The MAX3238EAI+ is a 5-driver, 3-receiver RS-232 transceiver designed for notebook and subnotebook computer applications. It operates from a single +3.0V to +5.5V supply, delivering true RS-232 performance.
Key features include a guaranteed data rate of 250kbps and a low supply current of 1µA, achieved through Maxim's AutoShutdown Plus feature. This feature conserves power by shutting down the device when no valid signal transitions are detected on receiver or transmitter inputs for 30 seconds.
The transceiver meets EIA/TIA-232 specifications down to 3.0V and requires minimal external capacitance (0.1µF for 3.3V operation). It is suitable for 3.3V-only, mixed 3.3V/5.0V, or 5V-only systems requiring true RS-232 performance.
Packaged in a space-saving 28-SSOP, the MAX3238EAI+ is ideal for battery-powered equipment, hand-held devices, and peripherals like printers.
