Application Scenarios & Design Considerations

5V Powered Multi-Channel RS-232 Drivers/Receivers

Alternative Part Number

  • MAX234CPE --: Pin-compatible RS-232 transceiver from Maxim with the same 4-driver/4-receiver function and DIP package, widely available and a direct functional drop-in for the SP234ACT.
  • ICL234CPE --: Equivalent 4-driver/4-receiver RS-232 interface IC in a DIP package with matching pinout and supply requirements, a well-established second source for the SP234 series.
  • HIN234CP --: Alternative RS-232 transceiver with the same driver/receiver count and DIP footprint, suitable as a functional replacement when the Sipex part is unavailable.
