RS-232 transceiver for mixed-voltage serial links
The Maxim Integrated MAX3245EEAI+ is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver packing three drivers and five receivers into a 28-pin SSOP package. It handles serial data at 1Mbps and operates from a 3V to 5.5V supply, making it a fit for designs that need to bridge a 3.3V controller to legacy 5V RS-232 ports. The industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C covers factory-floor and outdoor telecom enclosures.
Supply flexibility and signal margin
The 3V to 5.5V supply range covers 3.3V rails directly. Receiver hysteresis is 500 mV.
Lifecycle and compliance
No last-time-buy or obsolescence pressure on this line item.
