MAX3241 Datasheet PDF

●The MAX3241EAI+ is a low power true RS232 transceiver in 28 pin SSOP package. This transceiver has low dropout transmitter output stage enabling true RS232 performance from 3V to 5.5V supply with dual charge pump. The device requires only four small 0.1µF external charge pump capacitors. The MAX3241 device operates at data rate of 235Kbps and maintains RS232 output levels. This complete serial port device designed for notebook and subnotebook computers. It has shutdown mode in which all receivers can remain active while using only 1µA supply current. The receivers R1 and R2 have extra outputs in addition to their standard outputs for monitoring external devices.

● Supply voltage range from 3V to 5.5V

● Operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C

● VCC power supply current of 0.3mA

● Transmitter skew of 300ns and receiver skew of 300ns

● Maximum transition region slew rate is 30V/µs (CL = 150pF to 1000pF)

● Three RS232 drivers and five RS232 receivers
