MAX3232EIPWR

MAX3232EIPWR is the tape-and-reel TSSOP-16 ordering code for the Texas Instruments MAX3232E RS-232 transceiver, listed as ACTIVE. This is TI’s own MAX3232E: verified figures on the TI document are a supply of 3 V to 5.5 V, data rates up to 250 kbit/s, supply current of 300 µA typical, and RS-232 pin ESD of ±15 kV HBM and ±8 kV IEC contact, in the I temperature grade of −40 °C to +85 °C, with two drivers and two receivers. The selection point is the slim TSSOP body for a service or console port that must survive handling: the E-grade ESD ratings are the reason this code exists next to the standard MAX3232 family. Selection advice: the same MAX3232E designation is also an Analog Devices part with its own datasheet and its own ordering table — the two makers’ devices and figures are not interchangeable, so state Texas Instruments explicitly in the RFQ when this page is the requirement. Parameters verified against the TI MAX3232E datasheet and product page.
