Application note for LPS25H?

I am interested in the LPS25H MEMS barometer chip, but I am having a hard time figuring out the footprint of the HCLGA-10L package.

Here is what is called out in the datasheet:

I cannot decipher from his what the dimensions of the pads should be.  I believe that e1/2 might give me the width, but I cannot determine the length.  Maybe that's what B is supposed to mean, but I don't see it.

Also, I found that there is a

but cannot find one for the LPS25H.  I realize it's a very new part, but this would help -- it provides some guidance on how the pads should be laid out.

Can someone more mechanically inclined parse this for me?

Thanks.

For reference, here is the figure of merit from the LPS331AP, which is a comparable part (though with worse resolution).

T1 and T2 give the dimensions of the pads, and the rest can be inferred easily.

I suppose I should just use the LPS331AP instead...

Getting support for ST is much harder than getting blood out of a stone.  They are at Rev 3 of this data sheet and still haven't dealt with this problem.

Freescale make a couple of nice parts which are similar in price.

Hello,

Infact we are going to improve the quality of the drawing with more details;

The pad dimension you are looking for are: 0.30mm x 0.45mm (+/- 0.05 mm tolerance)

You can find the LPS25H AN just below the LPS331AP , at this address

Thank you for your questions

Please update the entire datasheet while you're at it. The "Application hints" page is very hard to read like this, a footprint is not a schematic... And Table 2 could use an update as well like input/output/open collector info etc. And I'd expect some information on how long a measurement takes, min/typ/max etc.
