MAX3243EIPWR Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Texas Instruments MAX3243EIPWR is a versatile RS-232 transceiver designed for single-supply operation from 3V to 5.5V. This device integrates three line drivers and five line receivers, making it suitable for applications requiring a standard serial port interface, such as those found in IBM PC/AT compatible systems.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a data rate of up to 500kbps and receiver hysteresis of 500mV. The transceiver offers robust ESD protection for RS-232 bus pins, rated at ±15kV for the Human-Body Model (HBM) and ±15kV for IEC61000-4-2 air-gap discharge, and ±8kV for IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

 

This component is supplied in a compact 28-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40mm Width) surface-mount package. It requires four external capacitors, each 0.1μF, for its dual charge-pump circuit. The MAX3243EIPWR also features low standby current, typically 1μA, and an auto-powerdown feature to conserve energy when no valid RS-232 signal is detected.

 

Designed to meet or exceed TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU v.28 standards, the MAX3243EIPWR is an excellent choice for battery-powered systems, PDAs, notebooks, laptops, and other portable or hand-held equipment requiring reliable serial communication.
