System OverviewThe CP2103 is a highly-integrated USB-to-UART Bridge Controller providing a simple solution for updatingRS-232/RS-485 designs to USB using a minimum of components and PCB space.

5 The CP2103 includes a full-speed function controller, USB transceiver, oscillator, EEPROM, and asynchronous serial data bus (UART)with full modem control signals in a compact 5x5 mm QFN-28 package (sometimes called MLF or MLP ). Noother external USB components are on-chip EEPROM may be used to customize the USB Vendor ID, Product ID, Product Description String,Power Descriptor, Device Release Number, and Device Serial Number as desired for OEM applications. TheEEPROM is programmed on-board via the USB, allowing the programming step to be easily integrated into theproduct manufacturing and testing Virtual COM Port (VCP) device drivers provided by Silicon Laboratories allow a CP2103 -basedproduct to appear as a COM port to PC applications.

6 The CP2103 UART interface implements all RS-232/RS-485signals, including control and handshaking signals; so, existing system firmware does not need to be modified. Thedevice also features up to four GPIO signals that can be user-defined for status and control information. Supportfor I/O interface voltages down to V is provided via a VIO pin. In many existing RS-232 designs, all that isrequired to update the design from RS-232 to USB is to replace the RS-232 level-translator with the access driver support is available through the Silicon Laboratories USBX press driver set. Go for the latest application notes and product support information for evaluation kit for the CP2103 (Part Number: CP2103EK) is available.

7 It includes a CP2103 -based USB-to-UART/RS-232 evaluation board, a complete set of VCP device drivers, USB and RS-232 cables, and completedocumentation.
