The MAX3344EEUE+: For a BOM line that depends on this USB 2.0 transceiver, the supply risk is the normal market cycle, not an imminent factory cut. RoHS3 compliant — no exemption-based restriction for EU or similar regulatory markets, so the part clears the compliance gate without a waiver.
USB 2.0 full-speed transceiver — 12 Mbps, full-duplex, 1/1
A single-channel USB 2.0 transceiver running at 12 Mbps full-speed with full-duplex capability — one driver and one receiver (1/1) on the differential pair. The 200 mV receiver hysteresis provides noise margin on a shared USB bus, reducing the chance of false edges from crosstalk or ground bounce on a mixed-signal board. Supply range is 4 V to 5.5 V, covering the standard 5 V USB VBUS rail with headroom for a regulated 5.0 V or a 4.2 V Li-ion rail.
16-TSSOP footprint — 0.173-inch body, 4.40 mm height
Supplied in tube — not tape-and-reel, so the pick-and-place feeder setup expects a tube magazine. For volume reflow, confirm the tube-to-reel transfer with your assembler or order the tape-and-reel variant if available.
