With the rapid proliferation of USB and HID-USB in the embedded world,
APPLICATIONS
developers are looking for painless, economical ways to embed USB connectivity
in their designs. A leading supplier of USB connectivity solutions, Silicon
Labs developed the CP21xx bridge family so that designers can add USB to
microcontroller-based applications without the cost and complexity of developing
sophisticated USB software. The CP21xx ICs require no USB expertise to deploy,
enabling developers to focus time and resources on end applications.
