The maximum cable length supported by the ST232ACTR is 100 meters (328 feet) at a data rate of 115.2 kbps. However, this length can be affected by factors such as cable quality, noise, and baud rate.
Yes, the ST232ACTR is designed to operate in harsh environments, including industrial and automotive applications. It has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and is resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI).
The ST232ACTR has built-in error detection and correction mechanisms, including parity checking, stop bit checking, and framing error detection. It also supports flow control using RTS/CTS and XON/XOFF protocols to prevent data transmission errors.
Yes, the ST232ACTR is compatible with other UART devices that conform to the RS-232 standard. It is also compatible with other STMicroelectronics UART devices, such as the ST232AC and ST232AI.
The power consumption of the ST232ACTR depends on the operating mode and the supply voltage. In normal operation, the device consumes around 5 mA at 5V supply voltage. In low-power mode, the device consumes around 1 mA at 5V supply voltage.
