RS-232 link with flexible supply and industrial temp range
The MAX3381EEUP+ is an RS-232 transceiver from Analog Devices, configured as a full-duplex 2-driver/2-receiver interface in a 20-TSSOP package. Data rate is 250 kbps, sufficient for legacy serial links in industrial control, instrumentation, and point-of-sale equipment where the protocol demands RS-232 levels. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, covering industrial enclosures and outdoor telecom cabinets where the ambient stays inside that band.
Package, footprint, and board-fit checks
Housed in a 20-TSSOP with 0.65 mm pitch and 4.40 mm body width — a standard footprint that places without tombstoning risk on a typical HASL or ENIG board. Surface-mount only — no through-hole variant exists for this order code.
Active production and compliance status
ROHS3 compliant, so it meets the current EU restriction on hazardous substances without an exemption.
