MAX3218EAP Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3218EAP is a low-power RS-232 transceiver from Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated, suitable for battery-powered applications requiring EIA/TIA-232E communication. It operates from a single supply voltage ranging from 1.8V to 4.25V, making it ideal for devices powered by two alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH cells.

 

This transceiver features a low supply current of just 1μA, achieved through Maxim's AutoShutdown™ technology. This feature automatically shuts down the power supply and drivers when no valid signal level is detected on the receiver inputs, conserving power without software changes. The system reactivates when a valid signal is applied.

 

With a guaranteed data rate of 120kbps, the MAX3218EAP ensures compatibility with common PC communication software. It offers two drivers and two receivers, with three-state receiver outputs for multi-standard bus configurations. The device is available in a 20-SSOP package and supports surface mount installation.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a wide operating voltage range and a low typical supply current. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, ensuring reliable performance in various environments. The transceiver supports full duplex communication.
