3.6 USB-UART Virtual COM Port
The PIC32WM-BW1 Curiosity Board has an on-board MCP2200 (U18) that acts as a USB-to-UART converter with hardware flow control support. It enables the user to connect to the Host PC through the USB Type-C™ connector (J7). MCP2200 supports UART baud rates from 300–1000 kbps. Voltage level translators are provided on signals between the MCP2200 and the PIC32WM-BW1002UC Module for supporting target voltage from 3–3.6V when powered externally.
