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. |

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. |

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.
