GN1640T

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

GN1640T 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 GRID12 output Grid (digit) output 12. N-channel open-drain output that sinks common-cathode LED digit current. Max sink current 200 mA (IO2 abs max); typical IOL1 = 120 mA at VOL = 0.3 V.
2 GRID13 output Grid (digit) output 13. N-channel open-drain digit driver for common-cathode LED matrix.
3 GRID14 output Grid (digit) output 14. N-channel open-drain digit driver.
4 GRID15 output Grid (digit) output 15. N-channel open-drain digit driver.
5 GRID16 output Grid (digit) output 16. N-channel open-drain digit driver.
6 GND power_in Ground reference (0 V).
7 DATA input Serial data input for the 2-wire (CLK/DATA) interface. VIH >= 0.7VDD, VIL <= 0.2VDD. Data changes only while CLK is low; a high-to-low DATA transition while CLK is high signals START, a low-to-high transition while CLK is high signals STOP.
8 CLK input Serial clock input for the 2-wire interface. Max clock frequency Fmax = 1 MHz at 50% duty cycle; clock pulse width PWCLK = 400 ns typical; tSETUP = tHOLD = 100 ns.
9 SEG1 output Segment output 1. P-channel open-drain source driver for LED segments. IOH1 = 50 mA typ at VOH = VDD-2 V; abs max IO1 = 50 mA.
10 SEG2 output Segment output 2. P-channel open-drain segment driver.
11 SEG3 output Segment output 3. P-channel open-drain segment driver.
12 SEG4 output Segment output 4. P-channel open-drain segment driver.
13 SEG5 output Segment output 5. P-channel open-drain segment driver.
14 SEG6 output Segment output 6. P-channel open-drain segment driver.
15 SEG7 output Segment output 7. P-channel open-drain segment driver.
16 SEG8 output Segment output 8. P-channel open-drain segment driver.
17 VDD power_in Supply voltage. Operating range 3.0 V - 5.5 V, typical 5.0 V. Abs max +7.0 V. Typical quiescent current IDD = 130 uA (no load, VIN = VDD).
18 GRID1 output Grid (digit) output 1. N-channel open-drain digit driver.
19 GRID2 output Grid (digit) output 2. N-channel open-drain digit driver.
20 GRID3 output Grid (digit) output 3. N-channel open-drain digit driver.
21 GRID4 output Grid (digit) output 4. N-channel open-drain digit driver.
22 GRID5 output Grid (digit) output 5. N-channel open-drain digit driver.
23 GRID6 output Grid (digit) output 6. N-channel open-drain digit driver.
24 GRID7 output Grid (digit) output 7. N-channel open-drain digit driver.
25 GRID8 output Grid (digit) output 8. N-channel open-drain digit driver.
26 GRID9 output Grid (digit) output 9. N-channel open-drain digit driver.
27 GRID10 output Grid (digit) output 10. N-channel open-drain digit driver.
28 GRID11 output Grid (digit) output 11. N-channel open-drain digit driver.

Ordering variants

Same part, different packaging or reel option.

  • GN1640TT
  • GN1640T

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: GN1640T
  • Footprint: Package_SO:SSOP-28_5.3x10.2mm_P0.65mm
  • 3D model: SSOP-28-150mil (KiCad packages3D, STEP)

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
gn1640t.step 362 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
gn1640t-etched.step 2.5 MB You want the part with GN1640T already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 646 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.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: GN Semic datasheet (13 pp, sha256 ef899cd4b78754dd, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Datasheet language: Chinese. Pin names, descriptions, and specs on this page were extracted and translated to English by ds2sf; the linked PDF is the manufacturer original.
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
