2 GND1 power_in Side 1 ground; for narrow-body devices this pin must be externally connected to ground.
3 A1 input Side 1 digital input.
4 A2 input Side 1 digital input.
5 A3 bidirectional Side 1 digital input or output.
6 A4 bidirectional Side 1 digital input or output.
7 EN1 input Side 1 active high enable (EN1 on Si8642; NC only on Si8640/45).
8 GND1 power_in Side 1 ground; for narrow-body devices this pin must be externally connected to ground.
9 GND2 power_in Side 2 ground; for narrow-body devices this pin must be connected to external ground.
10 EN2/NC input Side 2 active high enable (EN2 on Si8642; NC only on Si8645).
11 B4 bidirectional Side 2 digital input or output.
12 B3 bidirectional Side 2 digital input or output.
