Supported Operating Systems
The following operating systems are supported:
• Windows® – XP (SP3), Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1
• Linux® – any distribution with support for CDC
and HID classes
• Mac OS® – all versions – beginning with 10.7
1.1.1
ENUMERATION
The MCP2221 enumerates as a composite USB device
after Power-on Reset (POR). The device enumerates
as both a Human Interface Device (HID) for I2C, GPIO
control, and as CDC for the USB-to-UART converter.
1.1.1.1
USB HID
1.3.1
GET/SET LINE CODING
The GET_LINE_CODING and SET_LINE_CODING
commands are used to read and set the UART
parameters while in operation. For example, terminal
applications (e.g., Putty, RealTerm, Hyperterminal,
etc.) send the SET_LINE_COMMAND when connecting
to the port. The MCP2221 responds by setting the baud
rate only.
The other parameters (Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits)
remain unchanged.
Note:
MCP2221 supports only eight Data bits,
no Parity, and one Stop bit.
1.3.1.1
Rounding Errors
The MCP2221 enumerates as an HID, so the device
can be configured, while the I2C and GPIO can be
controlled. A DLL package, with example applications
and tools, is supplied by Microchip on the device web
page on the Microchip web site, www.microchip.com.
Primary baud rate settings (with associated rounding
errors) are shown in Table 1-2.

UART Interface
The MCP2221 UART interface consists of the TX and
RX data signals.
The UART is configurable for several baud rates. The
available baud rates are listed in Table 1-2.

ACCESSING THE DEVICE
The MCP2221 can be accessed for reading and writing
via USB host commands. The device cannot be
accessed or controlled via the UART interface.

Bus-Matrix Module
The Bus-Matrix module is the heart of the MCP2221.
All other modules are tied together and controlled via
the Bus-Matrix module. This module manages the data
transfers between the USB and the UART, the I2C
Master module, as well as the command requests
generated by the USB host controller and commands
for controlling the function of the UART, GPIO, ADC,
DAC and Clock Output.
1.2.1
If baud rates other than the ones shown in the table are
used, the error percentage can be calculated using
Equation 1-1 to find the actual baud rate.

CUSTOM BAUD RATES
Custom baud rates are configured by sending the
SET_LINE_CODING USB command. See Section 2.0
“USB Enumeration Process” for more information.

Device Configuration
FIGURE 1-1:
The MCP2221 keeps all the essential device
configuration settings stored in Flash memory.
Power-up Reset
Device configuration settings affect the way the
MCP2221 behaves at run time.
The settings are stored into the Flash memory on the
device. Some of the settings are also copied into
SRAM at Power-Up/Reset.
Copy FLASH Chip and
GP settings to SRAM
These device configuration settings reside in the
following two distinct areas of Flash memory:
• Chip Settings
The Chip Settings area stores the key MCP2221
parameters – USB parameters, ADC/DAC
reference voltage choice, start-up DAC value,
Clock Reference output (CLKR) frequency and
duty cycle values.
• GP Settings
The GP Settings area stores the GP designation
settings. For GP settings that are assigned to
GPIO output operation, output values (logic 1 or 0)
are also specified.

