The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/MAX3246E are +3.0V-powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communication interface devices that offer low power consumption, high data rate capabilities, and enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.
The Maxim MAX3222E, MAX3232E, MAX3237E, MAX3241E, and MAX3246E are low‑power, ESD‑protected RS‑232 transceiver devices that operate from 3.0 V to 5.5 V and support data rates up to 1 Mbps. They feature dual charge‑pump architecture, shutdown mode with ultra‑low quiescent current, and are offered in compact SO, SSOP, TQFN and TSSOP packages.
The document provides detailed electrical characteristics, timing specifications, absolute maximum ratings, pin descriptions, ordering information, and package outlines for each part, enabling designers to select the appropriate device and integrate it into battery‑powered or space‑constrained applications.
