DS232AS/T&R

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The DS232AS/T&R is an RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates on a single +5V supply and supports data rates up to 350 kb/s. The device integrates two receivers and two drivers, housed in a TSSOP-20 surface-mount package. Electrical specifications include a minimum supply voltage of 4.5 V and a maximum of 5.5 V. The component functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C with a typical operating current of 10 mA. It lacks integrated ESD protection and utilizes single-ended receiver signals compliant with the RS-232 protocol.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm specific ordering suffixes match required packaging formats. Check current lifecycle status as industrial components may undergo discontinuation. Ensure environmental compliance documentation aligns with project requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-supply RS-232 solution is required without external voltage generation. Compare pin compatibility with existing designs if replacing older PDIP versions. Verify that the absence of built-in ESD protection meets system-level safety standards. Ensure the TSSOP-20 footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated DS232 family of RS-232 transceivers. It serves as a surface-mount variant of the standard DS232 series, offering similar electrical performance in a smaller form factor. The 'S' indicates the TSSOP package, while '/T&R' specifies tape and reel packaging for automated assembly processes.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other DS232 variants in TSSOP packages. Verify equivalent electrical parameters such as data rate and supply voltage range. Consider updated generations from the same manufacturer if available. Ensure mechanical dimensions match the existing board space.
