SP232EEN-L Descripción general

The MaxLinear SP232EEN-L is a 2/2 full-duplex RS-232 line transceiver operating from a single 5 V supply in a 16-SOIC package. It provides two drivers and two receivers for RS-232 and V.28 serial-interface designs, with verified distributor data identifying a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range, 240 kbps data rate, 500 mV receiver hysteresis, and a -40C to +85C operating-temperature range.

An RS-232 transceiver is an interface IC that converts logic-level digital signals into RS-232 line signals and converts received line signals back into digital logic. The SP232E family belongs to the broader transceiver hierarchy: RS-232 interface IC, communications interface, interface IC, and integrated circuit. Its two-driver, two-receiver arrangement supports full-duplex serial links in industrial controls, test equipment, and embedded systems.

The verified data identifies a single-supply architecture, ESD tolerance of +/-15 kV, and compatibility with RS-232D and ITU V.28 protocols. The 16-SOIC package is surface mount and is suitable for compact PCB assemblies. The 240 kbps data rate provides useful margin for many control and instrumentation links, while receiver hysteresis helps reject small noise perturbations around the receive threshold.

Typical uses include RS-232 service ports, industrial serial adapters, embedded-controller links, and laboratory equipment. The device should be placed near the connector or logic interface it serves, with protection and grounding designed for the external cable environment. Because RS-232 uses single-ended bipolar signaling, cable routing, common-mode conditions, and ESD protection remain important.

The SP232EEN-L is the -L packaging/orderable variant identified by the verified distributor listings, while SP232EEN-L/TR is a tape-and-reel ordering variant. Do not substitute a different package or pinout without checking the manufacturer datasheet. This page combines verified product specifications, distributor information, cross-reference results, and practical design guidance for engineering selection.

🏭

Industrial RS-232 Service Port

The SP232EEN-L fits industrial service and configuration ports that need a compact, single-supply RS-232 interface. Its two drivers and two receivers support full-duplex communication, while the verified 240 kbps rate is suitable for many command and diagnostic links. The 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range and -40C to +85C operating range align with common industrial equipment architectures. Place the transceiver between the host UART and a protected DB9 or terminal connector. The key design consideration is cable-side grounding and ESD protection, especially when the port is exposed to user-accessible cabling.

🖥️

Embedded Controller Communication

Use the SP232EEN-L when an embedded controller needs to bridge a CMOS/TTL UART to an RS-232 port. The dual-driver and dual-receiver arrangement allows transmit and receive paths to coexist in one package, reducing board area compared with separate line-driver and receiver ICs. Its 16-SOIC format is compatible with standard surface-mount assembly, and the verified -40C to +85C range covers many embedded and industrial environments. Check the host UART voltage levels, confirm grounding, and use the manufacturer datasheet for the exact charge-pump and bypass components.

🔧

Test and Measurement Equipment

The SP232EEN-L is appropriate for laboratory instruments that expose a legacy RS-232 control or data port. The 240 kbps rate is useful for command traffic, status reporting, and instrument automation, while 500 mV receiver hysteresis can improve tolerance to small signal perturbations around the receive threshold. The single +5 V supply simplifies integration with instrument logic that already operates from 5 V. Keep the connector-side traces short where practical, provide a defined ground reference, and validate the complete cable and grounding system because RS-232 performance is system-dependent.

📡

Data Acquisition and Control Systems

The SP232EEN-L can connect a data-acquisition controller or industrial control module to an RS-232 master. Two drivers support full-duplex command and response traffic, and the 240 kbps rate accommodates many short-distance control protocols. The -40C to +85C specification supports use across temperature-controlled equipment, but cable length and noise immunity must be verified for the intended installation. Add connector-side surge and ESD protection when the port connects to external equipment, and maintain a low-impedance ground path between the transceiver and the system reference.

💻

Legacy Computer Serial Adapter

The SP232EEN-L is suitable for adding a legacy RS-232 port to a modern controller or embedded board when the original interface used a two-driver, two-receiver topology. Its 16-SOIC package is compact and widely handled by surface-mount manufacturing, while the 5 V single-supply operation fits many legacy peripheral designs. Confirm the connector pinout, cable length, and signal polarity because RS-232 implementations can vary at the system level. The IC handles logic conversion, but it does not replace external connector protection, isolation, or cable shielding.

