The MAX3238EAI is a true RS-232 transceiver designed for notebook and subnotebook computer applications. It features Maxim's AutoShutdown Plus technology, reducing supply current to 1µA when no valid signal transitions are detected.
This transceiver operates from a single +3.0V to +5.5V supply, delivering true RS-232 performance at guaranteed data rates of 250kbps. It requires minimal external components, needing only 0.1µF capacitors for 3.3V operation. The device is ideal for 3.3V-only, mixed 3.3V/5.0V, or 5V-only systems requiring RS-232 communication.
Key electrical specifications include a guaranteed slew rate of 6V/µs and receiver hysteresis of 300mV. The MAX3238EAI is housed in a space-saving 28-SSOP package and is suitable for surface mount applications. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
Applications include battery-powered equipment, hand-held devices, peripherals, and high-speed modems where low power consumption and reliable serial communication are essential.
