Integrated hardware Autoreset function makes it suitable for direct programming ESP8266, ESP32 and other MCU's that require it.
If you use Arduino IDE/Platformio/etc for example with ESP8266, you will love it, as it doesn't need to press anymore RST/Prog buttons for new sketch upload! The autoreset function takes care of that, putting automatically the ESP8266 module in the right boot mode.
