SP3232EEA-L/TR Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The SP3232EEA-L/TR from Exar is a true 3.0V to 5.5V RS-232 transceiver, specifically engineered for portable and handheld devices like notebook and palmtop computers.

 

This transceiver boasts a high-efficiency charge-pump power supply, requiring only 0.1μF capacitors for 3.3V operation. It delivers true RS-232 performance across a single power supply range of +3.3V to +5.0V. The device features a 2-driver and 2-receiver configuration, ensuring robust communication capabilities.

 

Key electrical specifications include a minimum data rate of 120Kbps under full load and interoperability with RS-232 down to a +2.7V power source. Enhanced ESD protection is provided, meeting ±15kV for Human Body Model and IEC1000-4-2 Air discharge test methods, as well as ±8kV for IEC1000-4-2 Contact discharge.

 

The SP3232EEA-L/TR also includes a low-power shutdown mode, disabling driver outputs and charge pumps to reduce supply current to less than 1μA. It is supplied in a DIP package suitable for through-hole mounting.
