SP3238E

Overview

The SP3238E device is an RS-232 transceiver solution intended for portable or hand-held applications such as notebook and palmtop computers. The SP3238E uses an internal high-efficiency, charge-pump power supply that requires only 0.1µF capacitors in 3.3V operation.

  • Meets true EIA/TIA-232-F Standards from a +3.0V to +5.5V power supply
  • Interoperable with EIA/TIA-232 and adheres to EIA/TIA-562 down to a +2.7V power source
  • AUTO ON-LINE® circuitry automatically wakes up from a 1µA shutdown
  • Minimum 250Kbps data rate under load
  • Regulated Charge Pump Yields Stable RS-232 Outputs Regardless of VCC Variations
  • Enhanced ESD Specifications: +15kV Human Body Model +15kV IEC61000-4-2 Air Discharge +8kV IEC61000-4-2 Contact Discharge C2+ 1 GND 2 C2- 3
