SP208ECT-L/TR [MAXLINEAR]

The SP208E-SP213E are enhanced transceivers for RS-232 and V.28 serial communication. They feature very low power consumption and single-supply operation, making them ideal for space-constrained applications. On-board charge pump circuitry generates fully compliant RS-232 voltage levels using small and inexpensive 0.1µF charge pump capacitors, eliminating the need for external ±12V supplies. The SP211E and SP213E feature a low-power shutdown mode, which reduces power supply drain to 1µA. The SP213E includes 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 competitor devices. Driver output and receiver input pins are protected against ESD to over ±15kV for both Human Body Model and IEC61000-4-2 Air Discharge test methods. Data rates of 120kbps are guaranteed, making them compatible with high speed modems and PC remote-access applications. Receivers also incorporate hysteresis for clean reception of slow moving signals.
