TRS3232EIRGT Übersicht

The Texas Instruments TRS3232EIRGT is a 3V to 5.5V dual-channel RS-232 line driver and receiver (transceiver) with ±15kV IEC ESD protection on the serial-port pins, delivering 250 kbps data rates in a compact 16-pin VQFN (RGT) 3x3 mm package.

An RS-232 line driver/receiver is an interface IC that converts logic-level UART signals (TTL/CMOS, typically 0V to 3.3V or 5V) into the voltage-swing-compliant RS-232 levels required by serial-port connectors, and vice versa. It sits within the interface IC hierarchy of transceivers, alongside CAN, RS-485, and LVDS transceivers, and forms the electrical bridge between an asynchronous communication controller and the physical serial connector.

Key features include two drivers and two receivers for full-duplex communication, a dual charge-pump circuit that generates RS-232 compliant voltage swings from a single 3V to 5.5V supply with only four small 0.1uF external capacitors, ±15kV IEC ESD protection pin to pin (including GND), and conformance to TIA/EIA-232-F. The 250 kbps data rate comfortably covers standard UART baud rates up to 250 kbaud.

Technically, the device integrates an efficient regulated charge-pump inverter and doubler, so the driver outputs swing to the RS-232 defined levels even at a 3.3V supply. Receiver inputs tolerate up to ±30V, providing robustness against fault conditions. ESD structures rated to ±15kV (HBM and IEC air-gap) protect bus pins against electrostatic discharge events in field environments.

Typical applications include industrial PLC and factory-automation serial links, point-of-sale terminals and barcode scanners, and legacy/debug UART ports on networking and embedded processor boards. The small VQFN-16 footprint suits space-constrained designs where an SOIC-16 is too large.

Design consideration: ensure the four charge-pump flying capacitors and both supply bypass capacitors (0.1uF) are placed as close to the pins as possible; exceeding the 5.5V supply or omitting capacitors degrades signal swing and ESD robustness.

Typische Anwendungen

TRS3232EIRGT ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: Industrial PLC and Factory Automation Serial Links, Point-of-Sale Terminals and Barcode Scanners, Embedded Processor Debug and Console UART Ports, Networking Equipment and Telecom Management Ports, Battery-Powered Instrumentation and Data Loggers, Medical Device Service and Calibration Interfaces.

🏭

Industrial PLC and Factory Automation Serial Links

Industrial controllers frequently retain RS-232 ports for HMI panels, barcode readers, drives, and legacy field devices. The TRS3232EIRGT fits this role because its 3V to 5.5V supply matches modern 3.3V MCU rails, while its ±15kV IEC ESD protection protects bus pins from discharge events common on factory-floor connectors. Its 250 kbps rate supports fast program downloads and telemetry above the legacy 115.2 kbaud ceiling. In a typical link, T1IN/R1OUT connect to the MCU UART, and T1OUT/R1IN wire to the DB9 connector through the charge-pump-generated RS-232 swings. The VQFN-16 (3x3 mm) package keeps the interface block compact on dense control boards.

🧩

Point-of-Sale Terminals and Barcode Scanners

POS terminals, receipt printers, and handheld scanners still expose RS-232 serial ports that customers and service technicians physically connect to, making ESD robustness a primary requirement. The TRS3232EIRGT addresses this with ±15kV IEC ESD protection applied pin to pin including GND, per the TI datasheet, plus ±15kV HBM bus-pin protection. Its single 3V to 5.5V supply directly interfaces with battery-operated or 3.3V logic boards, and the integrated charge pump eliminates any negative supply, reducing component count in cost-sensitive retail hardware. The 250 kbps data rate accommodates high-speed receipt and label printing. Compact 3x3 mm VQFN packaging fits slim handheld enclosures.

🖥️

Embedded Processor Debug and Console UART Ports

Development and production boards for microcontrollers and SoCs commonly route one UART to an RS-232 console for boot logs and diagnostics. The TRS3232EIRGT is well suited because its two drivers and two receivers support full-duplex TX/RX with optional RTS/CTS flow control on the second channel. Running from the board's 3.3V rail, its charge pump produces compliant RS-232 swings using only four 0.1uF capacitors, so the debug circuitry adds minimal BOM cost. The 250 kbps capability accelerates log streaming versus 115.2 kbaud consoles. Integration on the small VQFN-16 footprint keeps debug circuitry off the critical routing area of dense CPU boards.

🌐

Networking Equipment and Telecom Management Ports

Switches, routers, and telecom shelves provide RS-232 craft ports for configuration and diagnostics. The TRS3232EIRGT serves these ports with TIA/EIA-232-F compliant signaling from a single 3V to 5.5V supply, avoiding a dedicated negative rail. Its ±15kV IEC ESD protection on serial pins guards against discharge when technicians plug in management cables, a frequent event in rack environments. The dual-channel arrangement supports console plus modem-control signaling (RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR) on one chip. The 250 kbps rate is ample for CLI traffic, and the 3x3 mm VQFN-16 package suits high-density line-card layouts where board space is at a premium.

