CP2102

USB to UART Bridge

Description
- The CP2102 is a highly-integrated USB-to-UART bridge controller pro-
viding a simple solution for updating RS-232 designs to USB using a
minimum of components and PCB space. Offering Baud rates aliasing
and supporting additional data formats, the CP2102 is a pin-to-pin
upgrade from CP2101. The CP2102 also includes a USB 2.0 full-speed
function controller, USB transceiver, oscillator, EEPROM and asynchro-
nous serial data bus (UART) with full modem control signals in a com-
pact 5 x 5 mm MLP-28. No other external USB components are required.
Example Applications
- Upgrade of RS-232 legacy devices to USB
- Cellular phone USB interface cable
- PDA USB interface cable
- USB to RS-232 serial adapter
Virtual Com Port Drivers
