The Texas Instruments MAX3222 is a versatile RS-232 line driver and receiver designed for various applications, including battery-powered systems, PDAs, notebooks, and laptops. This device integrates two line drivers and two line receivers, along with a dual charge-pump circuit, providing robust ±15kV ESD protection on its serial port connection pins.
The MAX3222 operates efficiently from a single 3V to 5.5V supply, making it suitable for a wide range of portable and embedded systems. It supports data signaling rates up to 250 kbps and can accept 5V logic input when operating with a 3.3V supply. The device also offers a low standby current of 1 µA typical, which is crucial for power-sensitive applications. When placed in power-down mode, receivers remain active while drivers are in a high-impedance state.
Available in SOIC, SSOP, and TSSOP packages, the MAX3222 requires four small external capacitors for operation. Its design meets or exceeds the requirements of TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU v.28 standards, ensuring reliable serial communication.
For applications requiring higher speeds, the pin-compatible SNx5C3222 offers 1 Mbps data rates.
