The MAX3223IDBR is a highly integrated RS-232 transceiver that operates at data rates up to 230Kbps. It is a suitable solution for various applications requiring RS-232 communication in industrial and commercial environments. This IC component comes in a small SSOP package, making it ideal for space-constrained designs.
One of the key features of the MAX3223IDBR is its compatibility with both 3V and 5V logic levels, providing flexibility in connecting to different microcontrollers and devices. Additionally, it offers a ±15kV ESD protection on its RS-232 input/output pins, ensuring robustness and reliability.
The MAX3223IDBR integrates three drivers and five receivers, allowing full duplex communication with RS-232-compatible peripherals. Its transmitters employ a slew-rate-limited output, reducing electromagnetic interference and improving signal integrity. Moreover, the receiver inputs have a built-in fail-safe feature that guarantees a high output when the inputs are left open or shorted.
Another notable feature is the low power consumption, making it energy-efficient for portable or battery-powered applications. The MAX3223IDBR operates with a supply voltage range from 3V to 5.5V and consumes only 1μA of supply current when in shutdown mode.
Furthermore, the MAX3223IDBR supports multiple power-saving modes, such as a low-power shutdown mode and a low-power standby mode, which reduces power consumption when the circuit is idle
