The TRSF3232EIDBR from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, full-duplex RS-232 transceiver designed for robust serial communication in industrial and embedded systems. Housed in a compact 16-SSOP package, this surface-mount IC integrates 2 drivers and 2 receivers, supporting data rates up to 1 Mbps. Operating across a 3V to 5.5V supply range, it ensures compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems. Despite its obsolete status, it remains a reliable choice for legacy designs, offering 300 mV receiver hysteresis for enhanced noise immunity in electrically noisy environments. Compliant with ROHS3 and REACH standards, it is suitable for global applications.
This transceiver excels in systems requiring reliable RS-232 communication, including:
The TRSF3232EIDBR balances performance and durability, making it a pragmatic choice for noise-prone environments and legacy upgrades. While marked obsolete, its wide voltage range, hysteresis, and compact form factor ensure continued relevance in industrial and embedded applications. Engineers seeking a proven RS-232 solution with low-risk compliance (ROHS3/REACH) will find this transceiver a dependable option.
