UART controller with protocol flexibility
The MAX3107ETG+T from Analog Devices is a serial UART controller that handles RS232 and RS485 protocols, bridging to a host system via I²C, SPI, or a direct UART interface. It integrates a 128-byte FIFO to offload the host processor, reducing interrupt overhead in data-intensive applications like industrial gateways, protocol converters, and multi-port serial cards. Supply current sits at 650 µA across the 2.35 V to 3.6 V range, making it viable for battery-backed or low-power embedded designs where every microamp counts. The -40°C to 85°C operating range covers industrial enclosures, outdoor telecom cabinets, and factory-floor controllers without derating.
Active production — no LTB risk
The MAX3107ETG+T carries an Active lifecycle status with ROHS3 compliance. No last-time-buy or end-of-life notices are on record, so it remains suitable for both new designs and ongoing production. Sourcing is through independent distribution, quoted to order against an RFQ.
