Description

The SP213ECT is a multi-channel RS-232 line transceiver that belongs to the SP200E series. It is an enhanced version that offers better electrical performance than its predecessor, the SP200 family, and is also compatible with popular industry standards. The device is designed with low-power CMOS construction and Sipex-patented on-board charge pump circuitry that generates the ±10V RS-232 voltage levels using 0.1µF charge pump capacitors. The SP213ECT features a low-power shutdown mode that reduces power supply drain and has improved ESD performance of over ±15kV for both Human Body Model and IEC1000-4-2 Air Discharge test methods.
