MAX3161EEAG+T Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Analog Devices MAX3161EEAG+T is a programmable RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 multiprotocol transceiver. It offers flexible operation, allowing pin-programmable configuration as a 2Tx/2Rx RS-232 interface or a single RS-485/RS-422 transceiver. This device features enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, with transmitter outputs and receiver inputs protected to ±15kV using the Human Body Model.

 

The MAX3161EEAG+T operates from a +3V to +5.5V supply, eliminating the need for a bipolar ±12V supply. It supports data rates up to 10Mbps in RS-485/RS-422 mode and up to 1Mbps in RS-232 mode. Slew-rate limiting is pin-selectable to minimize EMI and reduce cable reflections, enabling error-free data transmission up to 250kbps. The transceiver is housed in a 24-SSOP package and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

 

Applications for this transceiver include point-of-sales equipment, industrial controls, networking peripherals, security systems, and interface converters. Its integrated charge pump circuitry saves board space, and it offers true fail-safe receiver operation to prevent false transitions on receiver input shorts or opens. The device also includes short-circuit and thermal protection.
