MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX221EAE RS-232 Transceiver

The MAX221EAE+ is a 5V-powered single RS232 transceiver housed in a 16-pin SSOP package. It features automatic shutdown and wake-up capabilities, enabling high data rate communication with a maximum data rate of 250 kbps. The device includes an internal dual charge pump that generates the necessary positive and negative voltages from a single 5V supply, facilitating RS232 signal levels. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and an temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. The MAX221EAE+ consumes a low supply current of approximately 5mA and offers transmitter and receiver skew times of 200ns and 50ns respectively. The AutoShutdown feature conserves power by switching to low power mode when the RS232 cable is disconnected or the connected device’s transmitter is off, and it automatically wakes up when an active cable is connected. Typical applications include communications and networking, industrial equipment, consumer electronics, and portable devices.
