The SP232EET-L/TR is a high-performance RS-232 line driver/receiver manufactured by MaxLinear. It is part of the MaxLinear SP232E series, which is designed to operate at speeds up to 120 kbps. The part features a WSOIC-16 package, which is a 16-pin Wide and Small Outline Integrated Circuit package. The SP232EET-L/TR offers the same features as other members of the SP232E series but has a smaller package size, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. It offers extend common-mode input and output ranges between –7 V and +12 V, which are ideal for RS-232 powered systems or for communication with low-voltage logic. It also features low power shutdown mode, protection against excessive input levels, and thermal shutdown capability to prevent damage in the event of overheating. The SP232EET-L/TR is an ideal choice for any application requiring an ultra-small, high-performance RS-232 line driver/receiver.
