SP3243ECA-L

MaxLinear · Pre-ordered Chips · SSOP-28-208mil

SP3243ECA-L from MaxLinear, in a SSOP-28-208mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 C2+ passive Positive terminal of the inverting charge-pump capacitor; the charge pump runs from VCC with 0.1µF capacitors for 3.3V operation.
2 C2- passive Negative terminal of the inverting charge-pump capacitor; minimum recommended charge-pump capacitor values are listed in Table 7.
3 V- power_out Regulated -5.5V output generated by the charge pump, generated separately from VCC.

19 R1OUT output TTL/CMOS receiver output; RxOUT is rated -0.3V to VCC+0.3V in the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
20 R2OUT output Non-inverting receiver-2 output that remains active in shutdown; it is printed as R2OUT in the pin table, the same name as pin 18.
21 STATUS output TTL/CMOS output indicating online and shutdown status; it goes LOW when the device is shut down and is rated -0.3V to VCC+0.3V.
22 SHUTDOWN input Apply logic LOW to shut down the drivers and charge pump, overriding all AUTO ON-LINE circuitry and ONLINE; the input is rated -0.3V to 6.0V.
23 ONLINE input Apply logic HIGH to override AUTO ON-LINE circuitry and keep drivers active (SHUTDOWN must also be logic HIGH); the input is rated -0.3V to 6.0V.
24 C1- passive Negative terminal of the voltage doubler charge-pump capacitor.
25 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
26 VCC power_in Supply voltage of +3.0V to +5.5V; VCC is rated -0.3V to 6.0V in the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
27 V+ power_out Regulated +5.5V output generated by the charge pump; V+ is rated -0.3V to 7.0V in the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
28 C1+ passive Positive terminal of the voltage doubler charge-pump capacitor.