📱

Battery-Powered Instrumentation and Data Loggers

Portable instruments, data loggers, and environmental sensors often communicate over RS-232 to legacy loggers or laptops. The TRS3232EIRGT operates from a single 3V to 5.5V supply, directly compatible with lithium-ion or 3.3V regulated rails, and its charge-pump architecture means no inductor or negative regulator is needed, minimizing quiescent board area and height for handheld products. ESD structures rated ±15kV IEC protect the external connector during field handling. The 250 kbps capability permits fast data offload from logger memory. Using the compact VQFN-16 (RGT) package, designers can retain an RS-232 port even on space-limited portable PCBs without a larger SOIC footprint.

💊

Medical Device Service and Calibration Interfaces

Medical equipment such as patient monitors and infusion systems commonly include RS-232 service ports for calibration, firmware updates, and integration with legacy hospital systems. The TRS3232EIRGT provides the electrical interface between the device UART and the serial connector in compliance with TIA/EIA-232-F, from a single 3V to 5.5V supply. The ±15kV IEC ESD protection on serial pins, applied pin to pin including GND, helps the port survive repeated cable connect/disconnect in clinical environments. The dual channel supports full-duplex data with hardware flow control. Its 3x3 mm VQFN-16 package allows the service interface to coexist with isolation and analog front-end circuitry on crowded boards.

What is the operating supply voltage range of the TRS3232EIRGT?
The TRS3232EIRGT operates from a single supply of 3V to 5.5V. According to the TI TRS3232E datasheet (Rev. E), this wide range allows direct connection to 3.3V or 5V logic rails, and the integrated dual charge pump generates RS-232-compliant output swings without a separate negative supply.
What is the maximum data rate of the TRS3232EIRGT?
The TRS3232EIRGT supports data rates up to 250 kbps. This is specified in the TI TRS3232E datasheet, which states the device meets TIA/EIA-232-F requirements at this rate, comfortably covering standard UART baud rates used in industrial serial links and debug console ports.
How much ESD protection does the TRS3232EIRGT provide?
The TRS3232EIRGT provides ±15kV IEC ESD protection on the RS-232 serial-port pins, tested pin to pin including GND, plus ±15kV HBM protection per the TI datasheet. This level of protection on bus pins is valuable in field environments such as point-of-sale terminals and industrial equipment where human operators touch serial connectors.
What package does the TRS3232EIRGT come in?
The TRS3232EIRGT is packaged in a 16-pin VQFN (RGT suffix), measuring 3 mm x 3 mm. According to DigiKey, the full orderable string is TRS3232EIRGTR in this 16-VQFN (3x3) package. This footprint is significantly smaller than the SOIC-16 option, suiting space-constrained embedded boards.
What is the price of the TRS3232EIRGT?
As of 2026-10-20, the TRS3232EIRGTR is listed at LCSC from approximately $1.26 per unit in stock. Typical volume pricing across distributors such as DigiKey and Mouser falls in the $1 to $1.50 range at quantity one, with meaningful discounts at 100-unit and 1000-unit breaks. Always check distributor pages for live stock and pricing.
Is the TRS3232EIRGT in stock and where can I buy it?
Yes, the TRS3232EIRGTR is in stock at multiple authorized distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, and LCSC as of 2026-10-20. DigiKey lists the part as shipping same day, and LCSC shows in-stock inventory starting around $1.26 per unit. XAIPART also accepts quote-based orders for production quantities.
What is the lead time for TRS3232EIRGT?
When distributor stock is available, lead time is effectively immediate since DigiKey ships the TRS3232EIRGTR the same day. If stock is exhausted at your quantity, factory lead times from Texas Instruments are typically on the order of several weeks; confirm current allocation with your distributor as of 2026-10-20.
What is the difference between TRS3232EIRGT and TRS3232EIRGTR?
There is no electrical difference: TRS3232EIRGT and TRS3232EIRGTR are the same die in the same 16-pin VQFN (3x3 mm) package. The R suffix denotes the tape-and-reel packing variant per TI ordering nomenclature. Either ordering code yields an identical, pin-to-pin drop-in part; verify reel or tray quantity at ordering.
Can the TRS3232EIRGT replace a MAX3232?
In many designs, yes. The TRS3232EIRGT is a dual RS-232 transceiver with a 3V to 5.5V supply and ±15kV IEC ESD protection, matching the classic MAX3232 function set. However, drop-in compatibility requires the same package and pinout; compare the pin assignment of your specific MAX3232 variant against the TRS3232E VQFN-16 pinout on the PCB before substituting.
When should I choose the TRS3232EIRGT over an SOIC-16 RS-232 transceiver?
Choose the TRS3232EIRGT when board area is constrained: the VQFN (RGT) 3x3 mm footprint occupies roughly one quarter the area of a SOIC-16. It also offers ±15kV IEC ESD protection integrated on the bus pins, which some commodity SOIC-16 transceivers lack. If hand soldering or prototyping simplicity matters more than size, the SOIC-16 variant TRS3232EIDR is easier to rework.
Is the TRS3232EIRGT suitable for industrial RS-232 communication?
Yes. The TRS3232EIRGT suits industrial serial links because it meets TIA/EIA-232-F, sustains 250 kbps, tolerates robust receiver input levels, and includes ±15kV IEC ESD protection on the serial pins. TI also supports the TRS3232RGTEVM evaluation module, which exposes all driver/receiver signals and the V+/V- charge pump rails on headers for bench validation.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the TRS3232EIRGT?
The closest same-brand replacement is the TRS3232EIRGTR, which is the identical device in the identical 16-pin VQFN (RGT) package with only the tape-and-reel packing suffix differing. Because the RGT package is TI-specific, cross-brand pin-to-pin equivalents in the same footprint are uncommon; verify any candidate against the TRS3232E pinout before layout reuse.
What are the key specifications of the TRS3232EIRGT that engineers should know?
The TRS3232EIRGT is a dual RS-232 transceiver: 2 drivers and 2 receivers, single-supply operation from 3V to 5.5V, 250 kbps data rate, ±15kV IEC ESD protection pin to pin including GND, TIA/EIA-232-F compliance, an integrated dual charge pump requiring only four 0.1uF external capacitors, and a 16-pin VQFN (RGT) 3x3 mm surface-mount package from Texas Instruments.
How many external capacitors does the TRS3232EIRGT require?
The TRS3232EIRGT requires four small external capacitors for its dual charge-pump circuit (two flying capacitors plus the V+ and V- reservoir capacitors), plus supply bypassing on VCC. According to the TI datasheet, 0.1uF capacitors are typically sufficient across the 3V to 5.5V supply range, keeping the total bill of materials cost and area very low.
Where can I download the TRS3232E datasheet PDF and find the pinout?
The official TRS3232E datasheet (Rev. E, titled '3V to 5.5V Multichannel RS-232 Line Driver and Receiver With ±15kV IEC ESD Protection In Small Package') is available on TI.com at the TRS3232E product page as both PDF and HTML.

