Both chips are available on adapter boards from multiple vendors. Before committing to a PCB spin, buy both, test them on a breadboard with your actual power supply (use a variable bench supply to drop to 3.0V) and your actual cable length (use 2-3 meters). You will likely see the SP3232 outperform the MAX3232 at the edges. Then decide based on data, not datasheet claims.
One final tip: Always check the suffix of your chip (e.g., "E" or "EB"). These often denote higher temperature ranges or better ESD protection, which might be more important than the brand name itself! If you are looking for more technical details,3V vs 5V? Provide a for a standard RS-232 to TTL converter?
: It is designed to be a "drop-in" replacement for the MAX3232, meaning you don't have to change your PCB layout to switch between them.
