MAX3241ECAI+ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3241ECAI+ is a +3.0V-powered EIA/TIA-232 transceiver from Analog Devices, designed for reliable serial communications. This device features a full duplex configuration with 3 drivers and 5 receivers, supporting data rates of 250kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels.

 

Operating from a voltage range of 3V to 5.5V, the MAX3241ECAI+ utilizes a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage powered by an internal dual charge pump. It includes enhanced electrostatic-discharge (ESD) protection on all transmitter outputs and receiver inputs, safeguarding against ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge and ±15kV using the Human Body Model.

 

This transceiver is available in a 28-SSOP package, suitable for surface mount applications. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The device also features a 1μA shutdown mode, allowing for reduced power consumption in battery-powered systems, while keeping receivers active for monitoring external devices.

 

Key specifications include 500mV of receiver hysteresis, ensuring robust signal reception. The MAX3241ECAI+ is designed for applications such as battery-powered equipment, notebook computers, and printers requiring efficient and protected serial communication interfaces.
