Hardware Setup 2 Rev. 0.3 CP2112-EK 5. CP2112 Software Interface The CP2112 is an HID device that uses the standard HID functions available in the operating system. To facilitate this process in Windows, Silicon Labs packaged the standard HID functions into the SLABHIDDevice DLL in the CP2112 software package. The HID report structure for the CP2112 is customized for the device and is not compatible with other HID report structures, like a mouse or keyboard. AN495, “CP2112 Interface Specification” describes the custom HID report structure for the CP2112, and AN496, “CP2112 HID-to-SMBus API Specification” describes the API software functions that can be used to read or write data and control the CP2112 from the PC. The software application described in “6. CP2112 Windows Application” provides an example of how to use these functions. The CP2112 appears as an HID device in Device Manager as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2. CP2112 in Device Manager Rev. 0.3 3 CP2112-EK 6. CP2112 Windows Application The HID SMBus Example application uses the Windows CP2112 HID-to-SMBus DLL to transmit and receive data with the CP2112. The application also has access to the CP2112’s GPIO pins. Figure 3 shows a screenshot of the Windows Application. The following steps describe how to start the application and use some of its features. 1. Ensure that the hardware is connected to a Windows PC as shown in Figure 1. If the device is properly connected, the red SUSPEND LED on the CP2112 evaluation board will turn on. 2. Launch the Hid SMBus Example application, which is found by clicking StartAll ProgramsSilicon LaboratoriesCP2112 Evaluation KitHidSmbus Example. 3. In this application, you can configure the SMBus settings and GPIO pins, customize the device descriptors, and read/write data over the SMBus interface. 4. Select the appropriate device in the Connection drop down box and click Connect. 5. The Configuration tab enables setting and getting the SMBus configuration parameters. To set a parameter, modify the value that is in the corresponding text box or check/uncheck a box and click Set SMBus Config. To verify that the settings took effect, click Get SMBus Config. These configuration parameters reset to their default values when the CP2112 is reset. 4 5 Figure 3. Configuring the SMBus Interface using the Example Application 4 Rev. 0.3 CP2112-EK 6.

The Customization tab allows for programming the One-Time-Programmable (OTP) parameters of the device. These parameters can only be programmed once and cannot be changed back to their default values after being programmed. This tab has the same functionality as the CP2112SetIDs application provided with the CP2112 software package. In order for these parameters to be sucessfully programmed, a 4.7 µF capacitor must be connected between the VPP pin and ground. This capacitor is populated by default on the CP2112 Evaluation Kit board has this capacitor. See "8. Schematic" on page 12 for more information. a. The USB Customization section sets the USB parameters. Click Get to retrieve the current settings. Change the settings by modifying the text boxes and checking the box next to the parameter being modified. Click the Set button to program the device with the modified settings. The parameter will not be changed without checking the corresponding box. Perform a Get after changing any parameters to ensure that the settings updated correctly. n. The String Descriptors section enables modification of the serial strings in the CP2112. Type a string into the corresponding text box and click the Set button to modify the strings. Perform a Get after changing any parameters to ensure that the settings updated correctly. o. The Lock Byte section displays which fields have been programmed and can lock fields to prevent future modification. Any field that has been programmed will not be checked. To prevent a field from being programmed, uncheck the corresponding box and click the Set button. Perform a Get after changing any parameters to ensure that the settings updated correctly. 10a 10c 10b Figure 8. Customizing a CP2112 Device using the Example Application Rev. 0.3 9 CP2112-EK 7.

See Table 2 for the USB pin definitions. Table 2. USB Connector Pin Descriptions Pin # Description 1 VBUS 2 D- 3 D+ 4 GND (Ground) 7.3. SMBus Signals (TB1, H1) The SMBus interface terminal block and access headers are included to easily interace SMBus devices to the evaluation board. The terminal block can be used to connect wires to the board, and the access connectors can be used to connect scope probes to the SMBus interface for debugging. The signals that are accessible through these two connectors are SDA, SCL, GND, and the external pull-up voltage signal. 7.4. VDD and VIO Power Connector (J6) This header (J6) is included on the evaluation board to provide several power options. The following describes the function of each pin: Pins 1–2: Connect CP2112 VIO input (pin 5) to CP2112 VDD (Pin 6). Remove the shorting block to power VIO from an external source. Pins 3–4: Connects the main +3 V net to the CP2112 VDD (Pin 6). The main +3 V net powers the other components (eight green LEDs) on the board. 7.5. SMBus Pull-Up Voltage Connector (J7) This header (J7) is included on the evaluation board to provide power options for SMBus pull-up voltage. The following describes the function of each pin: J7[1:2]: Connects CP2112 VIO pin (Pin 5) to the 4.7 k pull-up resistors located on the evaluation board. J7[2:3]: Connects the External Pull-Up signal from TB1 (Pin 4) to the 4.7 kpull-up resistors on the evaluation board. 7.6. SUSPEND LED Connector (J8) The J8 header is used to connect the CP2112 SUSPEND pin (Pin 17) to the DS8 red LED. When the LED is on, the device has enumerated with the PC operating normally. When the LED is off, the device has not yet enumerated or is in the USB Suspend state. Rev. 0.3 11 Figure 10. CP2112 Evaluation Board Schematic CP2112-EK 8.
