CH9101R

WCH(Jiangsu Qin Heng) · USB Converters · QSOP-16-150mil

CH9101R from WCH(Jiangsu Qin Heng), in a QSOP-16-150mil. 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 TXD output Serial data output of the UART, idle state is high.
2 RTS output MODEM handshake output, request to send, active low; if an external pull-down is detected on RTS at power-up, the EEPROM configuration is disabled and chip default parameters are used.
3 VIO power_in I/O port supply input (1.8V to 5V supported) that requires an external decoupling capacitor.
4 RXD input Serial data input of the UART with internal pull-up resistor, idle state is high.
5 GND power_in Common ground, must be connected to the ground line of the USB bus.
6 CTS input MODEM handshake input, clear to send, active low.
7 DSR input MODEM handshake input, data set ready, active low; default function is TXS, switchable to DSR via EEPROM configuration.
8 UD+ bidirectional USB D+ data line connected directly to the USB bus, no series resistor allowed.
9 UD- bidirectional USB D- data line connected directly to the USB bus, no series resistor allowed.
10 V3 power_in Internal regulator output and core/USB supply input; connect to VDD5 when VDD5 is below 3.6V, or use an external decoupling capacitor (about 0.1uF) when VDD5 is above 3.6V.
11 RESET# input External reset input, active low, with internal pull-up resistor.
12 VDD5 power_in Positive supply input of the power regulator (4.0V to 5.5V typical, or 3.0V to 3.6V when tied to V3), requires an external decoupling capacitor.
13 GND power_in Common ground, must be connected to the ground line of the USB bus.
14 RI input MODEM handshake input, ring indicator, active low; default function is RXS, switchable to RI via EEPROM configuration.
15 DCD input MODEM handshake input, carrier detect, active low; default function is TNOW, switchable to DCD via EEPROM configuration.
16 DTR output MODEM handshake output, data terminal ready, active low; default function is SUSPEND, switchable to DTR via EEPROM configuration.
