MAX3232ECAE Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3232ECAE is a transceiver IC from Analog Devices, designed for EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces. It operates on a 3.0V to 5.5V power supply, offering low power consumption and high data rate capabilities.

 

This device features a full duplex configuration with 2 drivers and 2 receivers, supporting data rates up to 1Mbps. It includes enhanced electrostatic-discharge (ESD) protection for transmitter outputs and receiver inputs, rated up to ±15kV using the Human Body Model and ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 contact discharge.

 

The MAX3232ECAE is available in a 16-SSOP package, suitable for surface mount applications. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Some variants offer a 1μA shutdown mode for reduced power consumption in battery-powered systems, while keeping receivers active for monitoring.

 

This transceiver is ideal for applications such as battery-powered equipment, cell phones, notebooks, and printers requiring reliable serial communication.
