GM3232EBA

GATEMODE · RS232 ICs · SSOP-16-208mil

GM3232EBA from GATEMODE, in a SSOP-16-208mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 C1+ passive Positive terminal of the voltage-doubler charge-pump flying capacitor C1. Connects to the external capacitor between C1+ and C1-.
2 V+ power_out Positive voltage produced by the internal charge pump (approximately +2×VCC). Bypass to GND with a reservoir capacitor (0.1µF typ, 0.33µF at 5V VCC).
3 C1- passive Negative terminal of the voltage-doubler charge-pump flying capacitor C1.
4 C2+ passive Positive terminal of the inverting charge-pump flying capacitor C2.
5 C2- passive Negative terminal of the inverting charge-pump flying capacitor C2.
6 V- power_out Negative voltage generated by the internal inverting charge pump (approximately -2×VCC). Bypass to GND with a reservoir capacitor (0.1µF typ, 0.33µF at 5V VCC).
7 DOUT2 output RS-232 driver output for channel 2. Swings between V+ and V- (typ ±5V) to drive an RS-232 line. Short-circuit protected to ground.
8 RIN2 input RS-232 receiver input for channel 2. Accepts ±25V RS-232 signals with a standard built-in ~5kΩ input load resistor. Thresholds ~1.5V typ (VIT+) / ~1.1V typ (VIT-).
9 ROUT2 output TTL/CMOS receiver output for channel 2. Drives VCC-level logic to a downstream UART; goes high when RIN2 is open-circuit.
10 DIN2 input TTL/CMOS driver input for channel 2. VIH ≥ 2.0V (VCC=3.3V) / 2.4V (VCC=5V); VIL ≤ 0.8V. Inverted through the driver to DOUT2.
11 DIN1 input TTL/CMOS driver input for channel 1. VIH ≥ 2.0V (VCC=3.3V) / 2.4V (VCC=5V); VIL ≤ 0.8V. Inverted through the driver to DOUT1.
12 ROUT1 output TTL/CMOS receiver output for channel 1. Drives VCC-level logic to a downstream UART; goes high when RIN1 is open-circuit.
13 RIN1 input RS-232 receiver input for channel 1. Accepts ±25V RS-232 signals with a standard built-in ~5kΩ input load resistor. Thresholds ~1.5V typ (VIT+) / ~1.1V typ (VIT-).
14 DOUT1 output RS-232 driver output for channel 1. Swings between V+ and V- (typ ±5V) to drive an RS-232 line. Short-circuit protected to ground.
15 GND power_in Device ground return. Common reference for logic and charge-pump capacitors.
16 VCC power_in +3.0V to +5.5V power supply input. Bypass with a 1µF (typ) capacitor to GND close to the pin. Absolute maximum +6V.
