Maxim MAX3325 3V Dual RS-232 Transceiver with LCD Supply and Contrast Controller Datasheet
The MAX3325 is a 3 V dual RS‑232 transceiver that integrates an LCD supply, a temperature‑compensated contrast controller, and a 6‑bit DAC. It is designed for small battery‑powered instruments such as PDAs, handheld terminals, GPS receivers, medical equipment, and industrial test gear, providing a regulated 5 V output at up to 11 mA and selectable LCD bias.
The device includes independent shutdown control for the RS‑232 and LCD sections, a charge‑pump based dual‑voltage regulator, and a full set of pin functions for easy integration. It is offered in 28‑pin SSOP and narrow‑DIP packages and meets EIA‑232E specifications up to 250 kbps.
