XL232K – RS-232 Transceiver – Xinluda

The Xinluda XL232K is a +5V-powered, multichannel RS-232 driver/receiver (2 drivers, 2 receivers) in a wide-body SOP-16(W) package, functionally compatible with the industry-standard MAX232. Available for RFQ from Pacific Component Xchange.

The Xinluda XL232K is a +5V-powered, multichannel RS-232 driver/receiver IC designed for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces, particularly applications where a bipolar +/-12V supply is not available. It integrates dual on-chip charge pumps that generate the bipolar RS-232 line voltages from a single +5V rail, eliminating the need for a dual supply. With two drivers and two receivers, the XL232K shares the industry-standard MAX232 pinout and function, making it a cost-effective option for serial communication ports in industrial and consumer electronics.

Key Features

• +5V single-supply operation with integrated dual charge-pump voltage converter
• 2 drivers and 2 receivers (dual-channel RS-232 transceiver)
• Driver output voltage swing typically +/-7.3V (guaranteed +/-5.0V minimum into a 3 kOhm load)
• Receiver input voltage operating range -30V to +30V; receiver input hysteresis typically 0.5V
• Requires four external 1 uF (1uF/16V) charge-pump capacitors, plus a matching VCC decoupling capacitor
• VCC supply current typically 8 mA (16 mA max) with no load at 25 C
• Operating temperature range: -40 C to +85 C
• Wide-body SOP-16(W) surface-mount package
• Pin- and function-compatible with the industry-standard MAX232 family

Applications

• RS-232 serial communication ports and interface translation
• Industrial automation and control equipment
• Multidrop RS-232 networks
• Portable diagnostics and data-acquisition equipment
• Embedded systems and legacy peripheral interfaces

Why Source XL232K from Pacific Component Xchange

The XL232K is an Asian-market RS-232 transceiver with limited authorized-distributor coverage in North America and Europe, which can make it difficult to source through mainstream channels. As an independent distributor specializing in hard-to-find interface and power-management ICs, Pacific Component Xchange helps engineers and buyers secure the XL232K and compatible MAX232-class parts even when standard supply lines are constrained or obsolete. Every order is backed by authenticity verification and rigorous incoming inspection, with global shipping to keep your production lines running.
