MAX3162ECAI+T

The MAX3162ECAI+T is an integrated circuit (IC) component primarily used for communication applications. It is a quad universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) featuring 128-byte FIFOs and a flexible clock prescaler. This device is manufactured by Maxim Integrated. With a high-speed serial interface, the MAX3162ECAI+T supports various UART protocols, making it suitable for applications involving data communication between microcontrollers, personal computers, and peripheral devices. It operates with a wide voltage range of 1.62V to 1.98V, offering compatibility with various voltage levels. One of the key features of the MAX3162ECAI+T is its versatile clock prescaler. This feature allows users to select different clock sources and configure the appropriate baud rates to match their specific communication requirements. Moreover, its 128-byte FIFOs ensure efficient data buffering, minimizing the risk of data loss during high-speed transfers. Another notable feature is the advanced autonomous protocol control that manages the automatic generation of start, stop, and parity bits. This simplifies the firmware development process and reduces the burden on the microcontroller. The IC also includes a programmable interrupt output, which aids in notifying the controller of important events, such as data reception or transmission completion. The MAX3162ECAI+T boasts ESD protection on its transmitter outputs and receiver inputs, guarding against electrostatic discharge
