Package and board integration
The MAX3227EEAE+: Housed in a 16-pin SSOP package (0.209-inch body width, 5.30 mm), surface-mount soldered. The supplier device package is also 16-SSOP, so the footprint matches the standard SSOP-16 land pattern. Receiver hysteresis is specified at 500 mV, which provides noise immunity on the RS232 line — useful when the cable runs through an electrically noisy factory floor.
Compliance and regulatory status
The part is ROHS3 compliant, meeting the current EU restriction-of-hazardous-substances directive. No other regulatory certifications (UL, IEC) are listed in the available documentation.
