TPT3232E-SS3R

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The TPT3232E-SS3R is a dual transmitter/receiver RS-232 transceiver manufactured by 3PEAK. It operates on a single power supply ranging from 3.0 V to 5.5 V and supports data signaling rates up to 250 kbps. The device integrates two drivers and two receivers, converting TTL/CMOS logic levels to RS-232 voltages and vice versa. It requires four external capacitors for charge pump operation. The component is housed in an SSOP16 package with dimensions of 6.2 mm x 5.3 mm. It is characterized for operation across a 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 enhanced electrostatic discharge protection for RS-232 bus pins
• Operates efficiently with only four small external capacitors

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

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

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix SS3R corresponds to the SSOP16 package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance and halogen-free status as defined by the manufacturer's green product criteria. Ensure the required quantity matches the standard tape and reel packaging specifications provided in the official documentation.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low-power RS-232 communication within a 3V to 5.5V supply range. Verify that the SSOP16 package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified –40°C to 125°C operating temperature limits for reliable performance.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the TPT3232E family of RS-232 transceivers produced by 3PEAK. The family includes SOP16 and TSSOP16 variants alongside this SSOP16 version. All variants share identical electrical characteristics and functionality, differing only in physical package geometry and associated thermal properties.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include TPT3232E-SO3R (SOP16) and TPT3232E-TS3R (TSSOP16). These parts are functionally equivalent but require different footprint layouts due to distinct package dimensions.
