MCP2200-I-MQVAO 개요

The Microchip Technology MCP2200-I-MQVAO is a USB 2.0 to UART protocol converter with integrated GPIO, delivered in a 20-pin VQFN (5x5 mm) package with exposed pad. It bridges a standard UART interface to a full-speed USB 2.0 connection and enumerates as a Human Interface Device (HID), eliminating the need for custom kernel drivers on the host PC.

A USB-to-UART bridge is a category of interface IC (part of the broader USB bridge / serial converter family) that translates USB packet traffic into a simple asynchronous serial stream. These devices let legacy UART-based microcontrollers, sensors, and modules communicate with modern computers that no longer expose physical serial ports, forming a key layer between embedded systems and host-side software in the interface IC hierarchy.

Key features include integrated USB termination resistors, which reduce the external bill of materials by removing the need for discrete pull-up and termination components; 256 bytes of on-chip user EEPROM for storing custom VID/PID and configuration data; and four general-purpose I/O pins that can be toggled by the host for status LEDs, resets, or mode control. Microchip supplies a DLL and configuration utility, so I/O control and device setup require no firmware development on the converter itself.

Architecturally, the MCP2200 handles USB enumeration, endpoint management, and packet-to-byte translation autonomously, appearing to the host as a standard HID-class device. Because HID drivers are built into Windows, Linux, and macOS, deployment is driverless. The UART side operates with standard asynchronous framing, and the device supports baud rate configuration via the Microchip configuration tool.

Typical applications include adding USB connectivity to MCU boards that only expose UART, debug consoles for embedded Linux and FPGA boards, factory automation and point-of-sale equipment, and configuration interfaces for industrial sensors. The 20-VQFN footprint suits compact designs where board area is limited.

Design consideration: the MCP2200 enumerates as HID rather than CDC/ACM (virtual COM port), so host software must speak the Microchip HID protocol or use the supplied DLL rather than a standard serial port API; plan the PC-side software stack accordingly.

This page adds value beyond the manufacturer datasheet by consolidating distributor availability, drop-in alternative analysis, comparison tables, and practical design notes in one place.

일반적인 애플리케이션

MCP2200-I-MQVAO 적합 용도: 6 애플리케이션s: Adding USB Connectivity to MCU Boards, Embedded Debug and Console Interfaces, Industrial Automation and Field Equipment, Point-of-Sale and Retail Terminals, Sensor and IoT Gateway Configuration Ports, Test and Measurement Instrument Panels.

🔧

Adding USB Connectivity to MCU Boards

The MCP2200 fits this application because its UART-side interface connects directly to any MCU TX/RX pair without protocol translation firmware, and the integrated USB termination resistors remove two to three external components that competing bridges require on the USB D+/D- lines. In a typical design the MCU UART runs at the configured baud rate while the MCP2200 handles USB 2.0 full-speed enumeration, packetization, and buffering autonomously. Because it enumerates as HID, end users plug in the board and communicate immediately on Windows, Linux, and macOS with zero driver installation - a significant field-deployment benefit. Trade-off: host software must use the Microchip DLL or HID API rather than a standard COM-port API, so plan the PC-side application accordingly. The 20-VQFN 5x5 mm footprint suits compact microcontroller boards where a full USB bridge chip plus crystal would not fit.

🖥️

Embedded Debug and Console Interfaces

Debug consoles benefit directly from the MCP2200's driverless HID enumeration: an engineer attaches a development board to any office or lab PC and gets an immediate UART console link without installing vendor drivers, which matters in locked-down corporate environments without admin rights. The device translates USB packets to asynchronous serial bytes transparently, so bootloaders, U-Boot, and FPGA soft-core consoles work unchanged. The four GPIO pins are commonly used to drive a target reset line or a bootloader-entry signal, letting the host restart the target from the debug tool. The 256-byte EEPROM stores a custom serial number per board, so multiple boards on one host keep stable device identities. Performance consideration: HID polling limits sustained throughput versus CDC-class bridges, so it suits console traffic better than bulk data streaming.

