Maxim MAX216 Low-Power AppleTalk Interface Transceiver Datasheet
The MAX216 transceiver is designed for AppleTalk interfaces, providing one differential and one single‑ended driver together with a differential and two single‑ended receivers. It meets AppleTalk transceiver specifications and offers both RS‑422 and EIA/TIA‑232/562 compatible driver/receiver options.
Key features include a low 3 mA maximum operational supply current, a shutdown‑mode current of only 30 µA, +5 V output voltage range, and a common‑mode range up to +7 V. The datasheet details absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics, pin functions, and timing test circuits for both drivers and receivers.
