XR32431EHCRTR-F

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The XR32431EHCRTR-F is an RS-232 interface integrated circuit manufactured by MaxLinear, Inc. It features three drivers and five receivers within a single package. The device operates on a single power supply ranging from 3 V to 5.5 V. It supports data rates up to 250 kbps with full duplex communication. The receiver input includes a 300 mV hysteresis for noise immunity. The component is rated for operation in temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. It utilizes a 32-VFQFN exposed pad surface mount package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrates three independent drivers and five receivers for complex serial communication topologies
• Provides enhanced noise immunity through built-in receiver hysteresis
• Supports low-power applications via shutdown mode functionality

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring multiple RS-232 ports

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EHC' against official MaxLinear documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 32-QFN package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations before finalizing procurement orders.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring three transmit and five receive channels. Verify that the 250 kbps data rate meets system timing requirements. Ensure the 3 V to 5.5 V supply range aligns with available board power rails. Check thermal dissipation capabilities within the QFN package for the intended ambient conditions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the XR32431 family of RS-232 transceivers. It shares functional similarities with other multi-driver devices in the MaxLinear portfolio. The EHC suffix typically denotes specific commercial or industrial temperature ranges and tape-and-reel packaging configurations distinct from other variants.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with XR32431EBERTR-F for pin-compatible alternatives. Verify if the EBU variant offers different temperature ratings or packaging options suitable for the target application environment.
