Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L/TR' against official MaxLinear documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and lead-free compliance status. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to ensure authenticity. Confirm current lifecycle status as the base model SP336ECT-L is listed as obsolete in public records.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring flexible serial protocol support within a single IC. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified 0°C to +70°C temperature range. Verify that the 28-pin SOIC footprint aligns with the PCB layout constraints and that the 10 Mb/s data rate meets the system throughput requirements.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SP336E series of multiprotocol transceivers manufactured by MaxLinear. It serves as a specialized interface solution for converting logic-level signals to RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 levels. The series is designed for applications demanding high integration and low power operation in industrial and commercial environments.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Public records indicate the base model SP336ECT-L is discontinued. Potential replacements include other MaxLinear multiprotocol transceivers such as the SP338E series, provided pin compatibility and electrical specifications match the original design requirements.
