MAX3241ECAI Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3241ECAI is a +3.0V-powered EIA/TIA-232 transceiver from Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated, designed for high data-rate communications. This device features 3 drivers and 5 receivers, supporting a full duplex configuration.

 

It operates with a supply voltage range of 3V to 5.5V and supports data rates up to 250kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels. The transceiver offers enhanced electrostatic-discharge (ESD) protection, safeguarding against ±15kV using the Human Body Model and ±8kV via contact discharge according to IEC 1000-4-2 standards.

 

Packaged in a 28-SSOP, the MAX3241ECAI is suitable for surface mount applications. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The device also includes a low-power shutdown mode, consuming only 1μA while keeping receivers active for monitoring external devices.

 

This transceiver is ideal for battery-powered equipment, notebook computers, and peripheral applications requiring reliable serial communication.
