List for ultra-high speed (1Mbps+) communication? sp3232 vs max3232
While the datasheet numbers look similar, the SP3232 was introduced several years after the MAX3232. Sipex designed the SP3232 specifically to address two weaknesses of the original MAX3232: and low-voltage startup behavior . 3- to 5
If you are running from a lithium-ion battery (which drops from 4.2V to 3.0V as it discharges) and using 3.3V logic, the SP3232 will maintain reliable communication for longer before the battery undervoltage lockout shuts down the system. The MAX3232 might show intermittent errors as the battery approaches 3.2V. Sipex designed the SP3232 specifically to address two
