SP208ECT-L [MAXLINEAR]

The SP208E-SP213E are enhanced transceivers for RS-232 and V.28 serial communication. They feature very low power consumption and single +5V supply operation, making them ideal for space-constrained applications. On-board charge pump circuitry generates fully compliant RS-232 voltage levels using small 0.1µF charge pump capacitors without requiring external ±12V supplies. The SP211E and SP213E include a low-power shutdown mode reducing power drain to 1µA, with the SP213E featuring two receivers that remain active during shutdown to monitor for signal activity. These devices are pin-to-pin compatible with previous models and industry-standard competitors. Driver output and receiver input pins are protected against ESD to over ±15kV for both Human Body Model and IEC61000-4-2 Air Discharge. Data rates of 120kbps are guaranteed, making them compatible with high-speed modems and PC remote-access applications. Receivers incorporate hysteresis for clean reception of slow-moving signals.
