Surface-mount 16-SSOP (0.209" body width, 5.30 mm height). The supplier device package is also 16-SSOP. Standard footprint for serial transceivers; no surprises on the PCB layout. Tube shipment — reel variant (MAX3226EAE+T) exists if your pick-and-place line prefers tape.
Listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance.
250 kbps. This covers standard UART baud rates up to 115200 with margin; not intended for high-speed serial above 1 Mbps.
The only difference is the shipping medium: MAX3226EAE+ ships in a tube, while MAX3226EAE+T ships in tape-and-reel. The silicon and package are identical.
Yes. The 3V to 5.5V supply range covers 3.3V rails directly. The receiver hysteresis of 500 mV also helps with noise immunity on the RS-232 side.
