1. System Overview The CP2103 is a highly-integrated USB-to-UART Bridge Controller providing a simple solution for updating RS-232/RS-485 designs to USB using a minimum of components and PCB space. The CP2103 includes a USB 2.0 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 ). No other external USB components are required. The 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. The EEPROM is programmed on-board via the USB, allowing the programming step to be easily integrated into the product manufacturing and testing process. Royalty-free Virtual COM Port (VCP) device drivers provided by Silicon Laboratories allow a CP2103-based product to appear as a COM port to PC applications. The CP2103 UART interface implements all RS-232/RS-485 signals, including control and handshaking signals; so, existing system firmware does not need to be modified. The device also features up to four GPIO signals that can be user-defined for status and control information. Support for I/O interface voltages down to 1.8 V is provided via a V IO pin. In many existing RS-232 designs, all that is required to update the design from RS-232 to USB is to replace the RS-232 level-translator with the CP2103. Direct access driver support is available through the Silicon Laboratories USBXpress driver set. Go to www.silabs.com for the latest application notes and product support information for CP2103. An evaluation kit for the CP2103 (Part Number: CP2103EK) is available. 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 complete documentation. Contact a Silicon Labs sales representatives or visit www.silabs.com to order the CP2103 Evaluation Kit. 4 Rev. 1.0

4. USB Function Controller and Transceiver The universal serial bus function controller in the CP2103 is a USB 2.0 compliant full-speed device with integrated transceiver and on-chip matching and pull-up resistors. The USB function controller manages all data transfers between the USB and the UART as well as command requests generated by the USB host controller and commands for controlling the function of the UART. The USB Suspend and Resume signals are supported for power management of both the CP2103 device as well as external circuitry. The CP2103 will enter Suspend mode when Suspend signaling is detected on the bus. Upon entering Suspend mode, the CP2103 asserts the SUSPEND and SUSPEND signals. SUSPEND and SUSPEND are also asserted after a CP2103 reset until device configuration during USB Enumeration is complete. The CP2103 exits the Suspend mode when any of the following events occurs: (1) Resume signaling is detected or generated, (2) a USB Reset signal is detected, or (3) a device reset occurs. Upon exit from Suspend mode, the SUSPEND and SUSPEND signals are de-asserted. Both SUSPEND and SUSPEND temporarily float high during a CP2103 reset. If this behavior is undesirable, a strong pulldown (10 k ) can be used to ensure SUSPEND remains low during reset. See Figure 6 for other recommended options.

Option 2: A 4.7 µf capacitor can be added if powering other devices from the on-chip regulator. Option 3: Avalanche transient voltage suppression diodes should be added for ESD protection. Option 3: Use Littlefuse p/n SP0503BAHT or equivalent. Option 4: 10 k resistor to ground to hold SUSPEND low on initial power on or device reset. Figure 6. Typical Connection Diagram Rev. 1.0 13

