The MAX3180E-MAX3183E is a single RS-232 receiver from Maxim that is designed for space- and cost-constrained applications. It has extremely low power consumption and heat dissipation, consuming only 0.5µA of supply current from a +3.0V to +5.5V supply. The device also supports a data rate of up to 1.5Mbps.
The MAX3180E–MAX3183E family provides compact, low‑power RS‑232 receivers designed for space‑ and cost‑constrained applications. Each device operates from a +3 V to +5.5 V supply, draws only 0.5 µA, and supports data rates up to 1.5 Mbps while offering robust ±15 kV ESD protection.
Typical applications include diagnostic ports, telecommunications equipment, set‑top boxes, digital cameras and hand‑held devices. The series offers both inverting and non‑inverting outputs, an enable pin (EN) on the MAX3180E/MAX3182E, and an INVALID output on the MAX3181E/MAX3183E for automatic wake‑up detection.
