SP336ECY-L/TR

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The SP336ECY-L/TR is a multiprotocol transceiver manufactured by MaxLinear, designed for serial communication applications. It supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 protocols within a single device. The component operates on a supply voltage ranging from 3.135 V to 5.25 V, with typical operation at 3.3 V or 5 V. It features four transmitters and four receivers, achieving data rates up to 10 Mb/s. The device is housed in a TSSOP-28 package suitable for surface mount technology. It includes shutdown functionality to reduce power consumption and offers ESD protection of +/-15 kV.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CY' against official MaxLinear documentation to confirm the TSSOP-28 package variant. Confirm current availability status as distribution channels may list this part as obsolete or limited stock. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required for the target assembly process.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single IC must handle multiple serial bus types without external switching logic. Compare power dissipation ratings against thermal constraints in the final enclosure. Verify that the 10 Mb/s speed meets the system's timing requirements for all supported protocols.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the SP336E series of intelligent interface ICs. It serves as a versatile solution for designers needing to integrate diverse serial communication standards into compact form factors. The series is characterized by its ability to operate across standard voltage rails while maintaining high performance.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the MaxLinear portfolio. Verify if newer revisions of the SP336E family offer updated packaging or enhanced ESD specifications. Cross-reference with other multiprotocol transceivers if specific pinout modifications are acceptable.
