This document details the characteristics of MAX563, including support for EIA/TIA-562 standard, dual transmitters and receivers, 116kbps data rate, ±3.7V EIA/TIA-562 signal levels, operation from a single power supply of +3.0V to +3.6V, 2 drivers, 2 receivers, low-power shutdown mode, 18-pin wide SO package, and three-state TTL/CMOS receiver.
The MAX563 transceiver from Maxim operates from a single +3.0 V to +3.6 V supply and provides two independent transmitters and two receivers that meet the EIA/TIA‑562 standard. It includes on‑board charge‑pump converters that generate the required ±6.6 V levels and can shut down to a 10 µA current while keeping the receivers active.
The device is offered in an 18‑pin wide‑SO package and requires only two 0.1 µF charge‑pump capacitors plus a bypass capacitor. Electrical specifications such as supply voltage range, data rate, and output voltage levels are detailed in the datasheet, along with pin descriptions and application notes for hand‑held terminals, barcode readers, and notebook computers.