SRAM settings
Even though the MCP2221 places a partial copy of the
Chip Settings in SRAM, the following Chip Settings
always reside in Flash:
• USB Manufacturer/Product and Serial Number
descriptors
• USB VID and PID pair
• USB options (e.g., the requested amount of
current that is presented to the USB host during
the USB enumeration process)
1.4.1
POWER-UP RESET DEVICE
CONFIGURATION BEHAVIOR
At Power-up Reset, the MCP2221 configures the
device options (GP designation, special function pins
parameters and USB enumeration options) according
to the Flash settings. Then, the Flash Chip Settings and
GP Settings are loaded into SRAM to allow for their
temporary modification at run time.
Chip Settings of the Device Configuration Flash are
copied partially into SRAM. Only the run-time-modifiable
parameters are copied into SRAM.
GP Settings of the Device Configuration Flash (GP
settings area) are copied entirely into the SRAM. By
copying the GP settings completely into SRAM, the
user is allowed to completely change the GP
designation at run time.
The SRAM copy of the settings can be altered at run
time in order to change certain device behavior, e.g.,
GP designation (the GPs can be re-assigned for a
different type of operation than the one assigned at
Power-up) and special parameters (DAC value,
ADC/DAC voltage references, Clock output value).
2014-2017 Microchip Technology Inc.
The SRAM settings (GP and partial Chip Settings) can
be modified through USB HID commands and they will
have an effect on the following device features:
• GP pin designation (switch between GPIO,
dedicated or special functions modes)
• GPIO direction and output value (only for GPIO
outputs) – for the GPs assigned to work in GPIO
mode
• Clock Output duty cycle and value – if GP1 is
assigned for CLKR mode (Clock Reference
output mode), by modifying the SRAM settings,
the clock frequency and duty cycle can be
changed at run time
• DAC value and voltage reference used – the DAC
value setting as well as the voltage reference
used for it are stored in SRAM settings and they
can be changed at run time. Through this
mechanism, at run time the user can change the
DAC value, as well as the voltage reference.
• ADC voltage reference value – the voltage
reference used for ADC conversions can be
changed by altering its corresponding SRAM
setting
• Interrupt-on-change (IOC) detector settings – if
GP1 is assigned for IOC mode, the SRAM
settings are used for setting up the triggers used
for external interrupt detection (positive or
negative edge detection, or both)

1.5
USB Module (HID, CDC and
Transceiver Modules)
The USB HID and CDC modules in the MCP2221 are
full-speed USB 2.0-compliant.
• Composite device (CDC + HID):
- CDC: USB-to-UART Communications
- HID: I2C Transactions, GPIO Control,
Configuration and Miscellaneous Operations
(ADC, DAC, Clock Output)
• 128-byte buffer to handle data throughput at any
UART Baud Rate:
- 64-Byte Transmit
- 64-Byte Receive
• Fully Configurable VID and PID Assignments and
Descriptors (stored on-chip)
• Bus-Powered or Self-Powered
1.5.1
DESCRIPTORS
During configuration, the supplied PC interface stores
the descriptors in the MCP2221.
1.5.2
SUSPEND AND RESUME
The USB Suspend and Resume signals are supported
for power management of the MCP2221. The device
enters Suspend mode when Suspend Signaling is
detected on the bus.
The MCP2221 exits Suspend mode when any of the
following events occur:
• Resume Signaling is detected or generated
• A USB Reset signal is detected
• A device Reset occurs
1.6
USB Transceiver
The MCP2221 has a built-in USB 2.0 full-speed
transceiver internally connected to the USB module.
The USB transceiver obtains power from the VUSB pin,
which is internally connected to the 3.3V regulator. The
best electrical signal quality is obtained when VUSB is
locally bypassed with a high-quality ceramic capacitor.
1.6.1
INTERNAL PULL-UP RESISTORS
The MCP2221 devices have built-in pull-up resistors
designed to meet the requirements for full-speed USB.
1.6.2
MCP2221 POWER OPTIONS
The following are the main power options for the
MCP2221:
• USB Bus-Powered (5V)
• 3.3V Self-Powered
1.6.2.1
Internal Power Supply Details
MCP2221 offers various options for power supply. To
meet the required USB signaling levels, the MCP2221
incorporates an internal LDO that is used solely by the
USB transceiver to present the correct D+/D- voltage
levels.
Figure 1-2 shows the internal connections of the USB
transceiver LDO in relation to the VDD power supply
rail. The output of the USB transceiver LDO is tied to
the VUSB line. A capacitor connected to the VUSB pin is
required if the USB transceiver LDO provides the 3.3V
supply to the transceiver.

