RS-232 transceiver for industrial serial links
The Maxim Integrated MAX3225EUP+T is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver with two drivers and two receivers in a 20-TSSOP package. It handles serial data at 1 Mbps.
1 Mbps data rate — what it buys you
At 1 Mbps this transceiver keeps up with high-speed RS-232 links like those in multi-drop sensor networks or fast configuration uploads. The 500 mV of receiver hysteresis cleans up noise on longer cable runs, reducing bit errors without external filtering.
Supply and temperature fit
Rated from -40°C to 85°C, the MAX3225EUP+T is suited for outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor controllers, and engine-bay-adjacent electronics. The 3V to 5.5V supply range means it works with both legacy 5V logic and modern 3.3V MCU UARTs without a voltage translator.
