Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | unconnected | No connection, must be left floating. |
| 2 | CFG | input | TNOW and DTR function configuration pin; high/floating during power-up configures all DTRx/TNOWx as TNOW function; low configures as DTR function with optional independent configuration via pull-down resistors. |
| 3 | NC | unconnected | No connection, must be left floating. |
| 4 | NC | unconnected | No connection, must be left floating. |
| 5 | XI | input | Crystal oscillator input for 8MHz clock generation. |
| 6 | XO | output | Crystal oscillator reverse phase output for 8MHz clock generation. |
| 7 | RESET | input | External reset input, active low, internal pull-up resistor. |
| 8 | GND | power_in | Common ground connection to USB bus ground. |
| 9 | VCC | power_in | Positive power supply input 3.3V, requires external 0.1µF decoupling capacitor. |
