MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX3238CAI RS-232 Transceiver
The MAX3238 is a high-efficiency RS-232 transceiver with AutoShutdown Plus feature, operating from a single 3.0V to 5.5V power supply. It provides 5-driver and 3-receiver channels, offering true RS-232 performance with guaranteed data rates up to 250kbps. The device automatically powers down after 30 seconds of inactivity, saving power, and reactivates on valid signal transitions. Its dual charge pump generates ±5.5V supplies internally, supporting high data integrity and low power consumption ideal for notebook, modem, and peripheral applications in both 3.3V and 5V systems. Compact SSOP package for space-saving designs.
