GD65232DWR

Overview

The GD65232DWR is a Texas Instruments RS-232 interface integrated circuit featuring three drivers and five receivers. It operates with a single +5V supply voltage and supports data rates up to 120 kbps. The device utilizes standard TTL/CMOS logic levels for input signals and provides EIA/TIA-232-F compliant output voltages. It is housed in a 20-pin SOIC surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates multiple drivers and receivers within a single chip
• Operates on a single positive power supply
• Compatible with standard digital logic families

Applications

• RS-232 serial communication interfaces
• Modem connections
• Industrial control systems requiring serial data transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation, as suffixes often indicate specific packaging or environmental compliance variations. Confirm the component status is active rather than obsolete before procurement planning. Ensure the supplier provides traceable origin documents matching the specified part number.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires multiple transmit and receive channels from a single +5V source. Compare driver and receiver counts against system requirements to ensure sufficient channel availability. Verify that the 120 kbps speed meets the application's timing constraints and that the SOIC package fits the board layout.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GD series of RS-232 transceivers manufactured by Texas Instruments. It serves as a full-duplex communication interface, converting low-voltage logic signals to higher voltage RS-232 levels. The device is designed for reliable data exchange in environments utilizing standard serial protocols.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as the GD75232DWR which shares similar pinouts and functionality. Verify compatibility with existing circuit designs before substitution. Ensure any replacement maintains the same voltage and speed specifications.