Auswahlhilfe

Choose the TRS3232EIRGT when board area, ESD robustness, and single-supply operation are the priorities: its 3x3 mm VQFN-16 package cuts footprint by about 70% versus the SOIC-16 TRS3232EIDR, and the on-chip ±15kV IEC ESD protection removes external TVS diodes on serial-port lines. Choose the TRS3232EIDR instead if your assembly process favors hand-solderable SOIC or if a larger footprint is acceptable - it is electrically identical and often easier to rework during prototyping. Consider MAX3232E-class cross-brand parts when supply-chain diversification matters, but verify package and pinout equivalence before layout reuse, since drop-in cross-brand options in the RGT footprint are uncommon. For multi-channel needs beyond 2/2, step up to quad RS-232 transceivers rather than paralleling dual parts. All choices share 250 kbps-class performance and charge-pump level generation.

Wichtigste Unterscheidungsmerkmale

  • Compact 3x3 mm VQFN-16 footprint (vs. TRS3232EIDR)
  • Integrated ±15kV IEC ESD protection on serial pins (vs. basic commodity RS-232 transceivers)
  • Single-supply operation with integrated dual charge pump (vs. MAX3232E)

Designhinweise

Place the four charge-pump capacitors (C1 fly, C2 fly, V+ and V- reservoirs, typically 0.1uF each per the TI TRS3232E datasheet) as close as possible to pins 1/3, 5/6, 4, and 7. Use short, wide traces to minimize ESR effects, since excessive series resistance degrades the V+/V- rails and reduces driver output swing, especially at 3.3V supplies. Add 0.1uF bypassing directly at VCC (pin 2) and place the VQFN thermal-connect GND (pin 16) on a solid ground plane via multiple vias.

Route the RS-232 bus pins (T1OUT, T2OUT, R1IN, R2IN) as a loosely coupled pair away from clock lines; RS-232 edges are slow compared to modern logic, but long cable stubs can radiate. Keep RIN lines short on the PCB because they carry the ESD-strike-prone connector-side signals - the ±15kV IEC protection is on-chip, but series resistance in traces adds robustness margin. The 250 kbps limit assumes standard capacitive loading; very long cables may require lower baud rates.

Do not exceed the 5.5V absolute supply maximum - the charge-pump rails V+ and V- track VCC and overstress the driver stages. Omitting any of the four charge-pump capacitors will prevent proper RS-232 level generation. When using only one channel, follow the datasheet guidance for terminating unused inputs (tie TIN inputs to a defined logic level) rather than floating them, which can cause increased supply current and uncontrolled outputs.

Estimated: charge-pump output current ripple concentrates near switching edges, so size the VCC bypass network (0.1uF ceramic plus bulk capacitance as needed) to limit supply droop when both drivers switch capacitive cable loads simultaneously. At a 3.3V supply the V+/V- rails have less headroom than at 5V; if marginal RS-232 swing is observed at 3.3V, verify capacitor ESR first before investigating the IC.
