SP207ECA-L/TR

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SP207ECA-L/TR is a MaxLinear RS-232 interface integrated circuit featuring five drivers and three receivers. It operates on a single 5 V supply with a typical quiescent current of 20 mA. The device supports data rates up to 120 kb/s in full-duplex mode. It provides robust electrostatic discharge protection rated at +/-15 kV according to IEC standards. The component is housed in a 24-pin SSOP package and is designed for industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump eliminates the need for external capacitors
• High ESD protection ensures reliability in harsh environments
• Low power consumption suitable for battery-operated systems

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial communication equipment
• Modems and fax machines
• Point-of-sale terminals

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer source, as this part number has been associated with Exar and SIPEX historically. Confirm the specific suffix matches the required temperature range and packaging format. Check RoHS compliance documentation directly from the datasheet provided by the current supplier to ensure regulatory adherence.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when five transmit channels and three receive channels are required for RS-232 connectivity. Ensure the application environment falls within the -40°C to +85°C operating range. Verify that the 120 kb/s data rate meets system timing requirements and that the SSOP-24 footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SP207 series of RS-232 transceivers. It shares functional similarities with the SP207EEA-L/TR but differs in specified operating temperature ranges and ESD ratings. The ECA variant specifically targets wider industrial temperature applications compared to commercial grade alternatives.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

SP207CT-L offers similar driver/receiver counts but lacks shutdown functionality and has a lower ESD rating. SP207EEA-L/TR is a close alternative but typically specifies a commercial temperature range. Verify pin compatibility before substitution.
