ST3232CTR

STMicroelectronics · RS232 ICs · TSSOP-16

ST3232CTR from STMicroelectronics, in a TSSOP-16. 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

2 V+ power_out Charge pump doubled voltage output terminal, ±5 to +7 V, requiring 0.1 µF external capacitor to GND.
3 C1- passive Negative terminal for first charge pump capacitor requiring 0.1 µF external capacitor per application circuit.
4 C2+ passive Positive terminal for second charge pump capacitor requiring 0.1 µF external capacitor per application circuit.
5 C2- passive Negative terminal for second charge pump capacitor requiring 0.1 µF external capacitor per application circuit.
6 V- power_out Charge pump inverted voltage output terminal, -7 to 0.3 V, requiring 0.1 µF external capacitor to GND.
7 T2OUT output Second transmitter RS-232 output with ±5 to ±5.4 V swing when loaded with 3 kΩ to ground.
8 R2IN input Second receiver RS-232 input voltage with -25 to +25 V operating range.
9 R2OUT output Second receiver TTL/CMOS logic output with voltage swing from 0 to VCC.
10 T2IN input Second transmitter TTL/CMOS logic input with 0.8 V low threshold and 2.0-2.4 V high threshold.
11 T1IN input First transmitter TTL/CMOS logic input with 0.8 V low threshold and 2.0-2.4 V high threshold.
12 R1OUT output First receiver TTL/CMOS logic output with voltage swing from 0 to VCC.
