MAX3218CAP+ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3218CAP+ is an RS-232 transceiver from Analog Devices, engineered for battery-powered applications requiring minimal power consumption. It operates from a single +1.8V to +4.25V supply, maintaining true RS-232 voltage levels. This transceiver is ideal for devices such as subnotebook computers, PDAs, and cellular phones.

 

Key features include a low supply current of 1μA using the AutoShutdown™ function, which conserves power when no valid signal is detected on the receiver inputs. It guarantees a 120kbps data rate, ensuring compatibility with standard PC communication software. The device offers two drivers and two receivers, with three-state receiver outputs for flexible bus configurations.

 

The MAX3218CAP+ is available in a compact 20-pin SSOP package, suitable for surface-mount applications. Its flow-through pinout simplifies board layout. The operating temperature range is from 0°C to 70°C, making it suitable for a variety of environmental conditions.
