5. Application Notes CH340 chip have built in USB bus pull-up resistors and on-chip signal termination, UD+ and UD- pins should be connected to the USB bus lines directly. CH340 have built in power on reset circuitry. During operation CH340 requires a 12MHz clock signal present at XI pin. Generally this clock signal is provided by connecting a 12MHz crystal resonator and load capacitors between XI and XO pins, and the built-in crystal resonator will provide the required clock signal. When using an external oscillator feed the clock signal into XI pin, and leave XO pin unconnected. CH340 supports 5V and 3.3V operation. When using 5V operation, supply 5V to VCC pin, and decouple the internal 3.3V reference with a capacitor of 4.7-20nF from V3 pin to ground. When using 3.3V operation, tie V3 pin to VCC pin and supply 3.3V power. CH340 supports USB device suspension to reduce energy consumption. When NOS# signal is active this feature is disabled. (Note: CH340G does not have this pin.) Supported hardware flow control signals: CTS#, DSR#, RI#, DCD#, DTR# and RTS#. All flow control pins are software controlled. Auxiliary pins: IR#, R232, CKO and ACT#. (Note: only R232 is present on CH340G) When R232 signal is asserted the RXD signal is inverted. R232 is latched during Power-On Reset.

5.2. Example: Optically isolated USB to UART adapter
This adapter provides optically isolated inputs and outputs with 4 PC817 optoisolators. Respect the isolation border when laying out the board, and if possible, cut slots under the optoisolators. The two 74LVC1G06 is optional, but helpful when the input pins cannot source too many current.
