SP3232EEN In Stock at ICGOODFIND: Powering Your Serial Communication with a Robust RS-232 Transceiver

In an era dominated by USB and wireless protocols, the need for reliable serial communication remains critical in numerous industrial, embedded, and legacy systems. The RS-232 standard continues to be the backbone for data exchange in these applications, and at the heart of any modern RS-232 interface is a robust transceiver. The SP3232EEN from MaxLinear stands out as a premier solution, offering a perfect blend of performance, reliability, and ease of integration.

This 3.3V powered device is engineered to meet the true EIA/TIA-232-F standards, ensuring full compatibility with existing RS-232 networks. Its key strength lies in its high-efficiency, charge-pump power architecture. This innovative design requires only a single 3.3V power supply to generate the necessary ±5.8V RS-232 voltage levels, effectively eliminating the need for costly and bulky dual power supplies. This not only simplifies board design but also reduces the overall system footprint and component count.

The SP3232EEN is built for resilience in electrically noisy environments. It features robust ESD protection of ±15 kV for all transmitter outputs and receiver inputs, safeguarding the chip and the sensitive system logic behind it from electrostatic discharge events that are common during handling and operation. This makes it an ideal choice for industrial control systems, point-of-sale terminals, and laboratory equipment where reliability is non-negotiable.

Furthermore, the transceiver boasts a low-power shutdown mode, which reduces the supply current to a mere 1 µA. This feature is crucial for battery-powered portable devices, allowing for significant power savings and extended operational life. With two drivers and two receivers capable of data rates up to 250 kbps, the SP3232EEN handles bidirectional data flow with ease, making it suitable for a wide array of communication tasks.

ICGOODFIND serves as your trusted component sourcing partner, providing immediate access to genuine SP3232EEN transceivers. Their commitment to verified quality and reliable inventory ensures that your projects proceed without delays, allowing you to leverage the proven performance of this essential communication IC.
