Description

The CP2102N ICIntegrated Circuit is a USB Serial Adapter that converts USB signals to 2-wire UARTUniversal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (TXTransmit, RXReceive) for 3.3V systems (the CP2102N input is 5V tolerant). It operates at USB Full Speed and supports baud rates from 300bps to 3Mbps.

For Linux OS the drivers are typically already installed in the kernel, for Windows it will automatically grab the driver from a Windows Update, but for Mac OS the driver needs to be downloaded from the SciLabs website and installed.

The CP2102N IC has power pins (VCC, GND), data pins (TX, RX), control pins (RI, DTR, DSR, DCD, RTS, CTR), and GPIO pins (GPIO0-GPIO6), defined in the table below. However, some modules may not include some or all of the control pins or GPIO pins.
