CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COM22) Driver

The CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COM22) driver lets Windows communicate with a connected Sensitech device through a virtual serial port over USB. You may need it when setting up compatible Sensitech equipment, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting a device that appears as an unknown USB device instead of a usable COM port.

Key Features

• USB-to-serial communication: Provides the virtual COM port interface that compatible software uses to exchange data with the connected device.
• Device recognition: Helps Windows identify the CP210x USB-to-UART interface and make it available to applications that require a serial connection.
• Serial port configuration: Enables access to settings such as baud rate and flow control, where supported by the device and application.
• Windows compatibility options: Driver packages may cover Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Select a release that explicitly supports your operating system and its 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.

How to Install CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COM22) Driver

1. Check your system. Confirm your Windows version and architecture in System settings or System Properties. If researching Windows 10/11 compatibility, note that Windows 11 is not included in this device’s listed supported systems; verify support before installing.
2. Choose the correct package. Before starting your CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COM22) driver download for Windows, check the package’s supported systems and device compatibility. Look for a free download from a trusted manufacturer or authorized source, and choose the latest version compatible with your setup.
3. Install the driver. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary, then run the installer and follow its instructions. If no installer is supplied, open Device Manager, select the device, choose Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
4. Connect and verify. Connect or reconnect the Sensitech device, then check Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT). Restart Windows if prompted.
5. Select the port in your software. Choose the COM port shown in Device Manager. COM22 is a Windows-assigned port number, not a separate hardware model, and it may change after reconnection or installation on another computer.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses connection problems or supports changes to your system. Before an update, review compatibility notes—especially on older Windows versions—and retain a working installer in case you need to roll back.
