MAX3160CAP Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3160CAP is a programmable multiprotocol transceiver from Maxim Integrated, supporting RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422 standards. It operates from a wide supply voltage range of +3V to +5.5V, making it suitable for various applications. The device features pin-programmable configurations, allowing it to function as a 2TX/2RX RS-232 interface or a single RS-485/422 transceiver.

 

Key electrical characteristics include data rates up to 10Mbps in RS-485/422 mode and up to 1Mbps in RS-232 mode when slew-rate limiting is disabled. With slew-rate limiting enabled, error-free data transmission is supported up to 250kbps, minimizing EMI and cable reflections. The transceiver also boasts a low shutdown supply current of 1µA, contributing to power savings.

 

This device is available in a compact SSOP-20 package and is designed for surface mount applications. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The MAX3160CAP integrates features like a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage and an on-board dual charge pump, eliminating the need for bipolar supplies and saving board space.
