MAX3218CAP Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3218CAP is a versatile RS-232 transceiver from Analog Devices, engineered for battery-powered applications requiring minimal power consumption. It operates from a single supply voltage ranging from 1.8V to 4.25V, maintaining true RS-232 voltage levels.

 

This transceiver boasts a guaranteed data rate of 120kbps, ensuring compatibility with standard communication software. A key feature is the AutoShutdown™ function, which reduces supply current to as low as 1μA when no valid signal is detected on the receiver inputs, saving power when the cable is disconnected or peripherals are off. The system automatically reactivates upon detecting a valid signal.

 

Available in a 20-pin SSOP package, the MAX3218CAP is suitable for surface mount applications. Its design includes two drivers and two receivers, making it ideal for interfaces that need efficient and reliable serial communication in portable devices such as subnotebook computers, PDAs, and cellular phones.
