SL2.1A

CoreChips · USB Converters · SOP-16

SL2.1A from CoreChips, 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 DM4 bidirectional Downstream Port 4 USB D- signal. Connects to the D- line of downstream USB device 4 with internal 15 kΩ pull-down (Rpd) and integrated 45 Ω high-speed termination.
2 DP4 bidirectional Downstream Port 4 USB D+ signal. Connects to the D+ line of downstream USB device 4 with internal 15 kΩ pull-down (Rpd) and integrated 45 Ω high-speed termination.
3 DM3 bidirectional Downstream Port 3 USB D- signal. Connects to the D- line of downstream USB device 3 with internal 15 kΩ pull-down and 45 Ω high-speed termination.
4 DP3 bidirectional Downstream Port 3 USB D+ signal. Connects to the D+ line of downstream USB device 3 with internal 15 kΩ pull-down and 45 Ω high-speed termination.
5 DM2 bidirectional Downstream Port 2 USB D- signal. Connects to the D- line of downstream USB device 2 with internal 15 kΩ pull-down and 45 Ω high-speed termination.
6 DP2 bidirectional Downstream Port 2 USB D+ signal. Connects to the D+ line of downstream USB device 2 with internal 15 kΩ pull-down and 45 Ω high-speed termination.
7 DM1 bidirectional Downstream Port 1 USB D- signal. Connects to the D- line of downstream USB device 1 with internal 15 kΩ pull-down and 45 Ω high-speed termination.
8 DP1 bidirectional Downstream Port 1 USB D+ signal. Connects to the D+ line of downstream USB device 1 with internal 15 kΩ pull-down and 45 Ω high-speed termination.
9 UDM bidirectional Upstream port USB D- signal. Connects to the host's D- line with internal 1.5 kΩ pull-up (Rpu) for high-speed device announcement and 45 Ω HS termination.
10 UDP bidirectional Upstream port USB D+ signal. Connects to the host's D+ line with internal 1.5 kΩ pull-up (Rpu) and 45 Ω HS termination.
11 VCC5 power_in 5 V main supply input. Feeds the internal 5V-to-3.3V LDO; single-supply operation for the whole chip.
12 VSS power_in Chip ground (0 V) reference for all analog and digital supplies.
13 VDD33 power_out 3.3 V LDO output derived from VCC5. Must be bypassed with a 4.7 µF capacitor to ground placed close to the pin; feeds the internal 3.3V-to-1.8V LDO through the PCB.
14 VDD18 power_out Digital 1.8 V LDO output. Must be bypassed with a 4.7 µF capacitor to ground placed close to the pin.
15 XOUT output 12 MHz crystal oscillator output pin. Connects to one terminal of a 12 MHz / CL=20 pF / 20 ppm crystal; no external load capacitors are required per datasheet.
16 XIN input 12 MHz crystal oscillator input pin. Connects to the other terminal of the 12 MHz / 20 pF / 20 ppm crystal; feeds the internal 12→480 MHz PLL.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
sl2-1a.step 217 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
sl2-1a-etched.step 1.6 MB You want the part with SL2.1A already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 416 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.

Provenance

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

  • Datasheet: CoreChips datasheet (21 pp, sha256 9a55c6649643b949, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
