Maxim MAX3160/MAX3161/MAX3162 Programmable RS-232/RS-485/422 Multiprotocol Transceivers Datasheet
The MAX3160, MAX3161, and MAX3162 are pin‑programmable transceivers that can operate as a 2TX/2RX RS‑232 interface or a single RS‑485/422 transceiver (MAX3162 supports both simultaneously). They feature a proprietary low‑dropout transmitter stage, dual charge‑pump, true fail‑safe receivers, and selectable slew‑rate settings to reduce EMI.\n\nThese devices are offered in 20‑pin, 24‑pin, and 28‑pin SSOP packages and operate over commercial (0 °C to +70 °C) and extended (‑40 °C to +85 °C) temperature ranges. Electrical specifications include a supply range of +3 V to +5.5 V, 1 µA shutdown current, and data rates up to 1 Mbps in RS‑232 mode and 10 Mbps in RS‑485/422 mode.
