CP2102 USB 2.0 to TTL UART serial converter Module – 6 Pin

Description

1. CP2102 IC: The core component of the module is the CP2102 integrated circuit, which is a USB-to-UART bridge controller. It handles the conversion of USB signals to UART serial data and vice versa.
2. USB 2.0 Interface: The module connects to your computer or host device through a USB 2.0 interface, which is standard on most modern computers. It allows for easy and high-speed data transfer.
3. TTL UART Pins: The module has six pins that interface with your target device. These pins include:
   • TXD (Transmit Data)
   • RXD (Receive Data)
   • RTS (Request to Send)
   • CTS (Clear to Send)
   • 5V (Power Supply Output)
   • GND (Ground)
4. LED Indicators: Some CP2102 modules come with built-in LEDs that indicate the status of data transmission, making it easier to debug and monitor data flow.
5. 3.3V or 5V Operation: Depending on the module, you can select either 3.3V or 5V operation to match the voltage requirements of your target device. The 5V output pin provides power to your device if needed.
6. Driver Software: You may need to install driver software on your computer to use the CP2102 module. The manufacturer typically provides these drivers for various operating systems.
7. DTR and DSR Pins: Some modules have DTR (Data Terminal Ready) and DSR (Data Set Ready) pins for hardware flow control.
