Adafruit CP2102N Friend - USB to Serial Converter

Long gone are the days of parallel and serial ports. Now USB reigns supreme! The Adafruit CP2102N Friend is a USB to serial converter breakout board featuring the high-quality CP2102N chip which supports serial data transfer up to 3Mbps for fast development.

This board is similar to the CP2104 but offers enhanced features such as faster data transfer rates, reprogrammable internal settings, RS-485 and GPIO support, and a USB-C connector replacing the older Micro B connector. It is fully compatible with Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, and other microcontrollers that use FTDI communication protocols.

• Transfer data at up to 3Mbps – faster than CP2104's 2Mbps
• Reprogrammable internal settings memory
• RS-485 and GPIO support
• Auto-reset for Arduino and ATmega328 boards
• RX/TX LEDs to monitor data transmission
• USB-C connector for modern connectivity
• Compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic with 5V power pin
• Includes male and right-angle female header pins for flexible use

Works on Linux without drivers and automatically installs drivers on Windows. For Mac OS X, drivers can be downloaded from the SiLabs website. The board measures 30mm x 18mm x 5mm and is RoHS compliant.
