RS232 interface in a 28-TSSOP footprint
The MAX3241EEUI+ is a full-duplex RS232 transceiver from Analog Devices, packing three drivers and five receivers into a 28-TSSOP package (4.40 mm width).
Driver/receiver count and signal integrity
Three drivers and five receivers mean this transceiver handles a full RS232 port with handshake lines (RTS/CTS/DSR/DTR) plus the primary TX/RX pair — common in DTE-side equipment where the full complement of control signals is wired.
Lifecycle and compliance status
The 28-TSSOP package is a standard footprint with wide second-source availability; no package-specific obsolescence risk beyond the die itself.
