The SSOP footprint is common for serial transceivers and shares land pattern compatibility with many other 16-pin SSOP RS-232 parts. No thermal pad is present; junction temperature is managed through the board copper.
Yes, Texas Instruments lists the MAX3232EIDB as obsolete. For new designs or if a direct replacement is needed, consider the active MAX3232EIDBR variant or another pin-compatible MAX3232 family member.