🏭

Industrial Automation and Field Equipment

In industrial automation, legacy equipment frequently exposes only a UART service port while modern service laptops have USB only - the MCP2200 bridges exactly this gap. Its HID-class, driverless operation is valuable on factory-floor PCs managed by IT where driver installation is restricted. The 256-byte EEPROM allows a custom VID/PID so service software can auto-detect the correct tool among many USB devices plugged into the same host. The four GPIO channels can switch status LEDs or read a door-interlock signal reported alongside the serial stream. The 20-VQFN exposed-pad package provides good thermal and ground connection for noise-prone factory environments. Performance consideration: verify baud rate and isolation requirements; the MCP2200 provides no galvanic isolation, so an external isolator should be added for long or noisy field wiring.

🧩

Point-of-Sale and Retail Terminals

Point-of-sale terminals, receipt printers, and barcode scanner bases historically used RS-232 UART links; the MCP2200 gives designers a low-component-count path to USB while reusing the existing UART firmware. Integrated USB termination resistors reduce BOM cost across high-volume retail hardware, and HID enumeration means plug-and-play setup on standard POS operating systems without per-device driver installation - reducing support calls. The custom VID/PID stored in the 256-byte EEPROM lets POS software enumerate the exact device type reliably on shared USB hubs. The GPIO pins handle peripheral signals such as a cash-drawer kick line or status LED. The compact 20-VQFN (5x5 mm) package fits dense terminal PCBs. Trade-off: HID throughput suits command/response POS traffic; for heavy image or receipt-bitmap streaming, evaluate a CDC-class bridge instead.

🌐

Sensor and IoT Gateway Configuration Ports

IoT gateways and sensor nodes typically ship with a sealed enclosure and one service USB port; the MCP2200 turns that port into a UART configuration channel to the node's main MCU or radio module. The four GPIO pins can hold a module in bootloader mode or switch the node between normal and service power domains, all controlled from a host configuration utility through the Microchip DLL. The 256-byte EEPROM assigns each unit a unique serial number, letting fleet-management software distinguish thousands of deployed gateways on shared test stations. Driverless HID operation simplifies certification on Windows and Linux gateways. The 20-VQFN exposed-pad package with its ground paddle supports the ground integrity expected in RF-adjacent designs. Performance consideration: keep configuration traffic modest, since HID-class polling caps sustained bandwidth.

🔬

Test and Measurement Instrument Panels

Bench instruments, dongles, and calibration adapters use the MCP2200 as a compact USB-to-UART front end for command/response control from PC software. The HID classification keeps the instrument driverless across lab PCs, while the 256-byte EEPROM stores calibration metadata or a device serial number that the instrument software reads over the same USB link. The four GPIO channels drive front-panel LEDs or select attenuator relays in coordination with the serial command stream, removing the need for a separate USB-GPIO chip. The 20-VQFN 5x5 mm footprint allows placement right at the rear-panel USB connector, shortening the D+/D- traces, which the integrated termination resistors make especially easy since no external termination network is required. Trade-off: HID polling latency is acceptable for instrument commands, not for high-rate waveform streaming.

