Hi. I just wanted to comment on this video. I also followed and used a USB power bank. This did output around 4.7 V to most pins, including most of the ZIF socket But when I checked VCC pin it was 3.3 V. So, I then plugged the CH341A into computer. I checked voltage at socket #8 which is VCC to the chips. The output is 3.3 V, correct. All other sockets are at 0 V, nothing at 5 V. I am using it without modification. Test the VCC socket for V when connected to PC with proper driver. You may not need to do any modification.

Great video! One word of advice to anyone trying this fix: Be VERY careful when lifting up the pin that is later bridged using the additional wire. When I tried to solder the wire onto the pin I lifted before, it broke off. It is likely that I damaged it already when lifting it up, but as a result it was impossible to solder any wire onto the chip and the whole thing is now toast. Thankfully, these things are cheap, so I'll just order another one, but better to avoid this happening in the first place.

Okay, this is really funny. This video shows how to bring level down to 3.3 V, but DrShock has a KZbin with his CH341 only providing 3.3 volt and shows how to modify his version of the board to bring it up to 5.0 V. Apparently, DrShock needs the 5V for automotive chip programming, while the 3.3V is needed for PC BIOS chips. Perhaps you guys can just trade boards? I'd say there are 2 versions out there and just be sure you get the one for your particular chip programming application. This is very interesting topic, though. I used a chip programmer with a sewing needle to 3.3 V power to re-program a 2015 Apple MacBook Prom to unlock it with chip in-place on board with a ribbon cable that attached to a SAM socket directly on the logic board. Nice and clean and no soldering. Just had to hold the pin steady for a few minutes to do the read, and then again to do the write. I'm typing this on that computer. Battery and power disconnected from logic board, sewing needle attached to a 3.3 V lead from an old PC power supply.
@dieSpinnt4 жыл бұрын
The supply voltage on the test socket of these -devices- toys are at 3.3V and the "signal-provider", the CH341, is powered with 5V. This leads to signals with 5V level. This mod is to fix this. Btw that shows that they are absolute bullshit and that we were ripped off( Yes, I was as stupid and stingy as the others). For a Microchip 93Cxx the signal levels are okay, but you need also 5V supply or your programmed data won't be reliable stored. That's nothing you want to gamble with in automotive applications:) Also the pin-layout is slightly different. That is what DrShock's Mod was for. See www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/ch341a-serial-memory-programmer-power-supply-fix/ for a reference and the origin of this modifications. Also both videos are linked in this forum post.

Yeah, I recently found this same flaw with a similar device designed specifically for flashing ESP-01 modules - it has a yellow, 8-pin 0.1" socket on it for an ESP-01 to plug into. The ESP8266 is specifically *not* 5V-tolerant, and this board has a 3.3V regulator that it uses to power the ESP-01, as well as connecting 3.3V to GPIO0, GPIO2, and CH_PD/EN, but it puts 5V on both the TxD and RxD pins =/ It uses a 16-pin SOIC with no marking for the USB-to-UART conversion, but I suspect it's a CH340G, very similar to the CH341A you've got here. Surprisingly enough, I *don't* appear to have fried any ESP-01 modules with it in the time before I noticed this flaw (though of course the modules could be damaged in subtle ways), but it's very annoying regardless, and I no longer use that board, even if it is more convenient than others I have...

Esp8266 GPIO pins are protected with a snapback circuit and can handle up to around 6v though i would not push it past 5v personally (as mentioned within the data sheet), however the supply voltage remains only 3.3v tolerant, because of this boards like the nodemcu normally just connect the CH341 chip in the same configuration as used within this video.

@SianaGearz4 жыл бұрын
Unnecessary thing to worry about, i think. People sure love overengineering things and fixing what aren't broken. Have you ever seen a chip broken by one of these boards? They only have an internal current limit when actively driven up of 8mA per pin. When pulling up, it's even much less, about half a mA. ESD protection diodes in target devices appear to be able to dissipate the current easily. It's also likely running in WCH Pseudo-Bidi mode which is default on all pins, where they're actively driven up only for 2 cycles, and then always just pulled up weakly, so you get both the active drive signal quality and you don't end up pushing a lot of energy around. Maybe it's a bit rude, but it's alright. There is also a reason why they run the chip off 5V, i think. When powered by 3.3V, the WCH chips are not 5V tolerant!
@voltlog4 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't call switching the VDD to the chip to the correct 3.3V for 3.3V logic, that's just engineering. Maybe if I would add a voltage level translator and a switch for having both 3.3V and 5V switchable that would be overengineering.

@Callum Faulds The supply voltage is only 3.3V, or however much you set it. If you route 5V into a 3V3 chip's power input, at low impedance, it's usually game over. The data pins get clamped to target chip's VCC by ESD diodes, and given their high source impedance, the damage is avoided. Or how'd you blow up the chip?

Hello Mr Voltlog, you dont know me but I have been lurking. Very impressed with your BST-863 dissassembly video. Actually there is something else in particular here can really help me out because I am in a spot after making a mistake. Flashied wrong firmware on to the (very same!) 1080p video capture card which you also featured in a previous video.. What happened? Well I simply was not satisfied with the 1080p30 being the highest 'true' mode. So I then found and downloaded this windows flashing program. It is all written in Chinese language. So when I was trying to backup the firmware I could not understand the words. And clicked a button that seemed to say 'read'. But read it was not. Actually the opposite and then it writes over the existing firmware with a new one. And then the other firmware was even worse! It took away the 1080p 30 fps mode. Sad face. It is then I see the PCB inside the metal cage, that there is a Macronix 25xxx SPI flash chip. Perhaps to have a little fun with it you can help me out? And try to read off the contents with your CH341A ? I would be very grateful. Because I cannot find anywhere to download back again return to the original firmware. Only some of these others. If I can send you those files also. But I do not really recommend for others to try to use them. Wishing you well, good day.

I am adding that to my todo list, can't promise how soon it will happen but I'll leave a comment here when it's done.

@@voltlog can we also reduce it to 1.8v, the step down buck3.3v regulator output, without buying a stupid 1.8v adapter? does this main ch341 chip work at 1.8v?

current cant burn anything without amps 5. v pin steps down under load to 3.3 v and therefore no need to modify no engineer fault design just bad reputations on net
