Product Summary

The SP232ACT is an enhanced versions of the Sipex SP232 RS-232 line driver/receiver. The SP232ACT is pin-for-pin replacements for its earlier version and will operate in its sockets. Performance enhancements include 10V/μs slew rate, 120k bits per second guaranteed transmission rate, and increased drive current for longer and more flexible cable configurations. Ease of use enhancements include smaller, 0.1μF charge pump capacitors, enhanced ESD protection, low power dissipation and overall ruggedized construction for commercial environments. The series is available in plastic and ceramic DIP and SOIC packages operating over the commercial, industrial and military temperature ranges.
