GN1650 from GN Semic, 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 | DIG1 | output | Digit/key-scan output 1. LED digit (common) drive output - active low for LED drive, active high when used as a keypad scan output. Sinks up to ~150 mA per digit line. |
| 2 | CLK | input | Serial clock input for the 2-wire (I2C-like) interface. Internal pull-up (typ. 200 uA). VIL max 0.8 V, VIH min 2.0 V. Data is latched on the rising edge; max ~4 Mbps. |
| 3 | DIO | bidirectional | Serial data input/output for the 2-wire interface. Open-drain with internal pull-up (typ. 300 uA). Carries commands and read-back key-scan data; changes only while CLK is low. |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Ground reference (0 V) for supply, logic, and drive currents. |
| 5 | DIG2 | output | Digit/key-scan output 2. LED digit (common) drive output - active low for LED drive, active high when used as a keypad scan output. |
| 6 | DIG3 | output | Digit/key-scan output 3. LED digit (common) drive output - active low for LED drive, active high when used as a keypad scan output. |
| 7 | DIG4 | output | Digit/key-scan output 4. LED digit (common) drive output - active low for LED drive, active high when used as a keypad scan output. |
| 8 | A/KI1 | bidirectional | LED segment A drive output (active high, up to ~25 mA) / keypad column input KI1 (active high, internal pull-down ~50 uA typ.). |
| 9 | B/KI2 | bidirectional | LED segment B drive output (active high) / keypad column input KI2 (active high, internal pull-down). |
| 10 | VDD | power_in | Supply voltage input, 3.0 V to 5.5 V (typ. 5 V). Datasheet recommends a 104 (100 nF) decoupling capacitor placed within 2 cm of the VDD pin; typical operating current 80 mA, max 230 mA. |
| 11 | C/KI3 | bidirectional | LED segment C drive output (active high) / keypad column input KI3 (active high, internal pull-down). |
| 12 | D/KI4 | bidirectional | LED segment D drive output (active high) / keypad column input KI4 (active high, internal pull-down). |
| 13 | E/KI5 | bidirectional | LED segment E drive output (active high) / keypad column input KI5 (active high, internal pull-down). |
| 14 | F/KI6 | bidirectional | LED segment F drive output (active high) / keypad column input KI6 (active high, internal pull-down). |
| 15 | G/KI7 | bidirectional | LED segment G drive output (active high) / keypad column input KI7 (active high, internal pull-down). |
| 16 | DP/KP | output | LED decimal-point segment output; also outputs a keypad flag/marker signal. Internal strong pull-up (IUP3 typ. 2 mA). |

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:
| File | Size | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
gn1650.step |

1.9 MB | You want the part with GN1650 already on it. |
The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 486 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.
