Alternatively, if 3.0 to 3.6 V power is supplied to the VDD pin, the CP2104 can function as a USB self-powered
device with the voltage regulator bypassed. For this configuration, tie the REGIN input to VDD to bypass the voltage
regulator. A typical connection diagram showing the device in a self-powered application with the regulator
The USB max power and power attributes descriptor must match the device power usage and configuration. See
application note “AN721: CP210x/CP211x Device Customization Guide” for information on how to customize USB
descriptors for the CP2104.

Note 1 : Avalanche transient voltage suppression diodes compatible with Full-speed USB should be
added at the connector for ESD protection. Use Littelfuse p/n SP0503BAHT or equivalent.
Note 2 : An external pull-up is not required, but can be added for noise immunity.
Note 3 : VIO can be connected directly to VDD or to a supply as low as 1.8 V to set the I/O interface
voltage.
Note 4 : If configuration ROM is to be programmed via USB, a 4.7
F capacitor must be added
between VPP and ground. During a programming operation, the pin should not be
connected to other circuitry, and VDD must be at least 3.3 V.
Note 5 : For self-powered systems where VDD and VIO may be unpowered when VBUS is connected
to 5 V, a resistor divider (or functionally-equivalent circuit) on VBUS is required to meet the
absolute maximum voltage on VBUS specification in the Electrical Characteristics section.
