This is my mod of the CH341A. I change it to 3.3V and added 2 ZIFs: 1 for 3.3V and other for 5V (used a YF08E to convert 3.3V to 5V). The ZIFs are 24 pin so now I can program 24xxx, 25xxx, 95xxx and 93xxx eeproms! |

Found these two models searching for CH341A Programmer online. Has 3V3 connected to VCC of CH341A as well as socket & ICSP. has area onboard to clamp SOP8 / SOP16 chip using clothes peg :D No modding needed. I bought the blue version. |

Hello, I have a question. I lifted pin 24 and soldered on pin 2 of the 3.3 volt regulator and it worked perfectly. Why do I need to wire pin 9? What does pin 9 do? Thanks. |

When the external power supply is +3.3V, it is necessary to bypass/disable this regulator by connecting +3.3V to pin 9. |

Thanks for the information. You're right, I used the datasheet of USB serial converter CH340 as a reference: "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." |
