SILICON LABS CP2102N-GQFN28 USB to UART Bridge Interface, QFN-28

The SILICON LABS CP2102N-GQFN28 is a highly integrated USB to UART bridge interface, part of the robust USBXpress family. This advanced device provides a complete solution for adding USB connectivity to applications, eliminating the need for complex external components and extensive firmware development. It integrates a USB 2.0 full-speed function controller, a USB transceiver, an internal oscillator, and a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) all into a single, compact chip.

A major advantage of this bridge is its simplicity of configuration. All device customisation and setup options are managed through a straightforward, GUI-based configurator tool, allowing for rapid development and deployment without the need for low-level coding. This saves significant engineering time and resources.

Key Features & Benefits

• Integrated Design: Features an integrated USB transceiver requiring no external resistors and a built-in clock that eliminates the need for an external crystal, reducing both component count and board space.
• High Performance: Fully USB 2.0 full-speed compatible, supporting fast data transfer rates of up to 3 Mbaud for efficient communication.
• Power Efficient: Offers a low operating current of just 9.5mA, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications.
• Advanced USB Features: Includes USB Battery Charger Detection compliant with the USB BCS 1.2 specification and supports remote wakeup functionality to wake a suspended host system.
• Easy Software Integration: Supported by royalty-free Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers, enabling seamless recognition as a standard serial port on the host computer, which simplifies application software development.

Designed for reliability in demanding environments, the CP2102N operates across a wide industrial temperature range. Its compact QFN-28 package offers an excellent footprint for space-constrai
