PCN Details
Description of Change:
Silicon Labs is pleased to announce revision B02 of the CP2108 USB-to-Quad-UART bridge and
revision 1.1 of the corresponding datasheet for this product.
For customers using revision B01, the change to revision B02 eliminates a potential issue when data
is in the transmit FIFO and the host-side application closes and reopens the handle to the device. If
this issue occurs, the device may no longer respond to USB commands and UART communication
may not proceed. When the device enters this state, it can recover with a power-on reset, after
which the device behaves normally.
Datasheet revision 1.1 adds an additional orderable part number for revision B02 along with minor
text edits.
After the effective date of this PCN, Silicon Labs reserves the right to deliver CP2108-B02-GM to
customers ordering CP2108-B01-GM. CP2108-B01-GM is not recommended for new designs. If you
have questions about this PCN please contact your Silicon Labs sales representative. A list of Silicon
Labs sales representatives is available at www.silabs.com.
