MAX3243EAI Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3243EAI is a full-duplex RS232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices (formerly Maxim Integrated). This component is designed for applications requiring reliable serial communication, operating from a single +3.0V to +5.5V supply. It integrates a dual charge-pump power supply and a low-dropout transmitter to achieve true RS232 performance.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a data rate of 120Kbps and receiver hysteresis of 300mV. The device supports 3 drivers and 5 receivers, making it suitable for systems with multiple serial interfaces. It features Maxim's AutoShutdown™ technology, which reduces supply current to 1µA in shutdown mode when no valid signal is detected on the receiver inputs, conserving power in battery-powered and hand-held equipment.

 

The MAX3243EAI is supplied in a 28-SSOP package, designed for surface mounting. Its operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, ensuring reliable performance in various environmental conditions. This transceiver is ideal for peripherals and portable diagnostic equipment where efficient power management and robust serial communication are essential.

 

Applications include battery-powered equipment, hand-held devices, and various peripherals. The integrated charge pump simplifies power requirements by eliminating the need for a ±12V supply.
