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.
