| Attribute | MAX3232+ (example) | SP3232+ (example) | |---|---:|---:| | Supply range | 3.0–5.5 V | 3.0–5.5 V | | Quiescent current | Low (µA–mA range) | Varies by vendor | | RS-232 output swing | ±x V into 3 kΩ | ±y V into 3 kΩ | | Max data rate | up to ~1 Mbps | up to ~1 Mbps | | ESD (HBM) | up to ±15 kV (device dependent) | vendor-specific | | Shutdown pin | yes/no, thresholds | yes/no, thresholds | | Packages | SOIC, TSSOP, MSOP | SOIC, TSSOP, MSOP |
(Replace x/y and other values with exact datasheet numbers when finalizing design decisions.)
Both chips are functionally interchangeable for most 3V‑to‑5V RS‑232 serial links. Exclusively choose MAX3232 if your design demands auto‑power‑down and you stick to the commercial temperature range. Exclusively choose SP3232 if you need extended temperature operation (125°C), fixed 0.1μF capacitors, higher hysteresis for noise immunity, or ultra‑compact QFN packaging. For new “green” and space‑constrained industrial designs, the SP3232 often holds the exclusive edge.
Both chips require external 0.1µF charge-pump capacitors. However, the SP3232 is more forgiving.
Exclusive Tip: For cost-reduced designs, the SP3232 lets you use cheaper, higher-tolerance capacitors without re-engineering.
At exactly 3.0V, the MAX3232’s output voltage swing drops to ±3.7V—marginally above the RS-232 minimum (±3V). The SP3232E maintains a ±4.5V swing at 3.0V due to its improved MOSFET switch resistance.
What this means: In low-battery conditions (e.g., 2xAA cells discharging), the SP3232 remains compliant longer.
A manufacturer of portable ECG devices switched from MAX3232 to SP3232E after field failures due to ESD from patient cables. Result: Failure rate dropped from 2.5% to 0.1% over 12 months.
A chip’s technical merit means nothing if you cannot buy it. As of 2025, the semiconductor landscape has shifted.

Commandos 3 – HD Remaster is out now for PC, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch™. Play it on console and PC with Xbox Game Pass.
Please choose a platform and version first.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin was developed by Pyro Studios in Spain in 2003 and continued the genre-defining game series. For many gamers, the games of the Commandos series were among the most played video games from 1998 onwards; and the nerve-wracking feeling when the enemy's vision cone turned from green to red was one of the most memorable gaming experiences.
With Commandos 3 – HD Remaster, Raylight Studios and Kalypso Media allow you to take on tough military challenges in stunning high-definition visuals with improved controls and a modern user interface.
A great focus was making the sometimes-complex handling more intuitive and easier to access, without losing sight of the challenging core of Commandos.
In addition to a PC version, Commandos 3 – HD Remaster is available on PS4™, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch™. The controls have been completely reworked and perfectly adapted to the controller.
The easy introduction to the various control options is offered by an extensively adapted tutorial for the input with a gamepad. In addition, the optimized aiming system offers better and more intuitive control when playing on the console.
The PS4 and Xbox One Commandos 3 – HD Remaster versions are upward compatible and thus also playable on the Playstation®5 and Xbox Series X|S.
