MAX3212CAI Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3212CAI is a transceiver IC designed for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 serial interfaces. It operates from a single +2.7V to +3.6V power supply and maintains true RS-232 levels across the operating range. This device offers a guaranteed data rate of 235kbps, making it compatible with popular PC communication software.

 

Key features include Maxim's proprietary Auto-Shutdown mode, which reduces supply current to 1µA when no valid signal is detected on receiver inputs, saving power without software changes. It also incorporates a transition detector for automatic shutdown during inactive connections.

 

The MAX3212CAI is available in a 28-pin SSOP package and is suitable for surface mounting. It meets all EIA/TIA-232E and EIA/TIA-562 specifications and is guaranteed for mouse driveability. The device includes low-cost, surface-mount external components and offers +5V logic compatibility.
