The SP3232EIMT/TR is a RS232 IC produced by HGSEMI that is compliant with the RoHS standard. It is packaged in a TSSOP-16 package, which is a small surface-mount package with 16 pins. It features a 0.1µm CMOS technology, low power consumption, and 3.3V and 5V dual supply capability. The SP3232EIMT/TR offers 2-wire full-duplex and 4-wire half-duplex communications in a single package. It can be used to interface to peripherals such as modems, GPS receivers, and other serial devices. The interface standards are EIA/TIA-485 and EIA/TIA-232-F. It also supports wake-up and power-down modes to reduce power consumption. The device is broadly used in applications such as industrial control, medical monitoring systems, point-of-sale terminals, and remote data acquisition systems.
