Equivalent & Substitute Parts for GD65232PW

Part Overview

The Texas Instruments GD65232PW is a full-featured 3/5-channel RS232 transceiver integrated circuit designed for surface-mount applications in the interface category. It features a 20-TSSOP package and supports full-duplex communication with a data rate of 120Kbps. As the product status is listed as obsolete, sourcing this part for ongoing or new designs is no longer viable. Consequently, it is necessary to identify alternative models that can match the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the GD65232PW must be strictly based on matching the following key parameters: type (transceiver), protocol (RS232), number of drivers/receivers (3/5), duplex mode (full), receiver hysteresis (500 mV), data rate (120Kbps), supply voltage range, operating temperature, mounting type (surface mount), package/case dimensions (20-TSSOP), RoHS status, moisture sensitivity level (MSL), REACH status, and ECCN code. Only parts meeting all these specified characteristics within the given tolerances are considered direct equivalents.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between GD65232PW and ST75185CTR should consider part status, RoHS compliance, moisture sensitivity level, and REACH status. GD65232PW is marked as obsolete, while ST75185CTR is active. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, and both fall under ECCN EAR99. The moisture sensitivity level differs: GD65232PW is rated at MSL 1 (unlimited), whereas ST75185CTR is MSL 3 (168 hours). Make selection based strictly on available inventory and required compliance documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the main criteria for substituting the GD65232PW with another part?
A: Substitution requires strict equivalence in type, protocol, number of drivers/receivers, duplex operation, receiver hysteresis, data rate, voltage supply range, operating temperature, package/case specifications, mounting type, RoHS compliance, moisture sensitivity level, REACH status, and ECCN.

Q: Is the package and footprint of ST75185CTR identical to GD65232PW?
A: Both the GD65232PW and ST75185CTR use the 20-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm width) package, which supports direct footprint compatibility for surface-mount assembly.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance documentation that should be considered?
A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected with the same ECCN classification. The moisture sensitivity level differs: GD65232PW is MSL 1 (unlimited), ST75185CTR is MSL 3 (168 hours).

Q: What storage or handling considerations are required for the substitute?
A: ST75185CTR requires attention to J-STD-020 MSL 3 handling procedures, with a floor life of 168 hours, whereas GD65232PW is rated for unlimited floor life (MSL 1).

Q: Does the operating temperature range match exactly between GD65232PW and its substitute?
A: GD65232PW has an operating temperature of -40°C ~ 85°C; ST75185CTR is specified for 0°C ~ 70°C.

Q: Is the data rate supported by the substitute identical to the original part?
A: Both GD65232PW and ST75185CTR support a data rate of 120Kbps.
