This datasheet provides technical parameters, pin definitions, application circuits, etc. of MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/MAX3246E
The MAX3222E, MAX3232E, MAX3237E, MAX3241E, and MAX3246E are +15 kV ESD‑protected RS‑232 transceiver devices that operate from a 3.0 V to 5.5 V supply. They provide true RS‑232 voltage levels, support data rates up to 1 Mbps (MegaBaud mode), and include shutdown modes that reduce power consumption for battery‑powered applications.
The devices are offered in compact SO, SSOP, TQFN, and TSSOP packages and include detailed pin‑out tables, absolute‑maximum‑rating limits, electrical characteristics, timing parameters, and package dimensions. Ordering information and revision history are also provided for reference.
