CP2103-GMR

SKYWORKS SILICON LABS · USB Converters · QFN-28-EP(5x5)

CP2103-GMR from SKYWORKS SILICON LABS, in a QFN-28-EP(5x5). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 RI input Ring Indicator modem control input (active low). Marked as optional - may be left unconnected when not used.
2 GND power_in Ground. Must be tied to ground.
3 D+ bidirectional USB D+ differential data line. Connect directly to USB connector D+ (no external series resistor required).
4 D- bidirectional USB D- differential data line. Connect directly to USB connector D- (no external series resistor required).
5 VIO power_in I/O supply voltage input, 1.8 V to VDD. Sets the logic level for UART, GPIO, and control I/O so the CP2103 can interface to sub-3.3 V hosts. Tie to VDD if a separate I/O rail is not required.
6 VDD power_in 3.0-3.6 V core supply. Also serves as the output of the on-chip 3.3 V regulator when REGIN is driven from a 5 V source (see Section 9, Voltage Regulator).
7 REGIN power_in 5 V input to the internal LDO. Tie to VBUS when running from USB bus power; leave unconnected (or tie to VDD) in self-powered operation.
8 VBUS input VBUS sense input. Connect to the USB VBUS rail; a 5 V level indicates the device is attached to a USB host.
9 RST bidirectional Active-low device reset. Open-drain output of the internal power-on-reset / VDD monitor; an external source may pull this pin low for at least 15 µs to initiate a system reset.
10 NC unconnected No connect. Leave unconnected or tie to VDD.
11 SUSPEND output Active-low suspend indicator. Driven low when the CP2103 enters the USB suspend state. Marked optional - may be left unconnected when not used.
12 SUSPEND output Active-high suspend indicator. Driven high when the CP2103 enters the USB suspend state. Marked optional - may be left unconnected when not used.
13 NC unconnected No connect. Leave unconnected or tie to VDD.
14 NC unconnected No connect. Leave unconnected or tie to VDD.
15 NC unconnected No connect. Leave unconnected or tie to VDD.
16 GPIO.3 bidirectional User-configurable digital I/O. Alternate functions (e.g., RS-485 transceiver enable, status LEDs, hardware suspend flag) are assigned via the on-chip EEPROM.
17 GPIO.2 bidirectional User-configurable digital I/O. Alternate functions (e.g., RS-485 transceiver enable, status LEDs) are assigned via the on-chip EEPROM.
18 GPIO.1 bidirectional User-configurable digital I/O. Alternate functions (e.g., RS-485 transceiver enable, status LEDs) are assigned via the on-chip EEPROM.
19 GPIO.0 bidirectional User-configurable digital I/O. Alternate functions (e.g., RS-485 transceiver enable, status LEDs) are assigned via the on-chip EEPROM.
20 NC unconnected No connect. Leave unconnected or tie to VDD.
21 NC unconnected No connect. Leave unconnected or tie to VDD.
22 CTS input Clear-To-Send modem control input (active low). Marked optional - may be left unconnected when hardware handshaking is not used.
23 RTS output Request-To-Send modem control output (active low). Marked optional - may be left unconnected when hardware handshaking is not used.
24 RXD input Asynchronous UART receive data input.
25 TXD output Asynchronous UART transmit data output.
26 DSR input Data-Set-Ready modem control input (active low). Marked optional - may be left unconnected when not used.
27 DTR output Data-Terminal-Ready modem control output (active low). Marked optional - may be left unconnected when not used.
28 DCD input Data-Carrier-Detect modem control input (active low). Marked optional - may be left unconnected when not used.
EP SGND power_in Signal ground / exposed center pad of the QFN-28 package. Must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for both electrical ground return and thermal dissipation.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
cp2103-gmr.step 313 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
cp2103-gmr-etched.step 2.3 MB You want the part with CP2103-GMR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 580 faces against 182 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
