The MAX314CPE+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated Products. It is a low-power, programmable universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) device that offers enhanced features compared to traditional UARTs.
One of the key features of the MAX314CPE+ is its low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. It operates with a supply voltage ranging from 4.5V to 5.5V, and its low standby current of only 2µA helps conserve power when not in use.
The IC component supports a wide range of baud rates, ranging from 300bps to 115.2kbps, allowing flexibility in data transmission. It also offers three operating modes - full-duplex asynchronous, half-duplex synchronous, and synchronous modes - to accommodate different communication requirements.
The MAX314CPE+ incorporates an on-chip oscillator that simplifies the external component count, as it eliminates the need for an external crystal or resonator. This feature reduces the overall system cost and allows for easier circuit design.
Moreover, the IC component has an integrated 256-byte RAM, which can be used for buffering both transmit and receive data. This buffer helps optimize data transfer, allowing efficient communication even in scenarios with high data traffic.
Another essential feature of the MAX314CPE+ is its programmability, which allows customization of various parameters through software control. It enables flexible configuration of the UART, including word length, parity
