Application Scenarios & Design Considerations

Enhanced RS-232 Line Drivers/Receivers

Alternative Part Number

  • MAX231CPE --: Pin-compatible dual RS-232 driver/receiver in DIP package with equivalent electrical specifications and widely available.
  • ICL231CPE --: Direct functional equivalent dual RS-232 transceiver in PDIP, commonly used as a drop-in replacement for the SP231.
  • MC1489AP --: Quad line receiver often used in similar RS-232 interface designs; verify pinout and driver requirements before substitution.
  • MC1488P --: Classic RS-232 line driver in DIP package suitable for legacy designs where the SP231ACP is used, though it is a driver-only device requiring a companion receiver.
