L1527

WL · Interface - Specialized · SOP-8

L1527 from WL, in a SOP-8. 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 OSCI input Single-ended oscillator input. Connect an external oscillator resistor from this pin to VCC to set the encoding bit-width / working frequency (see resistor-vs-code-width table, e.g. 47 kΩ ≈ 287 µs @ 3 V up to 560 kΩ ≈ 2.83 ms @ 12 V).
2 VDD power_in Positive supply. Operating range 2.0 V to 12 V (absolute max 12 V, abs-min -0.3 V). Static current typ 0.01 µA (< 0.1 µA) with all keys open; operating current typ 0.2 mA (max 1.0 mA) with any Kx high.
3 GND power_in Negative supply / ground reference.
4 DAT output Serial encoded data output. Frame = sync + 20-bit address (C0..C19) + 4 data bits (D0..D3). Drive capability IOH ≈ 20 mA typ @ VCC=12 V (VOH=5 V), 15 mA typ @ VCC=9 V, 1.5 mA typ @ VCC=3 V. Idle low; asserts only while a key is pressed, so it can directly drive an indicator LED / NPN RF-modulator stage.
5 K0 input Key input 0. Active-high; contains an internal 10 kΩ pull-down to GND. Drive high (through a key from VCC) to encode bit D0 in the transmitted frame.
6 K1 input Key input 1. Active-high; contains an internal 10 kΩ pull-down to GND. Drive high to encode bit D1.
7 K2 input Key input 2. Active-high; contains an internal 10 kΩ pull-down to GND. Drive high to encode bit D2.
8 K3 input Key input 3. Active-high; contains an internal 10 kΩ pull-down to GND. Drive high to encode bit D3. Any Kx held for 15 s puts the chip into low-power shutdown until all keys are released.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
l1527.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
l1527-etched.step 1.1 MB You want the part with L1527 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 280 faces against 147 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: WL datasheet (9 pp, sha256 ff2098f53e050147, 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.