🌐

Communication Port in Harsh Environment

The SP232EEN-L can be used in communication ports that require a -40C to +85C operating range and enhanced ESD tolerance. The verified source identifies +/-15 kV ESD capability, making the device a reasonable starting point for exposed RS-232 ports, but the rating does not eliminate the need for system-level protection. For cable-connected equipment, place protection close to the connector, control ground current, and verify isolation requirements. The 240 kbps rate can also reduce the number of high-speed edges that need careful routing in long or electrically noisy installations.

What is the SP232EEN-L?
The SP232EEN-L is a MaxLinear 2-driver, 2-receiver full-duplex RS-232 transceiver in a 16-SOIC package. According to the verified DigiKey listing, it is a 2/2 transceiver for RS-232, and GlobalSpec identifies a 240 kbps data rate and -40C to +85C operating range. It is intended for converting digital logic signals to and from single-ended RS-232 serial lines.
What supply voltage does the SP232EEN-L operate from?
The SP232EEN-L operates from a single 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply according to the verified Digchip specification and GlobalSpec data. The Mouser listing describes the device as a 5 V single-supply RS-232 interface IC. A regulated 5 V rail is therefore the intended nominal operating condition, subject to the manufacturer datasheet limits.
What is the data rate of the SP232EEN-L?
The SP232EEN-L supports a data rate of 240 kbps according to the verified GlobalSpec result. This makes it suitable for many RS-232 control, instrumentation, and service-port links. Cable length, baud rate, loading, grounding, and signal integrity should still be checked for the complete system rather than relying on the IC data-rate value alone.
Is the SP232EEN-L pin-compatible with other RS-232 transceivers?
The verified MaxLinear cross-reference result states that the SP232E family is pin-to-pin compatible with MaxLinear SP232A and SP233A devices and popular industry-standard pinouts. The verified alternatives data also identifies MAX232EESE+ as a pin-compatible alternative. Actual replacement approval should still verify package orientation, supply timing, ESD requirements, and exact logic levels against the manufacturer datasheets.
Can I use SP232EEN-L as a drop-in replacement for MAX232EESE+?
SP232EEN-L may be considered a candidate replacement for MAX232EESE+ because the verified alternative result describes MAX232EESE+ as a pin-compatible 2-driver/2-receiver alternative. However, the available data does not prove identical electrical specifications, package marking, temperature ratings, or all timing parameters. Confirm the exact package and pinout before approving it as a drop-in replacement.
Where can I buy SP232EEN-L online?
The SP232EEN-L can be sourced through the verified DigiKey, Mouser, and Octopart listings. DigiKey identifies the part as available from MaxLinear, while Mouser lists the MaxLinear SP232EEN-L and its tape-and-reel counterpart. Check the distributor inventory and authorized status at the time of purchase because the provided search results do not establish a permanent stock quantity.
What is the price of SP232EEN-L?
The provided verified results do not include a reliable numeric unit price for SP232EEN-L, so the correct price is [DATA_NEEDED: current distributor price]. DigiKey, Mouser, and Octopart provide pricing pages, but their snippets in the supplied data do not expose a complete price table. Request a current quote before budgeting or issuing a purchase order.
What is the lead time for SP232EEN-L?
The current lead time is [DATA_NEEDED: distributor lead time]. The verified DigiKey and Mouser listings identify the product and available purchasing channels, but the supplied snippets do not provide a numeric lead time. Because distributor stock can change quickly, confirm the manufacturing status, stock quantity, and delivery estimate directly with the seller.
Is SP232EEN-L in stock?
The SP232EEN-L is listed by DigiKey, Mouser, and other sourcing channels, but the supplied verified data does not explicitly state a current stock quantity. Therefore stock status is [DATA_NEEDED: current stock status]. Check the distributor inventory page or request a quotation before treating the part as available.
What is the operating temperature range of SP232EEN-L?
The verified GlobalSpec result specifies an operating-temperature range of -40C to +85C for the SP232EEN-L. The Mouser result independently identifies the same -40C to +85C range. This is an industrial-temperature span, but the final product qualification should also consider enclosure temperature, airflow, and the applicable system requirements.
Where can I download the SP232EEN-L datasheet?
The official MaxLinear family datasheet is available at https://www.maxlinear.com/ds/sp202e_sp232e_sp233e.pdf. The verified search results also identify datasheet pages from Sipex and Exar. Use the MaxLinear document for the family-level electrical characteristics, RS-232 compatibility, ESD information, and application guidance, while checking the exact orderable suffix.
Where can I find the SP232EEN-L pinout?
The SP232EEN-L pinout is documented in the manufacturer family datasheet and package diagram at https://www.maxlinear.com/ds/sp202e_sp232e_sp233e.pdf. The verified data identifies a 16-SOIC package, but the supplied snippets do not reproduce individual pin names. Use the datasheet pin diagram rather than inferring connections from a distributor thumbnail.
What are the key specifications of SP232EEN-L engineers should know?
The key SP232EEN-L specifications are two drivers, two receivers, full-duplex operation, a 4.5 V to 5.5 V single supply, 240 kbps data rate, +/-15 kV ESD tolerance, 500 mV receiver hysteresis, and a -40C to +85C temperature range. According to the verified MaxLinear and distributor data, it targets RS-232 and V.28 interfaces in a 16-SOIC surface-mount package.
What can replace SP232EEN-L?
A replacement must match the 16-SOIC footprint, two-driver/two-receiver arrangement, supply range, RS-232 signaling, and required temperature range. The verified alternatives data specifically identifies MAX232EESE+ as a pin-compatible alternative, while MaxLinear states that the SP232E family is compatible with SP232A and SP233A family devices. Verify all timing and ESD requirements before substitution.
Is SP232EEN-L suitable for industrial serial communication?
The SP232EEN-L is suitable for many industrial serial links because the verified data specifies a -40C to +85C operating range, 240 kbps data rate, and +/-15 kV ESD tolerance. Industrial suitability still depends on cable length, surge exposure, grounding, isolation, connector selection, and enclosure temperature. External protection may be required when the RS-232 cable leaves the equipment enclosure.
How should SP232EEN-L be used in a PCB design?
Place the SP232EEN-L near the RS-232 connector and route the differential-looking transmitter and receiver nets as single-ended RS-232 signals with controlled return-path geometry. Keep the logic-side nets away from exposed cable-side nets, provide a stable ground reference, and follow the datasheet decoupling recommendations. Because the verified data does not include capacitor values, use the manufacturer datasheet rather than estimating them.
Does SP232EEN-L require external charge-pump capacitors?
The supplied verified data confirms that the SP232EEN-L is a single +5 V RS-232 transceiver, but it does not provide the required external charge-pump capacitance values or circuit details. Use the official MaxLinear SP232E family datasheet for the exact capacitor connection and values. Do not substitute generic RS-232 capacitors without checking the selected device and operating conditions.

