Maxim MAX3421E USB Peripheral/Host Controller with SPI Interface Datasheet
The MAX3421E is a USB peripheral/host controller that provides a full‑speed USB peripheral and full/low‑speed host compliant with USB specification rev 2.0. It includes an integrated transceiver with +15 kV ESD protection, programmable USB connect/disconnect, and an internal serial interface engine that handles low‑level USB protocol tasks.
The device is accessed via a 3‑ or 4‑wire SPI interface that can run up to 26 MHz and supports system voltages from 1.4 V to 3.6 V. It offers eight general‑purpose inputs and eight outputs, multiple FIFO buffers, and a range of registers for both peripheral and host operation. The MAX3421E is supplied in 32‑pin TQFP and TQFN packages and operates from –40 °C to +85 °C.
