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. #hclga-10l

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
