The MAX3222CDWR: Data rate is rated at 250 kbps — sufficient for legacy serial ports, industrial terminal links, and configuration interfaces where the bus runs at 115.2 kbaud or below. The 300 mV receiver hysteresis filters noise on long cable runs without external schmitt triggers.
ROHS3 compliant — no exemptions for lead in solder, which simplifies EU and UKCA declarations for finished goods.
250 kbps maximum. This is the ceiling for the RS-232 link; actual throughput depends on cable length and capacitive loading, but the part handles 115.2 kbaud with margin.
ROHS3 compliant per the manufacturer's declaration. No UL, IEC, or other safety certifications are listed in the product record.
