Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Engineers can use the Simplicity Studio Xpress Configurator to customize the device's GPIOs and USB strings without writing firmware. Evaluation can be performed using the CP2102N-EK evaluation kit, which provides access to all pins and simple micro-USB connectivity. For hardware design, ensure the 20-QFN exposed pad is properly soldered to a ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
