TPS65252RHDR from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-28-EP(5x5). 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 ROSC input Oscillator set. External resistor from ROSC to GND programs the internal switching-frequency oscillator between 300 kHz and 2.2 MHz (RFSW ≈ 50-600 kΩ).
2 FB1 input Feedback pin for buck converter 1. Connect a resistor divider from VOUT1 to FB1 to GND to set the output to VFB = 0.8 V.
3 COMP1 output Compensation pin for buck 1. Attach a series RC network to GND to complete the error-amplifier compensation of converter 1.
4 SS1 input Soft-start pin for buck 1. A small ceramic capacitor to GND sets the soft-start time (charged by ISS ≈ 5 µA).
5 RLIM1 input Cycle-by-cycle current-limit setting for buck 1. Resistor from RLIM1 to GND (75-300 kΩ) sets peak inductor current limit (1.1-5.2 A).
6 EN1 input Enable pin for buck 1. Logic-high enables the regulator (VIH ≈ 1.55-1.82 V, VIL ≈ 0.98-1.24 V). A capacitor to GND provides delayed start-up; internal ICHEN ≈ 1.1 µA pull-up.
7 BST1 input Bootstrap capacitor for buck 1. Fit a 47-nF ceramic capacitor between BST1 and LX1 to supply the high-side FET gate drive. Absolute max 7 V referenced to LX1.
8 VIN1 power_in Input supply for buck converter 1 (4.5 V to 16 V). Fit a 10-µF ceramic capacitor close to this pin.
9 LX1 output Switching node for buck converter 1 (pin 9 of the paralleled LX1 pair). Connect to the buck 1 output inductor. Absolute max -0.3 to 18 V; transient -3 to 18 V for <20 ns.
10 LX1 output Switching node for buck converter 1 (paralleled with pin 9). Tie both LX1 pins together on the board.
11 LX2 output Switching node for buck converter 2 (pin 11 of the paralleled LX2 pair). Connect to the buck 2 output inductor. Absolute max -0.3 to 18 V; transient -3 to 18 V for <20 ns.
12 LX2 output Switching node for buck converter 2 (paralleled with pin 11). Tie both LX2 pins together on the board.
13 VIN2 power_in Input supply for buck converter 2 (4.5 V to 16 V). Fit a 10-µF ceramic capacitor close to this pin.
14 BST2 input Bootstrap capacitor for buck 2. Fit a 47-nF ceramic capacitor between BST2 and LX2 to supply the high-side FET gate drive. Absolute max 7 V referenced to LX2.
15 EN2 input Enable pin for buck 2. Logic-high enables the regulator (VIH ≈ 1.55-1.82 V, VIL ≈ 0.98-1.24 V). A capacitor to GND provides delayed start-up for sequencing.
16 RLIM2 input Cycle-by-cycle current-limit setting for buck 2. Resistor from RLIM2 to GND (75-300 kΩ) sets peak inductor current limit (0.9-4.5 A).
17 SS2 input Soft-start pin for buck 2. A small ceramic capacitor to GND sets the soft-start time (charged by ISS ≈ 5 µA).
18 COMP2 output Compensation pin for buck 2. Attach a series RC network to GND to complete the error-amplifier compensation of converter 2.
19 FB2 input Feedback pin for buck converter 2. Connect a resistor divider from VOUT2 to FB2 to GND to set the output to VFB = 0.8 V.
20 LOW_P input Low-power operation-mode input for the TPS65252 (active high). Drive high to place the part in low-quiescent mode (IDDQ ≈ 0.5 mA vs. 10 mA typical). Thresholds VIH ≈ 1.55-1.82 V, VIL ≈ 0.98-1.24 V (referenced to V3V).
21 V7V power_out Internal 6.25-V bias-supply rail output (LDO from VIN, ≤10 mA). Connect a 10-µF ceramic capacitor from V7V to GND. Do not use as external supply.
22 V3V power_out Internal 3.3-V bias-supply rail output (LDO, ≤10 mA). Connect a 3.3-µF to 10-µF ceramic capacitor from V3V to GND. Serves as reference for logic-level thresholds on control pins.
23 rUSB input USB switch current-limit setting resistor. Fit a resistor from rUSB to GND to program the USB switch current limit (e.g. 154 kΩ ≈ 0.55 A, 76.8 kΩ ≈ 1.10 A).
24 PGOOD output Open-drain power-good output; asserted (released high) after both bucks are within regulation and the minimum reset period (~256 ms). Pull up externally (e.g. 100 kΩ to V3V).
25 USB_EN input Enable input for the USB switch. Logic-high turns on the USB pass FET (VIH ≈ 1.55 V, VIL ≈ 1.3 V, referenced to V3V).
26 USB_nILIM output USB over-current, open-drain, active-low fault flag. Asserts low (~0.3 V) when the USB switch enters current-limit or thermal shutdown. Pull up externally (e.g. 100 kΩ to V3V).
27 USB_VIN power_in USB switch input supply (3.3 V to 6 V). Drain of the internal USB pass FET; RDS(on) ≈ 120 mΩ at VUSB = 5 V.
28 USB_VO power_out USB switch output (source of the internal USB pass FET). Delivers up to ~1 A to downstream USB devices, current-limited by the resistor on rUSB.
29 PAD power_in Exposed thermal power pad on the underside of the QFN. Must be soldered to the board GND plane; provides the primary thermal path (θJA ≈ 34 °C/W) and the device ground reference.
