MAX3218EAP+T Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3218EAP+T is a full RS-232 transceiver from Analog Devices, suitable for battery-powered communication interfaces requiring minimal power consumption. It operates from a single supply voltage range of +1.8V to +4.25V, maintaining true RS-232 voltage levels.

 

Key features include a low supply current of 1μA, achieved through Maxim's AutoShutdown technology, which powers down the device when no valid signal is detected on the receiver inputs. This conserves power without requiring software changes. The transceiver supports a guaranteed data rate of 120kbps, ensuring compatibility with common PC communication software.

 

Designed with two drivers and two receivers, the MAX3218EAP+T offers three-state receiver outputs. It is available in a compact 20-pin SSOP surface-mount package, making it ideal for space-constrained applications. The device is well-suited for use in battery-powered equipment, subnotebook computers, PDAs, hand-held devices, cellular phones, and other peripherals.

 

This transceiver operates over an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Its flow-through pinout and on-board DC-DC converters simplify design and reduce component count.
