CH455G from WCH Jiangsu Qin Heng, in a SOP-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 | SEG4 | bidirectional | Segment 4 driver output (active-high, drives segment E of a common-cathode 7-seg digit) and row-4 key-scan input (active-high, with internal pull-down). Continuous drive current up to 40 mA per SEG pin. |
| 2 | SEG5 | bidirectional | Segment 5 driver output (active-high, drives segment F) and row-5 key-scan input (active-high, with internal pull-down). Max 40 mA per SEG. |
| 3 | SEG6 | bidirectional | Segment 6 driver output (active-high, drives segment G) and row-6 key-scan input (active-high, with internal pull-down). Max 40 mA per SEG. |
| 4 | SEG7/INT# | output | In 8-segment mode: decimal-point segment driver (active-high). In 7-segment mode (typical for CH455G, which lacks a dedicated INT# pin): active-low keyboard interrupt output equivalent to INT#. Mode is chosen by the 7SEG bit of the Set System Parameter command. |
| 5 | DIG0 | output | Digit 0 drive (active-low, sinks common-cathode digit current up to 200 mA) during display scan; column-scan output (active-high) during keypad scan. |
| 6 | SCL | input | 2-wire serial clock input, I2C-compatible, up to 4 MHz. Internal pull-up (typ 200 uA); default high. Data is latched on rising edge. |
| 7 | SDA | bidirectional | 2-wire serial data, I2C-compatible open-drain with internal pull-up (typ 300 uA); default high. MSB-first; sampled on SCL rising edge, driven on SCL falling edge. |
| 8 | GND | power_in | Common ground return; must sustain continuous current of at least 150 mA to sink the aggregated segment/digit drive current. |
| 9 | DIG1 | output | Digit 1 drive (active-low, up to 200 mA cathode sink) during display scan; column-scan output (active-high) during keypad scan. |
| 10 | DIG2 | output | Digit 2 drive (active-low, up to 200 mA cathode sink) during display scan; column-scan output (active-high) during keypad scan. |
| 11 | DIG3 | output | Digit 3 drive (active-low, up to 200 mA cathode sink) during display scan; column-scan output (active-high) during keypad scan. |
| 12 | SEG0 | bidirectional | Segment 0 driver output (active-high, drives segment A) and row-0 key-scan input (active-high, with internal pull-down). Max 40 mA per SEG. |
| 13 | SEG1 | bidirectional | Segment 1 driver output (active-high, drives segment B) and row-1 key-scan input (active-high, with internal pull-down). Max 40 mA per SEG. |
| 14 | VCC | power_in | Positive supply, 2.5 V to 5.3 V (recommended 2.7-5 V). Must sustain continuous current of at least 150 mA; decouple with 0.1 uF ceramic and >=100 uF bulk capacitor close to the pin. |
| 15 | SEG2 | bidirectional | Segment 2 driver output (active-high, drives segment C) and row-2 key-scan input (active-high, with internal pull-down). Max 40 mA per SEG. |
| 16 | SEG3 | bidirectional | Segment 3 driver output (active-high, drives segment D) and row-3 key-scan input (active-high, with internal pull-down). Max 40 mA per SEG. |

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:
| File | Size | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
ch455g.step |
217 KB | You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards. |
ch455g-etched.step |
1.9 MB | You want the part with CH455G already on it. |
The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 474 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.
