DESCRIPTION

The ST3232 is a 3V powered EIA/TIA-232 and
V.28/V.24 communication interface with low
power requirements, high data-rate capabilities.
ST3232 has a proprietary low dropout transmitter
output stage providing t rue RS-232 performance
from 3 to 5.5V supplies. The device requires only
four small 0.1µF standard external capa citors for
operations from 3V supply.
The ST3232 has two receivers and two drivers.
The device is guaranteed to run at data rates of
250Kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels.
Typical applications are Notebook, Subnotebook
and Palmtop Computers, Battery Powered
Equipment, Hand-Held Equipment, Peripherals
and Printers.
