CP2102C のご紹介：Our New Addition to the USB Bridge Family

At Silicon Labs, we are committed to simplifying and elevating the developer experience with the use of cutting-edge technologies, like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, but we can’t forget about more established technologies like USB. Today, we are excited to introduce the newest member of our USB Bridge portfolio: the CP2102C. This innovative product is designed to maximize ease of use, making it an ideal solution for a diverse range of applications.

CP2102C USB-to-UART Bridge Features

The CP2102C is designed to enhance connectivity and simplify the integration of embedded systems with USB. This highly integrated, single-chip USB-to-UART bridge effortlessly upgrades UART designs to USB, offering seamless compatibility with standard CDC (Communication Device Class) drivers across major operating systems, including Windows, Mac, and Linux, eliminating the need for custom driver installation. It also supports USB-C and requires no firmware development. Additionally, it also boasts an integrated USB transceiver, integrated clock, USB 2.0 full-speed compatibility, and data transfer rates of up to 3 Mbaud, all while operating at a low current of just 9.5 mA.

Our CP210x USB-to-UART bridge products are high-performance and cost-effective solutions designed to accelerate time-to-market. These products come with a comprehensive design ecosystem, including royalty-free driver suites, crystal-less operation, in-system programming memory, and compact package sizes. These attributes help reduce costs, simplify design processes, and shorten development timelines for developers.

USB Bridges Ideal for Server Applications

Our USB bridges, including the CP2102N, CP2105, and CP2108 aim to deliver solutions that meet the evolving needs of developers and have been celebrated as best-in-class designs, setting a high benchmark for performance and reliability. Widely used in server applications, our CP210x bridges offer efficient data conversion, seamlessly converting USB signals to UART signals. This capability is crucial for enabling servers to communicate with various peripherals, such as sensors and modems, that rely on UART for data transmission.

In data center environments, these controllers replace traditional RS232 interfaces with USB, providing a more modern and efficient way to monitor and manage server hardware. This is particularly beneficial in GPU trays, where multiple servers and peripherals need to be managed simultaneously.

Additionally, the CP2105 and CP2108 controllers facilitate debugging and configuration processes. They serve as a bridge between the UART debug ports of processors, and the USB ports used by technicians and IT personnel, allowing for easy access to logs and configuration settings.

The high integration and reliability of these controllers make them a preferred choice in server environments. The CP2108, for instance, is a highly integrated USB-to-Quad-UART Bridge Controller, providing a simple solution for updating RS-232/RS-485 designs to USB using a minimum of components and PCB space. This makes it a reliable choice in GPU trays where robust and efficient communication is critical.

Use Our Preferred USB Bridges

We are excited about the possibilities our USB Bridges opens up for developers. With their ease of integration, high performance, and extensive driver support, these devices are a preferred choice for developers across multiple industries and help reduce costs, simplify design processes, and shorten development timelines, making them a winning choice in server applications, especially in GPU trays. Whether you are designing consumer electronics, industrial automation systems, or any other application that requires USB connectivity, our USB Bridges offer the reliability and functionality needed to bring your projects to life.
