MAX3243CPW Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Texas Instruments MAX3243CPW is a multichannel RS-232 line driver and receiver designed for single-supply operation from 3V to 5.5V. This device integrates three drivers and five receivers, making it suitable for applications requiring robust serial communication.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum data rate of 250kbps and ±15kV ESD protection using the Human-Body Model (HBM). The transceiver meets or exceeds TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU V.28 standards. It features low active current consumption of 300μA typical and a low standby current of 1μA typical, with an auto-powerdown feature to conserve energy when signals are not sensed.

 

The MAX3243CPW is available in a 28-TSSOP surface mount package. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The device accepts 5V logic input with a 3.3V supply and includes an always-active noninverting receiver output (ROUT2B). It also supports serial-mouse driveability and requires external capacitors for operation.

 

This transceiver is ideal for interfacing with serial ports on IBM PC/AT compatible systems and other devices requiring RS-232 communication. Its combination of features, including ESD protection and low power consumption, makes it a versatile choice for various embedded systems and industrial applications.
