Product details

At 400kbps the ST202CDR handles standard UART speeds with margin. The 500 mV hysteresis on the receiver inputs helps reject ground-shift noise.

Package and mounting — 16-SOIC surface-mount fit

Surface-mount package with 0.154" body width and 3.90 mm height. The supplier device package is 16-SO.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to ST202CDR?

The ST202CDR is a full-duplex RS232 transceiver with 2/2 drivers/receivers at 400kbps. A common cross-shop candidate is the MAX232 family, which shares the same 16-SOIC footprint and 5V supply but typically runs at 120kbps — the ST202CDR offers higher data rate and 500 mV hysteresis for better noise margin. Verify pinout and capacitor values against your layout before substituting.

What is ST202CDR's listed type and duplex?

The ST202CDR is a Transceiver with Full duplex operation, meaning it can transmit and receive simultaneously on separate pairs.