5. Asynchronous Serial Data Bus (UART) Interface The CP2103 UART interface consists of the TX (transmit) and RX (receive) data signals as well as the RTS, CTS, DSR, DTR, DCD, and RI control signals. The UART supports RTS/CTS, DSR/DTR, and X-On/X-Off handshaking. The UART can be programmed to support a variety of data formats and baud rates. If the Virtual COM Port drivers are used, the data format and baud rate are set during COM port configuration on the PC. If the USBXpress drivers are used, the CP2103 is configured through the USBXpress API. The available data formats and baud rates are listed in Table 9. 6. GPIO Pins The CP2103 supports four user-configurable GPIO pins for status and control information. More information regarding the configuration and use of these pins can be found in AN144: CP21xx Device Customization Guide and AN223: Port Configuration and GPIO for CP210x available at www.silabs.com. 7. Internal EEPROM Table 9. Data Formats and Baud Rates Data Bits 5, 6, 7, and 8 Stop Bits 1, 1.5 1, and 2 Parity Type None, Even, Odd, Mark, Space Baud Rates 2 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4000, 4800, 7200, 9600, 14400, 16000, 19200, 28800, 38400, 51200, 56000, 57600, 64000, 76800, 115200, 128000, 153600, 230400, 250000, 256000, 460800, 500000, 576000, 921600 3 Notes: 1. 5-bit only. 2. Additional baud rates are supported. See AN205: CP210x Baud Rate Support. 3. 7 or 8 data bits only. The CP2103 includes an internal EEPROM that may be used to customize the USB Vendor ID (VID), Product ID (PID), Product Description String, Power Descriptor, Device Release Number, and Device Serial Number as desired for OEM applications. If the EEPROM is not programmed with OEM data, the default configuration data shown in Table 10 is used. While customization of the USB configuration data is optional, it is recommended to customize the VID/PID combination. A unique VID/PID combination prevents the driver from conflicting with any other USB driver. A vendor ID can be obtained from www.usb.org, or Silicon Labs can provide a free PID for the OEM product that can be used with the Silicon Laboratories VID. It is also recommended to customize the serial number if the OEM application is one in which it is possible for multiple CP2103-based devices to be connected to the same PC. The internal EEPROM is programmed via the USB. This allows the OEM's USB configuration data and serial number to be written to the CP2103 on-board during the manufacturing and testing process. A stand-alone utility for programming the internal EEPROM is available from Silicon Labs. A library of routines provided in the form of a Windows DLL is also available. This library can be used to integrate the EEPROM programming step into custom software used by the OEM to streamline testing and serial number management during manufacturing. The EEPROM has a typical endurance of 100,000 write cycles with a data retention of 100 years. USB descriptors can be locked to prevent future modification. 14 Rev. 1.0

CP2103 Device Drivers There are two sets of device drivers available for the CP2103 devices: the Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers and the USBXpress Direct Access drivers. Only one set of drivers is necessary to interface with the device. The latest drivers are available at http://www.silabs.com/products/microcontroller/downloads.asp. 8.1. Virtual COM Port Drivers The CP2103 Virtual COM Port (VCP) device drivers allow a CP2103-based device to appear to the PC's application software as a COM port. Application software running on the PC accesses the CP2103-based device as it would access a standard hardware COM port. However, actual data transfer between the PC and the CP2103 device is performed over the USB interface. Therefore, existing COM port applications may be used to transfer data via the USB to the CP2103-based device without modifying the application. See AN197: Serial Communications Guide for the CP210x for example code for interfacing to a CP2103 using the Virtual COM drivers. 8.2. USBXpress Drivers The Silicon Laboratories USBXpress drivers provide an alternate solution for interfacing with CP2103 devices. No serial port protocol expertise is required. Instead, a simple, high-level application program interface (API) is used to provide simpler CP201x connectivity and functionality. The USBXpress for CP210x Development Kit includes Windows device drivers, Windows device driver installers and uninstallers, and a host interface function library (host API) provided in the form of a Windows Dynamic Link Library (DLL). The USBXpress driver set is recommended for new products that also include new PC software. The USBXpress interface is described in AN169: USBXpress Programmer's Guide. 8.3. Driver Customization In addition to customizing the device as described in 7. Internal EEPROM, the drivers and the drivers installation package can be also be customized. See AN220: USB Driver Customization for more information on generating customized VCP and USBXpress drivers. 8.4. Driver Certification The default drivers that are shipped with the CP2103 are Microsoft WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) certified. The certification means that the drivers have been tested by Microsoft, and their latest operating systems (XP and Vista) allow the drivers to be installed without any warnings or errors.

9. Voltage Regulator The CP2103 includes an on-chip 5 to 3 V voltage regulator. This allows the CP2103 to be configured as either a USB bus-powered device or a USB self-powered device. These configurations are shown in Figures 7 and 8. When enabled, the 3 V voltage regulator output appears on the V DD pin and can be used to power external 3 V devices. See Table 11 for the voltage regulator electrical characteristics. Alternatively, if 3 V power is supplied to the V DD pin, the CP2103 can function as a USB self-powered device with the voltage regulator disabled. For this configuration, it is recommended that the REGIN input be tied to the 3 V net to disable the voltage regulator. This configuration is shown in Figure 9. The USB max power and power attributes descriptor must match the device power usage and configuration. See AN144: CP21xx Device Customization Guide for information on how to customize USB descriptors for the CP2103. Note: It is recommended that additional decoupling capacitance (e.g., 0.1 µf in parallel with 1.0 µf) be provided on the REGIN input. Table 11.
