MCP2200-I Übersicht
A USB-to-UART bridge is a protocol converter that allows microcontrollers, sensors, and legacy UART peripherals to communicate over a modern USB host. In the broader hierarchy it sits between USB class controllers (CDC) and UART transceivers (RS-232/RS-485 line drivers), absorbing the USB protocol stack entirely on-chip so the host MCU needs no firmware-side USB stack. Bridges like the MCP2200-I therefore appear in the BOM wherever an MCU lacks native USB (e.g. low-cost PIC, AVR, 8051 designs) or where a product must add a diagnostic / firmware-update COM port to an existing board.
Key features of the MCP2200-I include: integrated 12 Mbps USB 2.0 full-speed transceiver; configurable baud rate from 300 baud to 1 Mbaud; eight GP inputs/outputs; on-chip 3.3V LDO for internal logic and up to ~50 mA of external load; hardware suspend/resume support; and a dedicated SSPND pin for power management. The device enumerates as a CDC ACM class device, so on Windows, macOS, and Linux it shows up as a virtual COM port with no custom driver required. Internal EEPROM configurable via the host allows customization of VID, PID, manufacturer string, and GPIO defaults.
Typical applications are USB-to-serial debug / firmware-update ports on PIC and AVR development boards, industrial sensor nodes that stream UART telemetry to a PC, point-of-sale terminals, USB dongles for legacy equipment, and embedded hobbyist designs (Arduino, PIC development kits).
When designing with the MCP2200-I, ensure a stable 5V VBUS rail, place the 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor directly on VDD, and respect the 0.5 mA pull-up current budget on each GPIO. Because it is USB-powered, surge and ESD protection on VBUS and the data lines is recommended for harsh environments.

Typische Anwendungen
MCP2200-I ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: USB Debug / Firmware-Update COM Port for PIC and AVR Boards, Industrial Sensor Node to PC Telemetry, Point-of-Sale Terminal USB-to-Serial Adapter, USB Dongle for Retro / Legacy RS-232 Equipment, Hobbyist / Maker Development Boards, USB Barcode / Scanner Interface Board.
USB Debug / Firmware-Update COM Port for PIC and AVR Boards
The MCP2200-I's 1 Mbaud UART ceiling and CDC ACM driver model make it a near-universal USB-to-UART bridge for microcontroller boards that lack native USB. Adding it between a 5V USB VBUS rail and a PIC or AVR target provides a virtual COM port that any host terminal (Tera Term, PuTTY, minicom) can open at 115200 baud without driver installation, ideal for bootloader-based firmware updates and printf-style debug logs.
Empfohlen
Industrial Sensor Node to PC Telemetry
Industrial sensors frequently expose a UART for configuration and telemetry but the upstream PC expects USB. The MCP2200-I bridges the gap, presenting the sensor's UART as a CDC ACM COM port at 9600-115200 baud. Its -40C to +85C industrial temperature rating lets it sit on the same PCB as the sensor inside a factory-floor enclosure, and the integrated 3.3V LDO powers both the bridge and a low-current signal-conditioning front end from VBUS alone.
Empfohlen
Point-of-Sale Terminal USB-to-Serial Adapter
POS terminals and receipt printers often expose a 3.3V UART at modest baud rates. The MCP2200-I converts that UART into a USB CDC virtual COM port that connects directly to a Windows POS host without proprietary drivers. Its 8 GPIO pins can drive status LEDs, a paper-out sensor, or a cash-drawer kick signal, simplifying the BOM versus discrete USB-UART plus logic chips.
Empfohlen
USB Dongle for Retro / Legacy RS-232 Equipment
Modern PCs no longer ship with RS-232 ports but test labs, factory fixtures, and legacy instruments still expose UART at 3.3V or 5V CMOS levels. The MCP2200-I plus an external level shifter (MAX3232 or similar) creates a compact USB-to-serial dongle that enumerates as a COM port on any OS, with driver-free installation in the field. The 8 GPIO can also expose modem-control lines that the level shifter bridges to RS-232.
Empfohlen
Hobbyist / Maker Development Boards
The MCP2200-I Breakout Module and chip-down designs on Arduino shields and PIC development kits give hobbyists a low-cost USB-UART bridge that installs as a COM port on every desktop OS. With 8 GPIO and a 3.3V LDO it doubles as a generic I/O expander over USB - useful for driving relays or reading buttons from a PC without writing a USB driver on the host side.
Empfohlen
USB Barcode / Scanner Interface Board
Embedded barcode scanner modules output UART frames at 9600-115200 baud. Pairing the module with an MCP2200-I presents the scanner as a USB HID or CDC device to a kiosk or POS host, with no driver installation. The 8 GPIOs can be reassigned at runtime to drive OK/IR LEDs, trigger a buzzer on successful scan, or detect a trigger button - all coordinated over the same USB cable.

Designhinweise
The MCP2200-I draws its supply from the USB VBUS rail at 4.75V to 5.25V and includes an internal 3.3V LDO that powers the chip and can source up to ~50 mA to external circuitry. Place a 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor as close to the VDD pin as possible and a bulk 4.7 uF on VUSB if VBUS traces are long. Do not load VDD above ~50 mA - additional load should be powered from a separate 3.3V regulator. Estimated based on DS22228A electrical characteristics.
USB D+ and D+ traces should be 90 ohm differential, length-matched within 2 mm, and routed over a continuous ground plane. Keep the trace between the MCP2200-I and the USB connector under 50 mm where possible. The exposed pad variants are not used here (SOIC), so thermal dissipation is limited to the SOIC body; no copper pour is required for cooling at typical operating currents.
Do not assume the MCP2200-I is 5V tolerant on its UART lines - TXD, RXD, RTS, and CTS are 3.3V CMOS. If the host MCU operates at 5V, verify that its VIH threshold accepts 3.3V as a logic high (most modern 5V MCUs do, but some legacy 5V parts require 0.7xVCC = 3.5V). Add a 4.7 kohm pull-up on D+ to VUSB for full-speed enumeration. Do not leave the RESET pin floating in noisy environments - tie to VDD through a 10 kohm resistor if not driven by external logic.
The 8 GPIO pins have limited drive strength (a few mA sink/source per pin) and should not be used to drive relays, solenoids, or high-current LEDs directly. Use a buffer transistor (e.g. 2N7002) or logic-level MOSFET for any load above ~10 mA. The SSPND pin reflects USB suspend state and can be used to gate downstream regulators or disable external loads during host sleep, which is critical for battery-powered or bus-powered designs that need to honor USB suspend current budgets.
Compliance-Informationen
RoHS, REACH, and conflict-minerals declarations per Microchip product page. Halogen-free status not explicitly stated in the datasheet excerpt; treat as unknown. The MCP2200-I is not AEC-Q100 qualified - automotive applications should evaluate the MCP2200-I-VAO or a qualified alternative.
