What is the difference between CP2102 and CH340G?
The biggest difference between CP2102 and CH340G is the USB interface. The CP2102 uses a USB-to-UART bridge controller interface IC while the CH340G uses a USB-to-serial chip. The CP2102 is far more reliable than the CH340G which is notoriously unstable and liable to die at a moment’s notice
