The MAX3212EAI 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, maintaining true RS-232 levels across the operating range. This device offers a guaranteed data rate of 235kbps, ensuring compatibility with popular PC communication software.
A key feature is the proprietary AutoShutdown mode, which reduces supply current to as low as 1µA when no valid signal is detected on receiver inputs or when the connection is inactive for extended periods. This power-saving functionality operates without requiring changes to existing software.
The MAX3212EAI is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package and is suitable for surface-mount applications. It includes 3 RS-232 drivers and 5 RS-232 receivers, with three-state drivers on receiver outputs for wire-ORing multiple receivers at the UART. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C.
Applications for this transceiver include notebook and palmtop computers, peripherals, instruments, and battery-powered equipment where power efficiency and reliable serial communication are critical.