What is the MCP2200-I-MQVAO?
The MCP2200-I-MQVAO is a Microchip Technology USB 2.0 to UART protocol converter with GPIO, supplied in a 20-pin VQFN exposed-pad (5x5 mm) package. It adds USB connectivity to applications that have a UART interface, integrates the USB termination resistors to reduce external component count, and includes 256 bytes of user EEPROM. According to the Microchip MCP2200 datasheet (document 22228A), the device enumerates as a HID-class USB device.
Does the MCP2200 require a driver on the host PC?
No, the MCP2200 does not require a custom driver. Because it enumerates as a USB HID (Human Interface Device), the built-in HID drivers in Windows, Linux, and macOS handle communication automatically. Host software accesses the device through the Microchip-supplied DLL or a generic HID API rather than a virtual COM port, since the MCP2200 is HID-class rather than CDC/ACM-class.
What is the difference between MCP2200-I-MQVAO and MCP2200-I-MQ?
The MCP2200-I-MQVAO and MCP2200-I/MQ are the same silicon in the same 20-VQFN (5x5 mm) package and are functionally and pin-to-pin identical; the MQVAO ordering code is a separate commercial listing used by distributors. Both are USB 2.0 to UART converters with 256-byte EEPROM and GPIO. Either code can be used interchangeably at the board level - verify reel/label requirements with your distributor when ordering.
How much user EEPROM does the MCP2200 have?
The MCP2200 integrates 256 bytes of on-chip user EEPROM, according to the Microchip product page. This memory stores custom USB descriptors such as VID/PID, vendor and product strings, and serial number, allowing one design to present multiple USB identities. The EEPROM is programmed through the Microchip configuration utility over USB - no external programmer is required.
What is the price of MCP2200-I-MQVAO?
As of 2026-10-20, the MCP2200-I-MQVAO is listed with distributor stock (Heisener shows 5,280 pieces in stock) but exact unit pricing is quoted on request at several distributors. Typical USB-to-UART converters of this class fall in the low single-digit USD range at qty 1, with meaningful discounts at 100+ pieces. Check the live XAIPART tier table on this page for current quantity-break pricing.
Where can I buy MCP2200-I-MQVAO online?
The MCP2200-I-MQVAO is available from DigiKey (order code 150-MCP2200-I/MQVAO-ND, stock page 8323455), Mouser, and Heisener, which reported 5,280 pieces in stock as of October 2026 with lead time to be confirmed. XAIPART also supplies this part - request a quote directly on this page for volume pricing and lead-time confirmation.
What is the best drop-in replacement for MCP2200-I-MQVAO?
The best drop-in replacement is the MCP2200-I/MQ, which uses identical silicon in the same 20-VQFN (5x5 mm) exposed-pad package with pin-to-pin compatibility - no PCB or firmware changes are needed. Cross-brand parts such as the FTDI FT232 family or SiLabs CP2102 family are functionally similar USB-to-UART bridges but use different pinouts and packages, so they are not drop-in replacements and require PCB redesign.
MCP2200 vs FT232RL - which should I choose?
Choose the MCP2200 when you need a driverless HID-class USB-to-UART bridge with integrated USB termination resistors and 4 GPIO channels in a compact VQFN; choose the FTDI FT232RL when you require a virtual COM port (CDC/VCP) presentation or higher baud rates for throughput-heavy links. The MCP2200 appears as HID, so PC software must use the Microchip DLL or HID API; the FT232RL appears as a standard COM port, simplifying legacy serial software integration.
Is the MCP2200 suitable for adding USB to a microcontroller board?
Yes, the MCP2200 is purpose-built for adding USB connectivity to microcontroller boards that only expose a UART. Its integrated USB termination resistors eliminate external termination components, the HID enumeration means no driver installation for end users, and the 4 GPIO pins can drive status LEDs or reset lines. The 20-VQFN (5x5 mm) footprint fits compact boards, and the 256-byte EEPROM stores custom USB identity data.
Is the MCP2200 a virtual COM port device?
No, the MCP2200 is not a CDC/ACM virtual COM port device. It enumerates as a USB HID class device, which is why it works driverless across Windows, Linux, and macOS. Host applications must communicate through the Microchip-supplied DLL, which provides I/O control through a custom interface, or through generic HID libraries. If your host software requires a standard COM port API, a CDC-class converter is a better fit.
Where can I download the MCP2200 datasheet PDF?
The official MCP2200 datasheet is available from Microchip Technology at ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/22228A.pdf (document 22228A). It covers USB 2.0 to UART protocol operation, GPIO configuration, EEPROM usage, electrical characteristics, and the 20-VQFN package drawing. Octopart also hosts the datasheet PDF, but the Microchip website should be treated as the authoritative source for the latest revision.
What are the key specifications of MCP2200-I-MQVAO that engineers should know?
Key specifications: USB 2.0 to UART protocol converter with GPIO; HID-class USB device for driverless operation; 256-byte integrated user EEPROM; integrated USB termination resistors; 20-VQFN exposed-pad package, 5x5 mm; surface mount; supported by a Microchip DLL and configuration utility. Source: Microchip product page and datasheet 22228A. Confirm supply voltage, baud rate range, and temperature range against the latest datasheet revision before finalizing a design.
Is MCP2200-I-MQVAO in stock and what is the lead time?
Yes, stock is available: Heisener reported 5,280 pieces of MCP2200-I-MQVAO in stock as of the October 2026 listing, with lead time listed as to be confirmed and estimated delivery via expedited shipping of roughly one week. DigiKey and Mouser also list the part for online order. For XAIPART volume orders, request a quote on this page and we will confirm exact allocation and lead time.
What is the Microchip equivalent for MCP2200 in other vendors' ecosystems?
Functionally similar cross-brand USB-to-UART bridges include the FTDI FT232R series and the Silicon Labs CP2102 series. However, none of these are pin-compatible drop-in replacements for the MCP2200 in a 20-VQFN package - they use different packages (SSOP-28/QFN-32 for FT232R, QFN-28 for CP2102) and pinouts, so adopting them requires PCB layout changes. Within Microchip, the MCP2200-I/MQ is the true drop-in alternate ordering code.
How is the MCP2200 configured and can GPIO be controlled from software?
The MCP2200 is configured entirely from the host side over USB. Because the device enumerates as an HID, a configuration utility supplied by Microchip sets UART baud rate, GPIO direction, and USB descriptor data stored in the 256-byte EEPROM, and the same HID interface allows the host to toggle the GPIO pins at runtime. A DLL provided by Microchip facilitates I/O control through a custom interface, so no firmware programming or external programmer is involved.

