MaxLinear, Inc. Integrated Circuits (ICs) - Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers SP3226EEY-L

The SP3226EEY-L is a 1-driver/1-receiver RS-232 transceiver designed for operation with a power supply ranging from 3.0V to 5.5V. It features 15kV ESD protection on its I/O pins and complies with EIA/TIA-232-F standards, ensuring reliable communication in embedded applications. The device incorporates an Auto On-line¬Æ Plus feature, which allows it to automatically enter a low-power shutdown mode when idle and wake up upon detecting activity, enhancing energy efficiency without requiring software modifications. This transceiver is suitable for various applications, including handheld test equipment, point-of-sale systems, and computer peripherals. It utilizes a regulated charge pump that provides stable RS-232 outputs while requiring only 0.1OºF capacitors in 3.3V operation. The SP3226EEY-L is available in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free 16-pin TSSOP package, making it a compact solution for space-constrained designs.
