Is the CP2102 compatible for ESP-01 ?

[mtech1]

I have an ESP-01 and a CP2102, and I want to program the ESP-01. I want use Arduino IDE.

Is the CP2102 compatible with the ESP-01, and do I need any extra components like resistors or capacitors for the setup?

As long as it's powered such that the UART lines are 3.3V logic.

Check the datasheet and/or App Notes on the SiLabs webpage for a reference design / schematic.

It should be. It has an internal regulator to supply the 3.3V for I/O. The internal regulator can supply a max of 100ma, so I don't know how well it would work for powering the ESP-01.

NodeMCU's have CP2102 (at least, those that I buy).
