Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.

Chapter 2. Installation and Operation
2.1INTRODUCTION
The MCP2200 Breakout Module is designed to demonstrate the device as an
USB-to-UART protocol converter solution.
The module is comprised of a single board and has the following features:
• Small plug-in board with DIP form factor (0.6 inches overall row spacing between
pins)
• Mini-USB conne ctor
• Access to the UART signals (Tx, Rx, RTS and CTS) and all GP signals
• PICkit™ Serial Analyzer compatible header
• 3.3 or 5V jumper selectable V
100 mA to the rest of the system. The board already provides a signal trace
between the V
the V
and the 5V pin.

2.2BOARD SETUP
Follow these steps to set up the MCP2200 Breakout Module:
1. Download the support material (PC applications and DLL libraries) that can be
found on the board’s web page, on the Microchip web site.
2. Attach the MCP2200 Breakout Module to the system that requires the
USB-to-UART conversion, using a DIP adapter or the PICkit™ Serial Analyzer
header.
3. Plug the MCP2200 Breakout Module to a PC via a USB cable.
4. In the dialog window that appears, browse for MCP2200.inf to install the driver.
The board is now set up for operation.Optional steps include the following:
5. Install the downloaded PC software.
6. Start the demo application developed for the board, or a hyperterminal-like
application, in order to get access to the virtual COM port created by the PC for
the MCP2200 device.

2.3BOARD OPERATION
The MCP2200 device is detected by a Windows®-based PC host as a composite
device. The accompanying software can be used to exercise the board’s features and
also provides a reference point for users that want to design their own applications
based on the MCP2200 device.
2.3.1MCP2200 Breakout Module Operation
The MCP2200 Breakout Module can be used with a UART-based system. The
breakout board eases the USB support addition.
The board has the following features:
• UART signals (Tx, Rx, RTS and CTS)
• 8 GP signals that can be configured for:
- GPIO functionality (digital input or output pins)
- Dedicated function pins (signaling import system states, such as USB
Configured, USB Suspend)
• Jumper selectable power suppl y: 3.3 or 5V (up to 500 mA)
• PICkit™ Serial Analyzer header - the board can be directly plugged into systems
that have this type of header. The MCP2200 Breakout Module provides the
UART-to-USB access.
• DIP form-factor (0.6 inches overall row spacing between pins)
By using the provided software and libraries, the user can create personalized PC
applications, using the breakout board as an USB-to-UART protocol converter.
