CP2101 Single Chip USB to UART Bridge

Advanced Information

DESCRIPTION FEATURES
The CP2101 is a single chip USB to UART bridge solution. USB Function Controller and Transceiver
It includes a USB 2.0 Full-Speed function controller,
EEPROM, buffer, and asynchronous serial data bus with - USB Specification 2.0 Compliant; Full-Speed (12 Mbps)
modem interface signals (suitable for RS-232 protocol). It - Integrated 512 Byte EEPROM for Vendor ID, etc.
has an integrated internal oscillator and USB Transceiver, so
no other external USB circuit components are required (see - Integrated Transceiver; No External Resistors Required
example circuit below). With the available royalty free - Integrated Clock; No External Crystal Required
device drivers from Cygnal, the CP2101 can easily be used
to implement a virtual COM port. - USB suspend states supported via SUSPEND and RI pins
Asynchronous Serial Data Bus (UART)
EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
- All Handshaking and Modem Interface Signals
- Cellular Phone USB Interface Cable
- Data Formats Supported: 5,6,7,8 bits; 1 or 2 Stop bits