MCP2221
The provided VDD voltage has a direct influence on the
voltage levels present on the GPIO and UART TX/RX
pins. When VDD is 5V, all of these pins will have a
logical ‘1’ around 5V with the variations specified in
Section 4.1 “DC Characteristics”.
For applications that require a 3.3V logical ‘1’ level,
VDD 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 VUSB pin of
the MCP2221 to the 3.3V power supply rail. This way,
the USB transceiver is powered up directly from the
3.3V power supply.
1.6.2.2
Figure 1-4 shows a circuit where MCP2221’s internal
LDO is used to provide 3.3V to the USB transceiver.
The voltage on the VDD affects the voltage levels onto
the UART and GPIO pins. With VDD at 5V, these pins
will have a logic ‘1’ of 5V with the variations specified in
Section 4.1 “DC Characteristics”.
FIGURE 1-4:
USB Bus-Powered (5V)
In Bus Power Only mode, all power for the application
is drawn from the USB (Figure 1-3). This is effectively
the simplest power method for the device.

In order to meet the inrush current requirements of the

limiting is required. For more details on Inrush Current
Limiting, search for that subject in the latest “Universal

Transceiver
According to the USB 2.0 specification, all USB devices
must also support a Low-Power Suspend mode. In the
USB Suspend mode, devices must consume no more
than 500 μA (or 2.5 mA for high-powered devices that
are remote wake-up capable) from the 5V VBUS line of
the USB cable.
The host signals the USB device to enter Suspend
mode by stopping all USB traffic to that device for more
than 3 ms.
The USB bus provides a 5V voltage. However, the USB
transceiver requires 3.3V for the signaling (on D+ and
D- lines).

3.3V Self-Powered
Typically, many embedded applications are using 3.3V
power supplies. When such option is available in the
target system, MCP2221 can be powered-up from the
existing 3.3V power supply rail. The typical connections
for MCP2221 are shown in Figure 1-5.
In this example, MCP2221 has both VDD and VUSB
lines tied to the 3.3V rail. These tied connections
disable the internal USB transceiver LDO of the
MCP2221 to regulate the power supply on the VUSB
pin. Another consequence is that the ‘1’ logical level on
the GPIO pins will be at the 3.3V level, in accordance
with the variations specified in Section 4.1 “DC
Characteristics”.
1.6.2.4
Remote Wake-Up Capability
The MCP2221 offers a mechanism for triggering a
remote wake-up event for the USB host. The remote
wake-up trigger works only with the external interrupt
detector.
In order to use this capability, GP1 must be designated
for interrupt detection operation. Before the USB host
goes into Sleep/Standby, the interrupt detector must be
set up for detecting positive edges, negative edges or
both; also, the detector flag must be cleared. After
these conditions are met, the USB host can go into
Sleep/Standby mode and it will be awakened whenever
an external signal on GP1 triggers the interrupt
detector.

12 MHz, but other values are possible)
• IOC – external interrupt detector
1.7.1.1
GPIO Pin Function
When the GPIO pin function is enabled for a given
GP(n) pin, it will operate as a digital input or an output
pin. When configured as a digital output, its value is
controlled through the USB HID commands. When
configured as a digital input, its logic value is read using
USB HID commands.
1.7.1.2
SSPND Pin Function
The SSPND pin (if enabled) reflects the USB state
(Suspend/Resume). The pin is active low
(factory-default setting; see the CHIPSETTING0
register for more details) when the Suspend state has
been issued by the USB host. Likewise, the pin drives
high after the Resume state is achieved.
This pin allows the application to go into Low Power
mode when USB communication is suspended and
switches to a full active state when USB activity is
resumed.

GPIO/ADC/DAC Module
1.8.3
DAC CONVERTER
This module communicates with the USB HID
sub-module through the Bus Matrix module. It allows
the manipulation of GPIOs, retrieving the ADC data
and setting the DAC value.
The DAC is 5-bit wide, has a single analog output and
it uses its own VRM module.
1.8.1
If the GP2 and GP3 are configured for DAC operation,
they will present the same analog voltage value
because they are connected to the same DAC output.
GPIO
When the GPs are configured for GPIO operation,
those configured GPs can be used as digital inputs or
outputs.
When working as outputs, the GPs output logic levels
(logic 0 or 1).
1.8.1.1
FIGURE 1-7:

DETAILS
5-Bit Value
VRM
The ADC and DAC sub-modules each have a voltage
reference module (VRM). Each VRM can be configured
(at Power-Up and run time) to output one of the four
voltage choices available.
The VRM can provide the following voltages as a
reference:
• VDD – the VRM output is exactly the voltage
present at the VDD pin of the MCP2221. It can
take any value from 3.3 to 5V.
• 1.024V – the VRM output of 1.024V is obtained
from an internal voltage reference
• 2.048V – the VRM output of 2.048V is obtained
from an internal voltage reference
• 4.096V – the VRM output of 4.096V is obtained
from an internal voltage reference. If the VDD is
lower than 4.096V, the VRM output will have the
value of VDD.

