Data rate — 250 kbps practical ceiling
The 250 kbps data rate is enough for most legacy serial protocols. If your application needs higher speed, this part won't close the timing.

Frequently asked questions
Can MAX3224EAP+ be used as a direct replacement for MAX3223EAP+?
Both are 2/2 RS-232 transceivers in 20-SSOP, but the MAX3224EAP+ runs at 250 kbps while the MAX3223EAP+ is limited to 120 kbps. Check the data rate requirement — if 250 kbps is acceptable, the pinout and footprint are compatible for a drop-in swap.
