The SN75C3232D is an integrated circuit (IC) component that functions as a quad-channel, multipoint RS-232 data link. It provides an easy and efficient way to interface between low voltage TTL/CMOS logic levels and RS-232 signal levels. Here are some key features of the SN75C3232D:
1. Quad-Channel Operation: The IC contains four separate channels, allowing for the simultaneous operation of multiple data links. Each channel operates independently, providing flexibility in system design.
2. RS-232 Compliance: The SN75C3232D is fully compliant with RS-232C and V.28 standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of RS-232 devices. It supports the common RS-232 voltages of +3 to +15 volts for positive signals and -3 to -15 volts for negative signals.
3. Wide Supply Voltage Range: The IC operates with a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V. This wide range allows for easy integration into systems with different power supply configurations.
4. Low Power Consumption: The SN75C3232D is designed with low power consumption in mind, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. It includes a power-down mode that minimizes power consumption when the IC is not actively transmitting or receiving data
