MAX3238ECAI Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3238ECAI is a full duplex RS232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices. It integrates five drivers and three receivers, making it suitable for various communication interfaces. This device operates from a wide supply voltage range of +3.0V to +5.5V and supports guaranteed data rates of 250kbps, ensuring compatibility with popular software.

 

Key features include enhanced ESD protection on all I/O and logic pins up to ±15kV, and a low-power shutdown mode that consumes only 10nA. The transceiver utilizes a dual charge-pump power supply for high efficiency. It is supplied in a 28-SSOP package and is designed for surface mount applications.

 

This transceiver is ideal for applications such as cell phones, data cables, and modem interfaces where reliable RS232 communication is required. The AutoShutdown Plus feature automatically manages power consumption by shutting down drivers and receivers when not in use, further reducing power draw to 10nA.
