CP2101
USB to UART Bridge
Description
- The CP2101 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. The CP2101 includes a USB
2.0 full-speed function controller, USB transceiver, oscillator, EEPROM
and asynchronous serial data bus (UART) with full modem control sig-
nals in a compact 5 x 5 mm QFN-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
- Works with existing COM port applications
- Royalty-free distribution license
- Windows 98SE/2000/XP
- MAC OS-9
- MAC OS-X
- Linux 2.40
