UART & USB Converters Philippines: FTDI, CP2102, CH340 & Adapters | Circuitrocks

UART, Serial & USB Communication — FTDI, CP2102, CH340, TTL & USB Bridges

Interface microcontrollers, sensors, and computers easily using our UART, serial, and USB communication modules. These include FTDI programmers, CP2102/CH340 converters, USB-to-TTL adapters, and UART breakout boards for Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and embedded systems.

USB to UART • FTDI • CP2102 • CH340 • TTL Adapters • Debug Tools

Why shop UART modules here

  • Trusted chips: FTDI, CP2102, CH340, and industry-standard bridges
  • Beginner-friendly: clean pin labels, auto-reset, 3.3V/5V selectable
  • PH support: driver assistance & debugging guidance

Popular uses

  • Programming Arduino Pro Mini, ESP8266, ESP32
  • Serial debugging & logic monitoring
  • Connecting computers to UART-based sensors/modules
  • Flashing firmware / bootloader installation
  • Level shifting & safe communication

Communication categories

Serial / TTL Modules

  • TTL converters
  • Bidirectional UART level shifters
  • UART breakout boards for debugging

USB Tools & Debugging

  • USB logic converters
  • Signal testers & analyzers
  • Auto-reset adapters for ESP boards

Tip: If an ESP8266/ESP32 is not detected by your PC, try a CP2102 or CH340 driver reinstall, or use an FTDI board with auto-reset pins.

UART module chooser (quick guide)

Need Best choice Notes
Programming ESP8266/ESP32 CP2102 or CH340 Reliable, low-cost, widely supported drivers.
Best compatibility & stability FTDI FT232RL Premium driver support; great for Pro Mini & older boards.
Debugging serial output USB-TTL adapters Use for serial monitor logs & firmware flashing.
3.3V/5V safe communication TTL level shifter Prevents damage to sensitive 3.3V devices.
Drivers failing or unstable FTDI board Most consistent among USB-to-UART chips.

Choose based on chip compatibility, voltage level, and required auto-reset pins.

Starter bundles

  • ESP Flashing Kit: FTDI/CP2102 + USB cable + jumper wires
  • Pro Mini Programming Kit: FTDI + 3.3V/5V switching

FAQ

Which chip is best for programming ESP8266/ESP32?

CP2102 and CH340 modules work best; FTDI is also supported but may require wiring adjustments.

Why does my USB-UART adapter not show up?

Install the correct driver (FTDI/CP2102/CH340). Try a different cable—many USB cables are charge-only.

Is 3.3V/5V switching important?

Yes—using the wrong voltage may damage your ESP modules or microcontrollers.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes—fast shipping across the Philippines with same-day processing for in-stock items.
