CP2101-GMR Datasheet/PDFThe CP2101-GMR, or CP2101-General-purpose Modem Replacement, is an interface controller that bridges between USB and legacy peripheral devices. It is a replacement for legacy modems by utilizing a tool-less, easy-to-use USB virtual COM port. The CP2101-GMR is designed to enable the quick and easy integration of USB and legacy peripherals, thereby saving production time and money.
The CP2101-GMR operates at a range of 12 Mb/s as well as a range of 6 to 24 Mb/s. It also has a data wiggle prevention feature that prevents possible data corruption. A specialized impedance-matching control circuit is used to control data rate from 15 to 85 kHz, providing optimal utilization of bus bandwidth. The CP2101-GMR is said to provide “ultra low power consumption” when it is not in use.
The CP2101-GMR requires USB1.1 full speed interface to connect to a host device. This makes it compatible with all devices that utilize either USB1.1 full speed ports or USB2.0 high-performance ports. This allows it to be used with a wide variety of computers, laptops, tablet PCs, and smartphones. Additionally, the CP2101-GMR is versatile enough to support a variety of cable lengths and types, thereby eliminating the need for users to manually set the system.
The CP2101-GMR has a singular operating mode, which is called the full-mode. In full-mode, the CP2101-GMR allows for the connection of one USB device and one “classic” peripheral device. The CP2101-GMR switches the protocol between the USB and the legacy device, eliminating the need for additional circuitry. The CP2101-GMR supports custom serial protocols, so it can be used to accommodate communication between devices that have different protocols.
The CP2101-GMR utilizes a USB/Peripheral Protocol Transport Controller. This controller eliminates the need for any software or firmware to be downloaded. It supports a wide selection of host interfaces, which include PCIe, USB, PCIe/UART, I2C and SPI. The controller also supports a variety of peripheral devices, including printers, touchscreens, audio devices and others. Additionally, the CP2101-GMR can be extended for use with multi-interface applications that require simultaneous communication between two or more peripheral devices.
The CP2101-GMR is a great replacement for legacy modems and provides an easy way of integrating USB and legacy peripherals. It is highly versatile and supports a variety of applications; it is extremely cost-effective and saves production time and money. It operates at a range of 12 Mb/s and can be extended for use with multi-interface applications. It eliminates the need for any additional circuitry and supports a wide selection of host interfaces and peripheral devices, making it an ideal solution for today\'s modern businesses.
