The MAX3160ECAP+ is a ±15KV ESD-protected, multiprotocol transceiver compatible with RS232, RS485, and RS422 standards. Operating from 3V to 5.5V, it consumes only 10nA of current and is housed in a 20-pin SSOP package. The device can be configured via pins as either a two-transmitter/two-receiver RS232 interface or a single half/full duplex RS485/RS422 transceiver. It features enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, with transmitter outputs and receiver inputs protected to ±15KV using the Human Body Model. The transceiver includes a low dropout transmitter output stage and onboard dual charge pump circuitry, enabling compliance with RS232 and RS485/RS422 standards over a supply voltage range of 3V to 5.5V. It offers pin-selectable transmitter slew rates for different modes to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reflection issues, ensuring error-free data transmission up to 250 Kbps. When slew rate limiting is disabled, it supports data rates up to 10 Mbps in RS485/RS422 mode and up to 1 Mbps in RS232 mode. Additional features include support for up to 256 transceivers on a bus, an operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C, protection against wiring faults, true fail-safe receivers to prevent false triggering, short circuit protection across the entire common mode voltage range, thermal protection, integrated charge pumps for space savings, and a low power shutdown mode consuming only 1µA.
