ST3232BDR

UMW · RS232 ICs · SOP-16

ST3232BDR from UMW, in a SOP-16. 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 capacitor C1. Connect a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between C1+ and C1- (pin 3). Part of the internal charge pump generating V+ ≈ +5.5V.
2 V+ power_out Regulated +5.5V rail generated internally by the charge pump. Bypass to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor. Do not load externally beyond the internal driver requirements.
3 C1- passive Negative terminal of the voltage-doubler charge-pump capacitor C1. Connect to C1+ (pin 1) through a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
4 C2+ passive Positive terminal of the inverting charge-pump capacitor C2. Connect a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between C2+ and C2- (pin 5). Part of the internal charge pump generating V- ≈ -5.5V.
5 C2- passive Negative terminal of the inverting charge-pump capacitor C2. Connect to C2+ (pin 4) through a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
6 V- power_out Regulated -5.5V rail generated internally by the inverting charge pump. Bypass to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor. Do not load externally beyond the internal driver requirements.
7 DOUT2 output RS-232 driver output for channel 2. Swings between V+ and V- levels (typically ±5.4V). Meets TIA/EIA-232-F output specifications; short-circuit current typically ±35 mA.
8 RIN2 input RS-232 receiver input for channel 2. Accepts ±25V input swing with typical 5kΩ input resistance. Positive-going threshold typ 1.5V, negative-going typ 1.2V (VCC=3.3V); ~0.3V hysteresis.
9 ROUT2 output TTL/CMOS receiver output for channel 2. Drives to VCC-0.1V high / 0.4V low with 1.6 mA sink current. Level-translated version of RIN2 for the host UART.
10 DIN2 input TTL/CMOS driver input for channel 2. VIH ≥ 2.0V (VCC=3.3V) / 2.4V (VCC=5.5V); VIL ≤ 0.8V. Accepts up to 5.5V input even with 3.3V VCC.
11 DIN1 input TTL/CMOS driver input for channel 1. VIH ≥ 2.0V (VCC=3.3V) / 2.4V (VCC=5.5V); VIL ≤ 0.8V. Accepts up to 5.5V input even with 3.3V VCC.
12 ROUT1 output TTL/CMOS receiver output for channel 1. Drives to VCC-0.1V high / 0.4V low with 1.6 mA sink current. Level-translated version of RIN1 for the host UART.
13 RIN1 input RS-232 receiver input for channel 1. Accepts ±25V input swing with typical 5kΩ input resistance. Positive-going threshold typ 1.5V, negative-going typ 1.2V (VCC=3.3V); ~0.3V hysteresis.
14 DOUT1 output RS-232 driver output for channel 1. Swings between V+ and V- levels (typically ±5.4V). Meets TIA/EIA-232-F output specifications; short-circuit current typically ±35 mA.
15 GND power_in Device ground reference. All voltages are with respect to this network GND.
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage input, +3.0V to +5.5V. Typical supply current 1 mA (no load, VCC=3.3V). Bypass to GND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: ST3232BDR

  • 3D model: SOP-16 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
st3232bdr.step 217 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
st3232bdr-etched.step 2.7 MB You want the part with ST3232BDR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 662 faces against 267 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: UMW datasheet (11 pp, sha256 72932421b486abe4, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
