not automatically start when you insert the CD-ROM, run 

autorun.exe

 

found in the root directory of the CD-ROM.

Refer to the 

ReleaseNotes CP211x CD.txt

 

file on the CD-ROM for the latest information regarding versions and

known problems and restrictions. If a non-Windows PC is used, manually browse to the directory on the CD-ROM
that contains drivers for your OS. The instructions in this document assume that a Windows PC is being used.

3.  CP2112 Hardware Interface

Connect the CP2112 evaluation board to a PC as shown in Figure 1.

1.

Connect one end of the USB cable to a USB Port on the PC.

2.

Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB connector on the CP2112 evaluation board.

3.

Connect the SDA, SCL, and Ground pins on the CP2112 to an SMBus device. External pull-up resistors 
are not needed if the pull-up resistors on the CP2112 evaluation board are used.
