Application Scenarios & Design Considerations

Enhanced RS-232 Line Drivers/Receivers

Alternative Part Number

  • MAX231CPD --: Pin-compatible dual RS-232 driver/receiver in DIP package with equivalent electrical specifications, widely available and often used as a direct substitute.
  • ICL231CPD --: Same dual RS-232 transmitter/receiver function and DIP pinout, suitable drop-in replacement for the SP231ACT in most applications.
  • MC1488L --: Quad line driver commonly used in RS-232 interface designs; requires minor circuit adaptation but is a feasible functional alternative when the SP231ACT is unavailable.
  • MC1489AP --: Quad line receiver often used in similar RS-232 interface designs; verify driver pairing and pinout before substitution.
