RS-232 link with 250 kbps and 500 mV hysteresis
The MAX3226CAE+ is a single RS-232 transceiver from Analog Devices, delivering full-duplex communication at 250 kbps over a 3V to 5.5V supply rail. With one driver and one receiver, it handles point-to-point serial links in industrial control, instrumentation, and embedded systems where the RS-232 protocol is still the interface of choice for debug consoles or short-haul data links.
Housed in a 16-SSOP (0.209-inch body width, 5.30 mm height) surface-mount package, the MAX3226CAE+ occupies a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained PCBs. The supplier device package is 16-SSOP; the tube delivery suits low-to-medium volume assembly.
