Product Overview

The CP2102-GMR is a high-performance USB-to-UART bridge by Silicon Labs, engineered for embedded systems, industrial control, and IoT devices. It integrates a USB 2.0 Full-Speed controller, UART interface, built-in crystal oscillator, and EEPROM, enabling stable communication without external components. Compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS, it excels in space-constrained and high-reliability applications.

Key Features

• ghly Integrated Design: Embedded USB transceiver, clock circuit, 1024-byte EEPROM, and 3.3V regulator eliminate the need for external crystals or voltage regulators, streamlining circuit design.
• High-Speed & Stable Transmission: Supports USB 2.0 Full-Speed (12Mbps) and UART baud rates from 300bps to 1Mbps, meeting industrial-grade data transfer requirements.
• Wide Operating Range: Operates at -40°C to 85°C with a 3V to 3.6V supply voltage, adapting to extreme environments and diverse power solutions.
• Ultra-Compact Package: Utilizes a 5x5mm QFN-28 package, 40% smaller than traditional solutions, ideal for compact devices.
• Multi-System Compatibility: Driverless support for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS ensures plug-and-play functionality, reducing development complexity.

Technical Specifications
