supply. Bootstrap capacitor between VBOOT and OUT (pin 14) is refreshed by an internal synchronous bootstrap DMOS driven in phase with the low-side driver, replacing the external fast-recovery diode. Floating supply rated up to 618 V (max), tested to 580 V leakage.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 560 faces against 267 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
