The MAX213EAI+T is an integrated circuit (IC) component that offers significant features for communication applications. This device, manufactured by Maxim Integrated, is primarily designed to provide a complete interface solution for low-power RS-232 serial communication systems. Its key features make it an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial, medical, and consumer applications.
One significant feature of the MAX213EAI+T is its integrated charge pump circuitry, which allows the IC to generate a reliable RS-232 voltage levels from a low-voltage power supply (3.0V to 5.5V). This eliminates the need for an external power supply, making the component highly efficient in terms of power consumption. The device further reduces power requirements through a low-power shutdown mode, activating when no communication activity is detected.
Another notable feature of the MAX213EAI+T is its high-speed capability, supporting data rates up to 120kbps. This makes it suitable for applications demanding fast and reliable serial communication. Additionally, the IC supports full-duplex communication, enabling simultaneous transmission and reception of data. The integrated receiver and transmitter circuits provide ±15kV ESD protection on RS-232 I/O pins, ensuring robust and reliable communication.
The MAX213EAI+T incorporates a five-channel digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that allows programmable control of the RS-232 output voltage levels