CLKR
When GP1 is configured for clock output operation, the
GP1 pin will act as a digital output, providing a clock
signal derived from the device’s internal clock. The
clock’s nominal frequency is 12 MHz ± 0.25%. Other
clock values and duty cycles are possible by setting
different values that are associated with this mode of
operation.
1.10
IOC
When GP1 is configured for interrupt-on-change (IOC)
operation, GP1 acts as a digital input that is sensitive to
positive and negative edges. Depending on the
settings associated with this mode of operation, the
GP1 can detect positive, negative or both edges.

I2C Master Module
The I2C Master module is responsible for the I2C traffic
generation. The module is controlled through the USB
HID, through the Bus Matrix module.
The I2C module only implements the functionality of an
I2C/SMBus Master.
1.13.1
I2C/SMBUS MASTER
The I2C Master initiates all the I2C/SMBus transactions
(being read or write operations) on the bus.
The I2C/SMBus Master module has the following
capabilities:
• sending/receiving data at a multitude of bit rates,
up to 400 kbps
• 7-bit Addressing mode
• single data transfers of up to 65,535 bytes
• clock-stretching (it allows the slower I2C Slaves to
communicate)
The RST pin provides a method for triggering an
external Reset of the device. A Reset is generated by
holding the pin low. These devices have a noise filter in
the Reset path, which detects and ignores small
pulses.
All the user data to be sent/transmitted over the I2C bus
is conveyed to the USB host only through the USB HID
interface.
1.11.2
The Bus Matrix module manages the communication
between various functional modules, such as: USB
(HID and CDC), I2C, UART, GPIO/ADC/DAC, Config,
IOC, CLKR, Pin Mux.
POR
A POR pulse is generated on-chip whenever VDD rises
above a certain threshold. This allows the device to
start in the initialized state when VDD is adequate for
operation.
To take advantage of the POR circuitry, tie the RST pin
to VDD through a resistor (1 – 10 k). This will
eliminate external RC components usually needed to
create a POR delay.
When the device starts normal operation (i.e., exits the
Reset condition), device operating parameters
(voltage, frequency, temperature, etc.) must be met to
ensure operation. If these conditions are not achieved,
the device must be held in Reset until the operating
conditions are met.
1.12
Internal Oscillator
The MCP2221 features an internal oscillator that
provides a 12 MHz clock, which is needed for the USB
modules (HID and CDC).
Full-speed USB is nominally 12 Mb/s. The clock
signal’s accuracy is over temp (2,500 ppm maximum).
The internal clock of the MCP2221 is fed into the CLKR
module to provide a clock signal outside of the device.
1.14
1.15
Bus Matrix Module
Config Module
The Config module is in charge of the storage of the
device settings and also of their management
(loading/modifying/access protection). The module
uses non-volatile memory for storing the Power-Up
device settings.
At Power-Up, the module loads the settings from the
non-volatile storage area into an SRAM location
(volatile settings). These settings represent the
device’s configuration, along with other key parameters
(e.g., string descriptors, VID/PID, etc.). After the
settings are loaded in SRAM (volatile settings), they
can be changed through the USB HID interface.
The user can read/modify/change either settings
(nonvolatile or volatile) through the same interface
(USB HID).
The Config module contains the relevant Power-Up
settings that are used by the MCP2221. A few
examples of settings are: USB descriptors, GP
settings, ADC, DAC, CLKR.
GP1 can be configured as a clock output pin providing
a 12 MHz clock to the rest of the system. Other clock
and duty-cycle values are possible by using different
settings for this module.

