GN1628T

GN Semic · LED Display Drivers · SSOP-28-150mil

GN1628T from GN Semic, in a SSOP-28-150mil. 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 NC unconnected No connect. Leave floating.
2 DIO bidirectional Serial data I/O for the 3-wire host interface. N-channel open-drain output with an internal ~24 kΩ pull-up to VDD. Data is shifted LSB first synchronous to CLK; direction switches between write (display RAM) and read (key-scan) cycles.
3 CLK input Serial clock input for the 3-wire host interface. Data on DIO is sampled on the rising edge. Max clock frequency 1 MHz at 50% duty; min pulse width 400 ns.
4 STB input Chip-select / strobe input. A falling edge starts a command/data frame; the rising edge latches it. Held high between transfers.
5 K1 input Key-matrix return line 1. Input with internal ~10 kΩ pull-down; driven high through the pressed key by the currently scanning KSn line.
6 K2 input Key-matrix return line 2. Input with internal ~10 kΩ pull-down; second row of the 10x2 key matrix.
7 VDD power_in Positive supply, 3.0-5.5 V (typ 5 V). Bypass to GND with a local decoupling capacitor. Tied internally to pin 21.
8 SEG1/KS1 output Muxed LED segment output SEG1 / key-scan drive line KS1. P-channel open-drain output; sources up to -25 mA typ (-40 mA max) for LED anode drive and pulses to strobe key column 1 during key scan.
9 SEG2/KS2 output Muxed LED segment output SEG2 / key-scan drive line KS2. P-channel open-drain, same drive rating as SEG1/KS1.
10 SEG3/KS3 output Muxed LED segment output SEG3 / key-scan drive line KS3. P-channel open-drain.
11 SEG4/KS4 output Muxed LED segment output SEG4 / key-scan drive line KS4. P-channel open-drain.
12 SEG5/KS5 output Muxed LED segment output SEG5 / key-scan drive line KS5. P-channel open-drain.
13 SEG6/KS6 output Muxed LED segment output SEG6 / key-scan drive line KS6. P-channel open-drain.
14 SEG7/KS7 output Muxed LED segment output SEG7 / key-scan drive line KS7. P-channel open-drain.
15 SEG8/KS8 output Muxed LED segment output SEG8 / key-scan drive line KS8. P-channel open-drain.
16 SEG9/KS9 output Muxed LED segment output SEG9 / key-scan drive line KS9. P-channel open-drain.
17 SEG10/KS10 output Muxed LED segment output SEG10 / key-scan drive line KS10. P-channel open-drain.
18 SEG12/GRID7 output Muxed segment SEG12 / grid (digit) driver GRID7. Push-pull (P/N) open-drain output; role depends on the display-mode command (4/13, 5/12, 6/11 or 7/10 grid/segment).
19 SEG13/GRID6 output Muxed segment SEG13 / grid driver GRID6. Push-pull (P/N) open-drain output.
20 SEG14/GRID5 output Muxed segment SEG14 / grid driver GRID5. Push-pull (P/N) open-drain output.
21 VDD power_in Positive supply (tied to pin 7). 3.0-5.5 V. Both VDD pins should be connected to the same rail with local decoupling.
22 GND power_in Ground return. All three GND pins (22, 25, 28) must be tied to the board 0 V plane.
23 GRID4 output Digit (grid) driver 4. N-channel open-drain sink, IOL 100 mA typ at VO = 0.3 V; strobes the common cathode of digit 4 during display refresh.
24 GRID3 output Digit (grid) driver 3. N-channel open-drain sink.
25 GND power_in Ground return (see pin 22).
26 GRID2 output Digit (grid) driver 2. N-channel open-drain sink.
27 GRID1 output Digit (grid) driver 1. N-channel open-drain sink.
28 GND power_in Ground return (see pin 22).

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
gn1628t.step 362 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
gn1628t-etched.step 2.7 MB You want the part with GN1628T already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 673 faces against 447 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.
