MAX3221CAE+TG002

The MAX3221CAE+TG002 is an integrated circuit component that belongs to the MAX3221 series, which is a family of RS-232 transceivers designed to interface between low-voltage systems that use TTL logic levels and RS-232-compatible devices. The MAX3221CAE+TG002 is a surface-mount device (SMD) package with 16 pins. This IC component offers several key features that make it a versatile choice for various applications requiring RS-232 communication. Firstly, it operates from a single power supply voltage ranging from 3.0V to 5.5V, enabling it to work with a wide range of systems. It also has a low power consumption mode, making it energy-efficient and suitable for battery-powered devices. The MAX3221CAE+TG002 has a high data rate capability of up to 230kbps, ensuring reliable and fast communication. It is equipped with a charge pump that generates the required voltages for the RS-232 levels, eliminating the need for external capacitors. This feature simplifies the design and minimizes the component count and board space required. Another essential feature is the 1μA shutdown mode, which enables power conservation when the IC is not in use. The MAX3221CAE+TG002 also incorporates internal electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, ensuring the robustness of the device