Guía de selección

Choose the SP232EEN-L when the design needs a verified 2-driver, 2-receiver, full-duplex RS-232 transceiver with a 4.5 V to 5.5 V single supply, 240 kbps data rate, and -40C to +85C operation. SP232ACN-L is a same-brand alternative, but the supplied comparison result lists 120 kbps, so verify it carefully when data rate matters. MAX232EESE+ is a cross-brand pin-compatible candidate identified by the verified alternatives data, but its exact electrical ratings must be checked. MAX232D and MAX3232CD are same-class SOIC-16 alternatives, not automatically drop-in replacements. For any substitution, verify pinout, supply voltage, temperature, data rate, ESD requirements, charge-pump circuitry, lifecycle status, and distributor availability.

Notas de diseño

Keep the SP232EEN-L close to the RS-232 connector and separate logic-side nets from cable-side nets as far as practical. Maintain a continuous ground reference and route the transceiver interface according to the manufacturer datasheet layout. The verified data does not specify trace-length or capacitor values, so those details must be taken from the official application guidance rather than estimated.

Do not confuse the SP232EEN-L orderable variant with the SP232EEN-L/TR tape-and-reel variant or with a different RS-232 family member that may have different electrical details. Confirm the package, pinout, temperature range, supply limits, and lifecycle status before substitution. Cross-reference listings indicate compatibility candidates but are not a substitute for the manufacturer datasheet.

RS-232 is a single-ended interface, so ground current and cable placement can affect noise immunity. Use a low-impedance ground connection between the transceiver and system reference, keep external cable routing away from sensitive logic where possible, and add connector-side protection when cables are user accessible. The +/-15 kV ESD specification is an IC capability, not a guarantee that every exposed system is adequately protected.

Design the 5 V rail within the verified 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range and account for startup, transient, and connector-load conditions at the system level. The supplied data does not provide the internal charge-pump capacitor recommendation or a complete power-consumption table, so use the MaxLinear family datasheet for those values. Validate the rail at the IC pins rather than only at the power supply connector.