USB ENUMERATION PROCESS
The MCP2221 implements the CDC class to support
the USB-to-UART protocol converter functionality.
Using USB-to-UART (CDC class) adapters with
personal computers running the Windows operating
system (OS) requires some consideration because of
the way the Windows OS responds to their connection.
When a USB-to-UART (CDC class) adapter is
connected to the USB port of the PC, Windows
searches for a driver. After a suitable driver is found,
the system creates an entry in the registry. The entry
stores relevant information about the USB-to-UART
adapter, its driver and the associated COM port.
The COM port and its number are legacy-type
adapters, which are still supported by Windows OS.
Historically, the COM ports in a computer are part of the
computer’s motherboard and are assigned a different
index number. With the advent of USB-to-UART
adapters, the Windows OS kept the COM port concept
and extended it to support the USB adapters.
Whenever a USB-to-UART adapter is first connected to
a PC, the system searches the registry for an entry that
is suitable for the connected adapter. If one is not
found, the system asks for a suitable driver. If this step
is completed, it creates a registry entry, and assigns a
COM port number, as well. Then, whenever the
USB-to-UART adapter is connected to that PC, the
system checks the registry entry, loads the specified
driver and assigns the given COM port number (as
found in the registry entry).
The case with no serial number is useful for
test/validation of products using the MCP2221. The
fact that all the tested boards are not supplying a serial
number will force Windows to assign them the same
COM port number (but only if connected to the same
USB port).
The MCP2221 is factory-set to not use a serial number.
Later in the process, if a customer wants the benefits
provided by using a serial number, the Configuration
Utility from Microchip can be used to enable the
MCP2221 to enumerate its serial number as well.
The MCP2221 comes with a uniquely-provided serial
number to be used during the USB enumeration
process; however, this can be changed by the user in
the Configuration Utility.
The serial number enumeration enable/disable can be
changed, as well, using the Configuration Utility.
All the USB-related settings mentioned above are part
of the Device Configuration (Chip Settings area) and
they reside only in Flash. When the Chip Settings area
(1st area) is being copied into the SRAM (at Power-Up),
the USB settings are skipped (not copied into SRAM).
During the enumeration process, the device can
specify a serial number. If it does, this number is stored
in the registry entry and it is used to assign the same
COM port number to the adapter in question, no matter
which USB port the adapter is connected to.
USB-to-UART adapters have the option to not present
a serial number during USB enumeration. In this case,
the operating system would not be able to differentiate
between two identical devices, if neither is providing its
serial number. Each time one of these two devices
(with no serial number provided during enumeration) is
connected to the same USB port, they will have the
same COM port number assigned.
Both functionalities (with or without serial numbers) are
very useful for different applications.
When the serial number is provided, an adapter using
the MCP2221 solution receives the same COM port
number from a Windows machine, no matter which
USB port they are connected to.

USB HID COMMUNICATION
Except for the USB CDC and UART modules, all the
other modules in the MCP2221 use USB HID protocol
for communication.
The USB HID protocol uses 64-byte reports.
A typical command exchange starts with a 64-byte
packet that is written by the USB Host (i.e., the PC).
Afterward, the USB Host reads the response from the
device as a 64-byte packet.

When this value is put in this field, the device will cancel the
current I2C/SMBus transfer and will attempt to free the I2C bus.
This command is very useful since it can cancel a transfer and
free the bus. An example would be when trying to communicate
with a device using a wrong address. This will cause a time-out
to occur. This time-out situation can be read using the
“Status/Set Parameter” and the cancellation of the I2C/SMBus
transfer can be achieved by this sub-command.

This command is used to write user-given data to the
I2C Slave device (the speed is specified by the
STATUS/SET Parameters command).
The command will have the following effects:
• The I2C engine will send the START condition.
• The selected I2C slave address is sent next and
the I2C engine will wait for the slave to send an
acknowledge bit.
• The user data follows next and the I2C engine
awaits for the acknowledge bit from the slave.
• If the requested length is more than 60 bytes,
subsequent user bytes will be sent on the bus.
• When the user data length (being sent on the bus)
reaches the requested length, the I2C engine will
send the STOP condition on the bus.

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.
