SP3224EEY-L

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SP3224EEY-L is a MaxLinear RS-232 transceiver featuring two drivers and two receivers in a TSSOP-20 package. It operates on a single +3.0V to +5.5V supply with a typical quiescent current of 300 uA. The device supports full-duplex communication at data rates up to 250 kb/s, with propagation delays of 0.22 us. It provides enhanced ESD protection exceeding ±15kV for human model and air discharge tests. The component includes a shutdown mode reducing power consumption to 1 uA and is rated for operation between 0°C and +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm lead-free compliance and RoHS status. Confirm the package type is TSSOP-20 and check for any recent product change notices or discontinuation notices from MaxLinear before finalizing procurement plans.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-driver RS-232 solution is required for portable applications. Ensure the system voltage falls within the 3.0V to 5.5V range. Consider the 250 kb/s speed limit and the absence of an extended industrial temperature range if operating outside commercial limits.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SP3224E series of intelligent RS-232 transceivers. It shares functional similarities with other MaxLinear parts like the SP3222E but offers higher data rates. The series is designed specifically for battery-powered portable electronics where power efficiency and small form factors are critical.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with SP3222EUEY-L/TR for similar functionality but verify pinout compatibility. Check Exar or SIPEX equivalents like the SP3222E for potential drop-in replacements, ensuring electrical parameters match the application requirements.
