1.1
Supported Operating Systems
1.3.2
The following operating systems are supported:
• Windows XP/Vista/7
• Linux
• Mac OS
SPI MODULE POWER-UP
CONFIGURATION
Default parameters:
• 1 Mbit
• 4 bytes to transfer per SPI transaction
• GP1 as Chip Select line
1.1.1
ENUMERATION
The MCP2210 will enumerate as a USB device after
Power-on Reset (POR). The device enumerates as a
Human Interface Device (HID) only.
1.4
USB Protocol Controller
The USB controller in the MCP2210 is full-speed USB
2.0 compliant.
• HID only device used for:
- SPI transfers
- I/O control
- EEPROM access
- Chip configuration manipulation
• 128-byte buffer to handle data for SPI transfers
- 64-byte transmit
- 64-byte receive
• Fully configurable VID, PID assignments, string
descriptors (stored on-chip) and chip power-up
settings (default chip settings and SPI transfer
parameters)
• Bus powered or self-powered
1.1.1.1
Human Interface Device (HID)
The MCP2210 enumerates as an HID, so the device
can be configured and all the other functionalities can
be controlled. A DLL package that facilitates I/O control
through a custom interface is supplied by Microchip
and is available on the product landing page.
1.2
Control Module
The control module is the heart of the MCP2210. All
other modules are tied together and controlled via the
control module. The control module manages the data
transfers between the USB and the SPI, as well as
command requests generated by the USB host
controller, and commands for controlling the function of
the SPI and I/O.
1.4.1
DESCRIPTORS
1.2.1
SPI INTERFACE
The control module interfaces to the SPI and USB
modules.
1.2.2
INTERFACING TO THE DEVICE
The MCP2210 can be accessed for reading and writing
via USB host commands. The device cannot be
accessed and controlled via the SPI interface.
The string descriptors are stored internally in the
MCP2210 and they can be changed so when the chip
enumerates, the host gets the customer’s own product
and manufacturer names. They can be customized to
the user’s needs by using the Microchip provided con-
figuration utility or a custom built application that will
send the proper USB commands for storing the new
descriptors into the chip.
1.4.2
USB EVENTS
1.3
SPI Module
The MCP2210 SPI module provides the MOSI, MISO
and SCK signals to the outside world. The module has
the ability to control the GP pins (as Chip Select) only if
these pins are configured for Chip Select operation.
The MCP2210 provides support for signaling important
USB-related events such as:
• USB Suspend and Resume – these states are
signaled on the GP2, if the pin is configured for its
dedicated function
- USB Suspend mode is entered when a
suspend signaling event is detected on the
USB bus
- USB Resume is signaled when one of the
following events is occurring:
a) Resume signaling is detected or generated
b) A USB Reset signal is detected
c) A device Reset occurs
• USB device enumerated successfully (this state is
signaled if the GP4 is configured for its dedicated
function)
• USB Low-Power mode
1.3.1
SPI MODULE FEATURES
The SPI module has the following configurable
features:
• Bit rates
• Delays
• Chip Select pin assignments (up to 9 Chip Select
lines)
All the above features are available for customization
using certain USB commands.

USB Transceiver
FIGURE 1-1:
The MCP2210 has a built-in, USB 2.0, full-speed
transceiver internally connected to the USB module.
The USB transceiver obtains power from the V
USB
pin,
which is internally connected to a 3.3V internal
regulator. The best electrical signal quality is obtained
when V
USB
is locally bypassed with a high-quality
ceramic capacitor.
The internal 3.3V regulator draws power from the V
DD
pin. In certain scenarios, where V
DD
is lower than
3.3V+ internal LDO dropout, the V
USB
pin must be tied
to an external regulated 3.3V. This will allow the USB
transceiver to work correctly, while the I/O voltage in
the rest of the system can be lower than 3.3V. As an
example, in a system where the MCP2210 is used and
the I/O required is of 2.2V, the V
DD
of the chip will be
tied to the 2.2V digital power rail, while the V
USB
pin
must be connected to a regulated 3.3V power supply.

INTERNAL PULL-UP RESISTORS
The provided V
DD
voltage has a direct influence on the
voltage levels present on the GPIO and SPI module
pins (GP8-GP0, MOSI, MISO and SCK). When V
DD
is
5V, all of these pins will have a logical ‘1’ around 5V
with the variations specified in
Section 4.1 “DC Char-
acteristics”.
For applications that require a 3.3V logical ‘1’ level,
V
DD
must be connected to a power supply providing
the 3.3V voltage. In this case, the internal USB
transceiver LDO cannot provide the required 3.3V
power. It is necessary to also connect the V
USB
pin of
the MCP2210 to the 3.3V power supply rail. This way,
the USB transceiver is powered up directly from the
3.3V power supply.
The MCP2210 device has built-in pull-up resistors
designed to meet the requirements for full-speed USB.
1.5.2
MCP2210 POWER OPTIONS
The following are the main power options for the
MCP2210:
• USB Bus Powered (5V)
• Self Powered (from 3.3V to 5V), while the V
USB
pin is supplied with 3.3V (regulated). If the V
DD
is
powered with 5V, then the V
USB
will be powered
by the internal regulator and the V
USB
pin will
need only a decoupling capacitor
1.5.2.1
Internal Power Supply Details
MCP2210 offers various options for power supply. To
meet the required USB signaling levels, MCP2210
device incorporates an internal LDO used solely by the
USB transceiver, in order to present the correct D+/D
voltage levels.
Figure 1-1
shows the internal connections of the USB
transceiver LDO in relation with the V
DD
power supply
rail. The output of the USB transceiver LDO is tied to
the V
USB
line.
A capacitor connected to the V
USB
pin is required if the
USB transceiver LDO provides the 3.3V supply to the
transceiver.
1.5.2.2
USB Bus Powered (5V)
In Bus Power Only mode, the entire power for the
application is drawn from the USB (see
Figure 1-2).
This is effectively the simplest power method for the
device.
