Voltage output support: 5V or 3.3V
Integrated USB protection device: SP0503
3 LEDs: TXD LED, RXD LED, POWER LED
Pins accessible on pinheaders: TXD, RXD, RTS, CTS
Other pins are accessible on drilled holes, easily connected to user application system (separate pinheaders are provided)

In the case of working with MCU:

VCCIO: 3.3V or 5V output (the module is powered from USB, onboard jumper should be shorted to 3.3V or 5V)
GND: connects to GND
TXD: connects to MCU.RX (signal direction: MCU.RX << CP2102 << PC.TX)
RXD: connects to MCU.TX (signal direction: MCU.TX >> CP2102 >> PC.RX)
RTS: connects to MCU.CTS (signal direction: MCU.CTS << CP2102 << PC.RTS)
CTS: connects to MCU.RTS (signal direction: MCU.RTS >> CP2102 >> PC.CTS)
