CP2102NP1174GM in Silicon Labs CP2102 / CP2104 Family
The CP2102NP1174GM is a member of Silicon Labs' highly integrated USB-to-UART Bridge Controller family. Designed to simplify the process of upgrading RS-232 designs to USB with minimal components and PCB space, these ICs include a complete USB 2.0 full-speed function controller, bridge logic, and an internal oscillator. This sub-family provides a reliable, plug-and-play solution for serial communication without the need for complex firmware development or external crystals, making it a staple for modern embedded interfaces.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the CP210x series, such as the CP2102NP1174GM versus the standard CP2102 or CP2104, typically differ in package size, pin compatibility, and the number of available GPIO pins. The CP2102NP specifically refers to updated silicon revisions that may offer improved power-on-reset circuitry or enhanced electrostatic discharge protection, ensuring higher reliability in demanding serial-to-USB bridge applications compared to earlier legacy iterations.
