CH340C is a USB bus conversion chip, it can realize USB to UART interface or USB to printer interface.
CH340C, CH340E, and CH340B have built-in crystal, no external crystal.
CH340C provides a common MODEM liaison signal, used to expand the UART interface of the computer or upgrade the common serial device to a USB bus directly.
Full-speed USB device interface, compatible with USB V2.0.
Hardware full duplex serial UART interface, built-in transmit-receive buffer, supports communication baud rate varies from 50bps to 2Mbps.
Supports common MODEM liaison signal RTS, DTR, DCD, RI, DSR, and CTS.
Emulate standard UART interface, used to upgrade the serial peripherals, or expand UART interface via USB bus.
Through external level conversion chip provide further RS232, RS485, RS422 interface, etc.
Original serial applications are compatible, without any modification in the Windows operation system.
Software compatible with CH341, use the driver of CH341 directly.
Support 5V and 3.3V power supply even 3V.
Supported Low Power Consumption Mode.
