WCH Jiangsu Qin Heng · USB Converters · SSOP-20-208mil
CH341T from WCH Jiangsu Qin Heng, in a SSOP-20-208mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ACT# | output | USB device configuration status output, active low: high until the USB device is configured, low once configured; it may drive an LED through a series current-limiting resistor. |
| 2 | ROV# | tri_state | Serial receive buffer overflow indicator, active low; it should stay high in normal operation because the internal receive buffer does not normally overflow. |
| 3 | TXD | output | Asynchronous serial data output; the line idles high. |
| 4 | RXD | input | Asynchronous serial data input with internal pull-up resistor; the line idles high. |
| 5 | INT# | input | Custom interrupt request input with internal pull-up resistor, active on rising edge; a detected rising edge notifies the host computer. |
| 6 | V3 | power_in | Supply pin: connect to VCC for 3.3V operation, or decouple with a 0.01uF to 0.1uF capacitor when operating at 5V. |
| 7 | UD+ | bidirectional | Connects directly to the USB bus D+ data line; the USB pull-up resistor is built into the chip. |
| 8 | UD- | bidirectional | Connects directly to the USB bus D- data line. |
| 9 | XI | input | Crystal oscillator input; the CH341T requires an external 12MHz crystal with load capacitors to XI and XO. |
| 10 | XO | output | Inverted crystal oscillator output; the CH341T requires an external 12MHz crystal with load capacitor to ground. |
| 11 | GND | power_in | Common ground, connected directly to the USB bus ground; multiple GND pins are paralleled internally. |
| 12 | GND | power_in | Common ground, connected directly to the USB bus ground; multiple GND pins are paralleled internally. |
| 13 | VCC | power_in | Positive supply input with a 0.1uF decoupling capacitor; 4.0 to 5.5 V with V3 unconnected, or 3.0 to 3.6 V with V3 tied to VCC. |
| 14 | SLP# | tri_state | Sleep state output, active low. |
| 15 | SDA | bidirectional | Two-wire serial data line (open-drain output and input) with internal pull-up, used for function configuration from an external serial EEPROM. |
| 16 | SCL | output | Two-wire serial clock line (open-drain output) with internal pull-up, used for function configuration from an external serial EEPROM. |
| 17 | RDY# | output | Serial receive ready output, active low; high means the chip is not yet ready to receive data (reset, USB not configured, or receive buffer full). |
| 18 | TNOW | output | High while the chip is transmitting serial data from the serial port and low after transmission completes. |
| 19 | TEN# | input | Serial transmit enable input with internal pull-up, active low; when driven high the chip pauses serial transmission until it returns low. |
| 20 | VCC | power_in | Positive supply input with a 0.1uF decoupling capacitor; 4.0 to 5.5 V with V3 unconnected, or 3.0 to 3.6 V with V3 tied to VCC. |
