The MAX3222EEWN+T is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MAX3222E family of RS-232 transceivers. It is designed to be used in serial communication systems, providing reliable and robust data transmission between various devices.
The MAX3222EEWN+T operates with a single 3.0V to 5.5V power supply, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is particularly useful for battery-powered or portable devices that require low power consumption. The IC is housed in a space-saving wide SO package, which enhances its versatility and usability in compact designs.
One of the key features of the MAX3222EEWN+T is its compliance with the RS-232 standard. It offers two drivers and receivers, allowing bi-directional communication between two devices. With a data rate of up to 250kbps, it can handle high-speed transmission requirements.
The IC component integrates a charge pump and an auto-shutdown feature. The charge pump ensures the generation of RS-232-compatible voltage levels, eliminating the need for external capacitors and voltage level shifting components. The auto-shutdown feature allows the IC to automatically enter a low-power mode when there is no activity on the data lines, further reducing power consumption.
Another notable feature is its ESD protection capability
