Introduction

USB To UART Module, Micro / Mini / Type-A / Type-C Connectors, High Baud Rate Transmission

Features

  • Adopts new version CH343G chip. Compared with CH340G, it supports a higher data rate (up to 6Mbps) and more serial port IO levels (5V / 3.3V / 2.5V / 1.8V).
  • Supports Mac, Linux, Android, Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11.
  • Onboard resettable Fuse and Transient Voltage Suppressor, anti-overcurrent and anti-overvoltage, anti-surge, anti-static, improve shock resistance, stable and safe communication performance.
  • Onboard IO protection circuits, anti-surge, anti-static, stable, and safe communication performance.
  • Onboard 3.3V and 5V TTL level switch pins for selecting TTL communication level.
  • Support 3.3V/5V output (the module is powered by USB, and the onboard jumper should be shorted to 3.3V or 5V accordingly).
  • Adopts double-sided black immersion gold process, which is durable and has a good look.

About CH343

CH343 is a USB bus adapter chip, realizes USB to high-speed asynchronous serial port and supports up to 115200bps communication Automatic identification and dynamic self-adaptation of baud rate, providing common MODEM contact signals for expanding asynchronous serial ports of computers, or feature USB bus for the common serial device or MCU.

How to use

Windows

For most of the PC, the driver for CH343 is CDC by default, if you need to use the VCP driver, please download the driver and install it manually.
The CH343 USB UART board use software flow control by default, if you want to use hardware flow control, connect CFG to EN for CDC mode, and set in SSCOM software for VCP mode.

Linxu/Raspberry Pi

To work with Raspberry Pi, it is driver-free, just connect and check with the following command:

ls /dev/tty*

The port should be named ttyACM0, user can use the minicom tool to test.

sudo apt-get install minicom -y
minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0

MacOS

To use with MacOS, please download the driver and follow the guide:

Android

To use it with an Android device, please download the APP and test it.

3. Set the parameters to use.

FAQ

 Answer:
The product can be selected by jumper caps for onboard 5V/3.3V, or it can be unplugged and input via external voltage as well (2.5V/1.8V).
