MAX253CSA+ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX253CSA+ from Analog Devices is a monolithic oscillator and power driver specifically engineered to provide isolated power for RS-485 or RS-232 data interfaces. This device drives a center-tapped transformer primary from a single 5V or 3.3V DC power supply, allowing the secondary to be wound for any required isolated voltage up to 1W.

 

Key features include pin-selectable frequencies of 350kHz or 200kHz and a low-current shutdown mode drawing only 0.4µA. The MAX253CSA+ is housed in an 8-SOIC package, minimizing board space. It is suitable for applications requiring high noise-immunity communications interfaces, isolated power supplies, and bridging ground differentials.

 

Designed for ease of implementation, the MAX253CSA+ integrates an oscillator with a pair of N-channel power switches. The oscillator operates at double the output frequency, feeding a toggle flip-flop to ensure a 50% duty cycle for each switch, with internal delays ensuring break-before-make action. The device operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C and is surface-mount compatible.
