MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX3238EEAI RS232 Transceiver

The MAX3238EEAI+ is a low-power RS232 transceiver operating from a supply voltage between 3V and 5.5V, with a typical current of 10nA and a data rate of 250Kbps. It features ±15KV ESD protection on I/O and logic pins and is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package. This device utilizes Maxim's AutoShutdown Plus technology to minimize power consumption by shutting down the on-board power supply and drivers when no valid signal transition is detected, such as when the RS232 cable is disconnected or connected peripherals are powered off. It automatically reactivates upon detecting a valid signal transition. The transceiver includes a high-efficiency dual charge-pump power supply, a low dropout transmitter, five drivers, and three receivers, suitable for various communication applications. It operates reliably over a temperature range from -40°C to 85°C, with enhanced ESD protection, meets EIA/TIA-232 specifications down to 3V, and features a slew rate of 6V/μs with RS232-compatible outputs up to 2.7V. All inputs are protected with Schmitt triggers, ensuring robust performance in industrial and portable device applications.
