What are the key features of ST3232EBTR?
- Dual EIA-232 drivers and receivers in a single 16-pin TSSOP package for compact RS-232 interface designs
- Schmitt-trigger inputs enhance noise immunity on long cable runs and industrial RS-232 links
- 3.0 V to 5.5 V supply compatibility allows direct use with both 3.3 V and 5 V system boards without level shifters
What is ST3232EBTR used for?
The ST3232EBTR is designed for embedded systems requiring RS-232 serial communication between microcontrollers and legacy equipment such as industrial PLCs, barcode scanners, and PC serial ports. Its Schmitt-trigger inputs and compliance with EIA-232, TIA-232, V.24, and V.28 standards make it suitable for noisy factory-floor environments with cable runs up to 15 meters. The 16-pin TSSOP footprint allows dense board layouts in space-constrained serial communication modules and gateway devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What supply voltage range does ST3232EBTR support and how does it fit into 3.3 V microcontroller designs?
The ST3232EBTR operates from a 3.0 V to 5.5 V supply, making its logic interface directly compatible with 3.3 V MCU GPIO without additional level-translation circuitry. Internal charge-pump capacitors generate the ±5.5 V RS-232 output swing from the single supply, requiring only 4 external capacitors in the range of 100 nF to achieve full EIA-232 compliance.
How many RS-232 channels does ST3232EBTR provide and what data rate is supported for industrial serial links?
ST3232EBTR integrates 2 independent RS-232 drivers and 2 receivers, supporting a maximum data rate of 250 kbps per channel. This is sufficient for standard UART baud rates up to 230400 bps used in barcode scanners, industrial sensors, and legacy PLC communication over cable runs up to 15 meters as defined by the EIA-232 standard.
What noise immunity feature does ST3232EBTR provide for long cable RS-232 connections in industrial environments?
The ST3232EBTR incorporates Schmitt-trigger inputs on its receiver channels, providing hysteresis typically of 0.5 V to improve noise rejection on long RS-232 cable runs. This prevents false triggering caused by reflections, ground potential differences of up to 2 V, and EMI common in factory floors where cable runs may exceed 10 meters.
For a board using both RS-232 and UART peripherals, how does the 16-pin TSSOP package of ST3232EBTR compare to DIP alternatives?
The 16-pin TSSOP package measures approximately 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm with 0.65 mm pin pitch, occupying roughly 70% less board area than an equivalent 16-pin DIP package at 19.9 mm × 7.5 mm. This space saving is critical in compact gateway boards where a 3.3 V MCU connects to both a USB interface and an RS-232 port within a constrained 50 mm × 50 mm PCB footprint.
