SP3232EEN-L/TR [MAXLINEAR]

The SP3222E and SP3232E series are RS-232 transceiver solutions intended for portable or hand-held applications such as notebook or palmtop computers. They feature a high-efficiency charge-pump power supply requiring only 0.1µF capacitors in 3.3V operation, delivering true RS-232 performance from a single 3.0V to 5.5V power source. These devices are 2-driver/2-receiver transceivers with enhanced ESD protection (±15kV HBM and IEC61000-4-2 Air Discharge, ±8kV Contact Discharge). The SP3222E includes a low-power shutdown mode (<1µA) that disables drivers and charge pumps while keeping receivers active.
