CH9328 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The CH9328 from WCH is a versatile USB Interface IC designed to act as a serial UART to HID keyboard chip. It allows for one-way data transmission, receiving serial UART data and packaging it into a standard keyboard code for upload to a computer via USB. This chip is compatible with USB 2.0 at a 12Mbps full-speed interface and features a built-in crystal oscillator.

 

The CH9328 supports both 3.3V and 5V supply voltages and offers a default serial communication baud rate of 9600bps, with support for multiple serial communication formats and common baud rate settings. Users can configure the chip's VID, PID, and various string descriptors using provided Windows software. It complies with USB and HID device specifications and can simulate full keyboard functions.

 

Packaged in a RoHS compliant SOP-16 lead-free package, the CH9328 is suitable for surface mount applications. Its pinout includes VCC, GND, V3, USB signal pins (UD+, UD-), a reset input (RSTI), a UART transmit status output (T_LED), and configurable I/O pins (IO3, IO4).

 

This chip is ideal for projects requiring the integration of serial data input into a computer as keyboard input, such as custom input devices, industrial control interfaces, or embedded systems needing keyboard emulation.
