MAX253ESA Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX253ESA is a monolithic oscillator and power-driver IC from Analog Devices, 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 required isolated voltage 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 MAX253ESA features a low-current shutdown mode of 0.4µA and pin-selectable frequencies of 350kHz or 200kHz.

 

Designed for applications requiring high noise immunity and isolated power supplies, such as process control and medical equipment, the MAX253ESA is housed in a compact 8-SOIC package. Its surface mount configuration is suitable for minimal board space requirements. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for various industrial environments.
