Behavioural mixed-signal modelCH340Cch340c

CH340C USB-UART (to the PC)

USB-to-UART bridge with internal oscillator: the serial port of the PC. Bytes arriving on RXD appear in the part's terminal, typed text leaves on TXD (8N1, any standard baud rate; the bridge follows the host). Wire RXD to the board's TX and TXD to its RX (crossed). VCC 5 V from USB with V3 to 100 nF, or VCC = V3 = 3.3 V. The USB link to the PC (UD+ / UD−) is abstracted: plugged in while VCC is powered.

Simulation model

A behavioural model implements the interface of the chip (registers, protocol, timing) at its pins. The pins are connected to the analog circuit like CMOS pins.