선택 가이드

Choose the MCP2200-I-MQVAO when you need a compact, driverless USB-to-UART bridge for command/response traffic: its HID enumeration works with no driver installation, its integrated USB termination resistors shrink the BOM, and its 256-byte EEPROM plus 4 GPIOs handle custom USB identity and simple control signals without extra chips. If your host software requires a virtual COM port (CDC/ACM) API or high sustained throughput for streaming, evaluate an FTDI FT232RL or Silicon Labs CP2102 instead - both are functionally similar but NOT drop-in compatible, requiring PCB redesign due to different packages and pinouts. If the 20-VQFN ordering code is unavailable, the MCP2200-I/MQ is identical silicon in the identical package and can be substituted directly. For CAN-bus designs, the MCP2515 is the complementary Microchip part, not an alternative.

주요 차별점

  • Driverless HID enumeration (vs FT232RL (FTDI))
  • Integrated USB termination resistors (vs CP2102 (Silicon Labs))
  • On-chip 256-byte user EEPROM with GPIO (vs MCP2515-E/SO)

설계 노트

Keep the D+ and D- USB traces as short as possible and route them as a matched pair with 90-ohm differential impedance where the stack-up allows. Because the MCP2200 integrates the USB termination resistors, do NOT add external pull-up or termination resistors on D+/D- - duplicating termination is a common layout error that breaks full-speed enumeration. Place 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor close to the VDD pin per the datasheet typical application circuit.

The most frequent integration surprise is the HID device class: the MCP2200 does not appear as a virtual COM port (CDC/ACM), so legacy software written against a serial-port API will not see it. Host code must use the Microchip-supplied DLL or a generic HID library. If a COM-port presentation is mandatory for your software ecosystem, select a CDC-class converter instead before committing the PCB footprint.

The 20-VQFN exposed pad must be soldered to a grounded thermal land pattern with an array of thermal vias - the exposed pad is the primary ground connection, and relying on perimeter pins alone degrades both grounding and EMI performance. The 5x5 mm QFN requires a properly reflowed paste stencil; hand-soldering QFN pads reliably is difficult, so plan for reflow assembly. Add vias under the UART traces to keep the return path continuous.

Estimated: budget supply current for the device plus USB bus-powered operation per the datasheet electrical characteristics; confirm the exact supply current figure and VDD range from the latest Microchip datasheet before finalizing the regulator sizing. Place local decoupling at the VDD pin, and if the board is USB bus-powered ensure the total board current stays within the USB 2.0 unit-load budget for the configured device class.
