Abstract The CP2103 is a highly integrated USB-to-UART bridge controller providing a simple solution for updating RS-232/RS-485 designs to USB using a minimal external component count. This paper examines the driver stack, operating system integration, virtual COM port (VCP) emulation, direct access via API, and low-level USB descriptors that govern driver behavior across Windows, Linux, and macOS. 1. Introduction The CP2103 (Silicon Labs, now part of Skyworks Solutions) is a member of the CP210x family. Unlike traditional UART controllers, it appears to the host as a self-contained USB device. No firmware development is required on the bridge; instead, the host OS loads a device driver that creates a virtual serial port. cp210x
