Applications
MCP2210T-I/SS enables rapid USB-to-SPI connectivity for PC-based sensor evaluation boards, data acquisition systems, and industrial control panels that need to interface with SPI ADCs, DACs, or memory devices from a host computer. Its HID class operation avoids custom driver development, reducing time-to-market for embedded peripheral evaluation tools. The SSOP-20 package is compatible with compact adapter boards and USB dongle form factors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What SPI clock frequency and USB data rate does the MCP2210T-I/SS support for PC-to-peripheral communication?
The MCP2210T-I/SS supports SPI clock frequencies up to 12 MHz and USB full-speed data transfer rates up to 1.5 Mbps. It uses the USB HID class, so Windows, Linux, and macOS recognize the device without installing custom drivers, making it practical for quick SPI peripheral evaluation from a laptop or workstation within minutes of connection.
How many GPIO pins does the MCP2210T-I/SS expose over USB, and can their states be stored non-volatilely?
The MCP2210T-I/SS exposes 8 general-purpose I/O pins controllable through USB HID commands. Default GPIO direction and initial output values can be stored in internal EEPROM so the device initializes predictably on every USB connection, eliminating the need for host software to re-configure pins at startup — particularly useful in industrial fixtures with 6-week lead-time deployment cycles.
For a data-logger project using a 20-pin SSOP footprint, how does MCP2210T-I/SS compare to FTDI FT232H in terms of interface support?
The MCP2210T-I/SS is dedicated to SPI with 8 GPIO pins and fits a compact 20-pin SSOP measuring under 8 mm in length, while FT232H supports multiple interfaces but requires a larger 48-pin QFP package. For pure SPI applications requiring only 1 bus with 8 chip-select or GPIO lines, MCP2210T-I/SS uses less PCB area and has a 6-week lead time from Microchip authorized distributors.
