CH376T

WCH Jiangsu Qin Heng · USB Converters · SSOP-20-208mil

CH376T from WCH Jiangsu Qin Heng, in a SSOP-20-208mil. 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 INT# output Interrupt request output, active low, built-in pull-up resistor. Asserted to notify the MCU of USB/SD/file-system events (device connect, transfer complete, etc.).
2 RSTI input External reset input, active low, built-in pull-down resistor. Drive low to force a hardware reset of the chip.
3 SPI# input Interface-mode configuration input latched during chip internal reset, built-in pull-up resistor. Selects between SPI device interface (low at reset) and UART serial interface (high at reset) for MCU communication.
4 TXD bidirectional Dual-function pin: at chip internal reset it acts as an interface-configuration strap input (built-in pull-up); after reset it is the asynchronous serial (UART) transmit data output.
5 RXD input Asynchronous serial (UART) receive data input, built-in pull-up resistor. Baud rate is programmable up to 3 Mbps via the SET_BAUDRATE command.
6 SD_DI input Serial data input of the SD card SPI host interface (data from SD card to CH376), built-in pull-up resistor.
7 V3 power_in Internal 3.3 V regulator node. Tie to VCC when operating at 3.3 V supply; connect an external 0.01 uF decoupling capacitor when operating at 5 V supply.
8 UD+ bidirectional USB bus D+ data line. Connects directly to the USB connector D+ pin (host or device mode).
9 UD- bidirectional USB bus D- data line. Connects directly to the USB connector D- pin (host or device mode).
10 GND power_in Common ground reference; must be tied to the ground wire of the USB bus.
11 XI input Crystal oscillator input terminal. Connect a 12 MHz crystal (with the usual load capacitors) between XI and XO.
12 XO output Inverted crystal oscillator output terminal. Connect a 12 MHz crystal between XI and XO.
13 SCS input SPI device interface chip-select input from the MCU, active low, built-in pull-up resistor.
14 SCK input SPI device interface serial clock input from the MCU, built-in pull-up resistor. Supports SPI rates up to 24 MHz.
15 SDI input SPI device interface serial data input (MOSI) from the MCU, built-in pull-up resistor.
16 SDO tri_state SPI device interface serial data output (MISO) to the MCU. Three-state output; high-impedance when SCS is deasserted.
17 SD_CS output SD card SPI host interface chip-select output, active low, open-drain with built-in pull-up resistor.
18 SD_DO/RST output Dual-function pin. In SD card mode it is the SPI serial data output (SD_DO, data from CH376 to SD card). Before entering SD card mode it acts as a power-on/external reset output (RST), active high.
19 SD_CK output SD card SPI host interface serial clock output (up to 6 MHz).
20 VCC power_in Positive power supply input. Supports 5 V, 3.3 V, or 3 V operation; requires an external 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor to GND.
