MCHPMCP2200-I/SO
Overview
The MCP2200-I/SO is a USB-to-UART protocol converter that enables easy USB connectivity in embedded designs by emulating a standard NRZ serial port. It integrates 8 general-purpose I/O pins and 256 bytes of user EEPROM, providing more functionality than a basic serial bridge. The device is USB 2.0 compliant and supports hardware flow control with configurable VID/PID assignments.
Why Choose This Part
The MCP2200-I/SO includes 256 bytes of non-volatile EEPROM for storing device configuration or application-specific data. It features 5V tolerant digital inputs and high-drive GPIO pins capable of 25mA, allowing it to interface directly with 5V logic and drive LEDs without external buffers. The AEC-Q100 qualification and wide operating voltage of 3.0V to 5.5V make it suitable for rugged industrial and automotive environments.
Applications
Getting Started
To begin development, use the MCP2200 Configuration Utility provided by Microchip to customize the VID, PID, and GPIO power-up states. No custom USB driver development is required as the device uses standard CDC infrastructure drivers. For hardware evaluation, the MCP2200 Breakout Module (ADM00393) provides a plug-and-play platform for testing UART and GPIO functionality.
