TPT3232A-TS3R

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The TPT3232A-TS3R is a dual RS-232 transceiver manufactured by 3PEAK, designed for balanced communication interfaces. It operates on a single power supply ranging from +3 V to +5.5 V and supports data rates up to 250 kbps. The device integrates two drivers and two receivers, requiring only four external 0.1-μF capacitors for charge pump operation. It features robust ESD protection with ±15 kV HBM and ±15 kV IEC air-gap ratings. The component is housed in a TSSOP-16 package with dimensions of 5.0 mm x 4.4 mm and is characterized for operation across an ambient temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Complies with TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU V.28 standards for balanced communication
• Provides integrated ESD protection meeting IEC61000-4-2 contact and air-gap discharge requirements
• Accepts receiver inputs up to ±25 V while converting signals to TTL/CMOS levels
• Operates efficiently with minimal external components using standard 0.1-μF capacitors

• Battery-powered equipment
• Industry human machine interface systems
• Notebook computers
• Printers

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix TS3R corresponds to the TSSOP-16 package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance and halogen-free status as defined by the manufacturer's green product designation. Ensure the supply chain provides valid traceability documentation for the MSL3 moisture sensitivity level. Cross-reference the part marking '3232A' against official datasheets to authenticate the component before integration into production lines.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low-power RS-232 connectivity within a 3 V to 5.5 V voltage domain. The TSSOP-16 package is suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts compared to larger SOP variants. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics of the TSSOP-16 package when calculating junction temperatures under maximum load conditions. Verify that the application environment does not exceed the specified operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The TPT3232A series includes SOP16, SSOP16, and TSSOP16 package options, all sharing identical electrical specifications. The TS3R suffix specifically denotes the TSSOP-16 form factor with a tape and reel quantity of 3000 units. This variant maintains the same functional block diagram and pinout configuration as the other packages in the family, differing only in physical dimensions and mounting style.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the TPT3232A-SO3R (SOP16) and TPT3232A-SS3R (SSOP16), which share identical electrical parameters but differ in package footprint. Designers must verify PCB layout compatibility when substituting between these package types.
