MAX3243ECPWR Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Texas Instruments MAX3243ECPWR is a multichannel RS-232 line driver/receiver designed for single-supply operation from 3V to 5.5V. This transceiver offers 3 drivers and 5 receivers, making it suitable for various serial communication applications.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum data rate of 500kbps and a logic voltage range starting at 3.3V. The device provides robust ESD protection, including ±15kV Human Body Model (HBM) and ±15kV IEC61000-4-2 air-gap discharge protection for RS-232 bus pins. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and features a low standby current of 1µA typical.

 

Packaged in a 28-TSSOP, the MAX3243ECPWR is designed for surface mounting. It meets or exceeds TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU V.28 standards. The auto-powerdown feature helps conserve power by disabling driver outputs when no valid RS-232 signal is sensed. This component is interchangeable with Maxim's MAX3243E.
