MAX3221EAE Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3221EAE is a single-chip, 1-driver, 1-receiver RS-232 transceiver designed for battery-powered and hand-held equipment. It operates from a wide input voltage range of +3.0V to +5.5V, simplifying power requirements by eliminating the need for a ±12V supply.

 

A key feature is Maxim's AutoShutdown™ technology, which reduces the supply current to 1µA when no valid signal is detected on the receiver inputs. This power-saving feature is automatically enabled after 30µs of inactivity and can also be software-controlled.

 

The device is available in a compact 16-pin TSSOP package, suitable for space-constrained applications. Its integrated charge pump circuitry and low-dropout transmitter ensure true RS-232 performance from a single supply.

 

Applications include battery-powered equipment, hand-held devices, and portable diagnostic equipment where low power consumption and reliable serial communication are essential.
