Frequently Asked Questions
What interface standards does the TRS232INE4 comply with?
The TRS232INE4 is compliant with EIA-232-F, TIA-232-F, and V.28 serial interface standards. It includes 2 drivers and 2 receivers, with Schmitt trigger inputs on the receiver side to improve noise immunity in electrically noisy environments.
What package is the TRS232INE4 available in?
The TRS232INE4 is available in a 16-pin dual in-line package (DIP) with JESD-30 code R-PDIP-T16, suitable for through-hole PCB assembly and breadboard prototyping. The E4 suffix denotes the lead-free, RoHS-compliant version per JESD-609 code e4.
Does the TRS232INE4 require external capacitors for operation?
Yes, the TRS232INE4 requires small external charge pump capacitors, typically four 100nF to 1µF capacitors, to generate the RS-232 required ±5V to ±9V output swing from a single 5V supply. These capacitors connect to the charge pump pins and are standard for all RS-232 transceiver ICs of this type.
Is the TRS232INE4 suitable for automotive or industrial environments?
The TRS232INE4 is designed for commercial and industrial temperature ranges. Its Schmitt trigger inputs provide robustness against voltage spikes and ringing on RS-232 lines common in industrial settings. For automotive-grade applications with extended temperature requirements, Texas Instruments offers automotive-qualified variants.
