MAX253CSA Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX253CSA from Analog Devices is a monolithic oscillator and power-driver IC specifically engineered to provide isolated power for RS-485 or RS-232 data interfaces. It drives a center-tapped transformer primary from a single 5V or 3.3V DC power supply, enabling the secondary to provide any isolated voltage needed for power levels up to 1W.

 

This device integrates a CMOS 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 MAX253CSA features pin-selectable frequencies of 350kHz or 200kHz and a low-current shutdown mode drawing only 0.4µA.

 

Designed for applications requiring high noise immunity and isolated power supplies, such as process control and medical equipment, the MAX253CSA is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package, minimizing board space. Its interface capabilities include RS232 and RS485, and it operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
