MaxLinear, Inc. Interface - Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers - SP3238EEY-L/TR SP3238EEY-L/TR

The SP3238EEY-L/TR is an RS-232 transceiver designed for portable applications, operating from a power supply range of +3.0V to +5.5V. It features five drivers and three receivers, making it suitable for devices such as laptops and PDAs. The transceiver adheres to EIA/TIA-232-F standards and is interoperable with EIA/TIA-562 down to +2.7V. A key feature is the AUTO ON-LINE¬Æ circuitry, which allows the device to automatically wake from a low-power shutdown state when an RS-232 cable is connected. The device has a minimum data rate of 250Kbps under load and utilizes a regulated charge pump to maintain stable RS-232 outputs despite variations in supply voltage. Enhanced ESD protection is provided, with ratings of +15kV for the Human Body Model and IEC61000-4-2 standards. The SP3238EEY-L/TR is packaged in a 28-pin TSSOP format and is available in lead-free packaging, with an operational temperature range of -40¬8C to +85¬8C. This transceiver is suitable for applications requiring reliable RS-232 communication in compact designs.
