Dual UART with 128-byte FIFO and 24 Mbps throughput
The MAX3109ETJ+T is a 2-channel DUART from Analog Devices, supporting RS232 and RS485 protocols at a maximum data rate of 24 Mbps. Each channel includes a 128-byte FIFO, which reduces host interrupt overhead by buffering received data until a threshold is reached, and the part integrates an internal oscillator to generate the baud clock without an external crystal. With auto flow control, IrDA encoder/decoder, and false start bit detection on board, this UART handles the full RS232 handshake and infrared communication without glue logic.
It is ROHS3 compliant, meeting the current EU restriction on hazardous substances directive.
