Silicon Labs CP2102N-GQFN28 USB to UART Bridge Interface, QFN-28

Silicon Labs CP2102N-GQFN28 USB to UART Bridge Interface provides USB 2.0 full-speed connectivity in a single compact QFN-28 chip, with a built-in clock and integrated USB transceiver.

The CP2102N is a highly integrated USB to UART bridge interface from the USBXpress family. It combines a USB 2.0 full-speed function controller, a USB transceiver, an internal oscillator and a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) into one chip, giving applications a complete solution for USB connectivity without complex external components or extensive firmware development.

Overview

All device customisation and setup options are managed through a GUI-based configurator tool. This allows rapid development and deployment without low-level coding, which can save significant engineering time and resources.

Key Features
