MAX3221EAE+TG1Z

The MAX3221EAE+TG1Z is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MAX3221 series of RS-232 transceivers. It is designed for low-power applications and provides a convenient interface between high-voltage RS-232 and low-voltage microcontrollers. The IC operates on a single 3.0V to 5.5V power supply, making it suitable for use in a wide range of portable and power-constrained devices. It can tolerate voltage swings up to ±25V on the RS-232 inputs and outputs without compromising the performance. The device features three drivers and five receivers, allowing full-duplex communication. One of the key features of the MAX3221EAE+TG1Z is its low power consumption, drawing only 1μA of supply current when in shutdown mode. This makes it an ideal choice for battery-operated applications where power efficiency is crucial. Additionally, the IC offers high data rates of up to 250kbps, enabling fast and reliable data transmission. Another notable feature of the MAX3221EAE+TG1Z is its integrated ESD protection, which guards against electrostatic discharge events up to ±15kV without the need for external components. This protection ensures the robustness and reliability of the device in harsh industrial environments. The IC is available in a compact 16-pin TSSOP package, providing a small footprint for space-constrained applications
