CH340N from WCH Jiangsu Qin Heng, in a SOP-8. 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 | UD+ | bidirectional | USB D+ data line. Connect directly to the USB bus D+; do not add a series resistor. Internal pull-up and full USB 2.0 full-speed transceiver are integrated. |
| 2 | UD- | bidirectional | USB D- data line. Connect directly to the USB bus D-; do not add a series resistor. |
| 3 | GND | power_in | Common ground. Connect directly to the USB bus ground. |
| 4 | RTS# | output | MODEM Request-To-Send output, active low (software-controllable polarity). Only MODEM handshake line brought out on the SOP-8 CH340N. |
| 5 | VCC | power_in | Positive supply input. Supports 5V (4.0-5.3V) or 3.3V (3.1-3.6V) operation. Requires a 0.1uF decoupling capacitor. In 3.3V mode, tie VCC to V3 (pin 8). |
| 6 | TXD | output | UART serial data output. Idle-high in normal (non-IrDA) mode. Baud rates 50 bps to 2 Mbps; transmit baud error <1.8% on CH340N (internal oscillator). |
| 7 | RXD | input | UART serial data input. Has software-controllable internal pull-up and pull-down resistors. Should idle high. |
| 8 | V3 | power_out | Internal 3.3V regulator node. In 5V operation, connect a 0.1uF decoupling capacitor to GND. In 3.3V operation, tie directly to VCC (pin 5) and feed 3.3V externally. |

3D model downloads
Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:
| File | Size | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
ch340n.step |
122 KB | You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards. |
ch340n-etched.step |
1.5 MB | You want the part with CH340N already on it. |
The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 368 faces against 147 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.
