The MAX3243EEWI+T is an advanced 3.3V-powered RS-232 Transceiver. It features low power, enhanced output drive, selectable logic voltage levels, a 15kV ESD protector, and hot swapping capability. These features, along with its reliable design, make the MAX3243EEWI+T perfect for a variety of RS-232 applications.

Application Field

The MAX3243EEWI+T is designed to provide a reliable and cost-effective interface between typical RS-232 and modem applications. It offers flexibility with its two variable levels, adjustable output drive and easy to use IO pins.

This transceiver is ideal for connecting computers, modems, and other devices needing RS-232 communication. It is also useful for power management, allowing devices to save energy when inactive with its SLEEP pin.

The MAX3243EEWI+T also offers protection from voltage spikes and other external disturbances with its ±15kV ESD protection. This feature allows for resilient operation when used in portable and industrial settings where external disturbances are more common.

The MAX3243EEWI+T is also perfect for use in hot-swappable applications. It is designed to withstand hot-swapping of RS-232 devices while maintaining compliance to the standard.

Working Principle

The MAX3243EEWI+T operates according to the RS-232 standard, which defines the logic levels, protocol, and signaling of the serial communication. It is designed to meet the RS-232 specification, even when the power supply is within the range of 4V to 10.5V. It uses the CMOS standard levels (-3V/3V) to provide reliable, low-power RS-232 communication.

The MAX3243EEWI+T includes a driver stage comprised of two Darlington-connected transistors. These transistors are controlled by turn-on and turn-off signals, which result in an output voltage of 3V or -3V depending on the logic level. This allows the transceiver to easily switch logic levels to communicate with any device.

The MAX3243EEWI+T also includes a receiver stage, which receives the signals sent from the transmission source. The receiver stage is also equipped with two transistors, designed to provide delay times as specified in the RS-232 standard. This ensures that the receiver’s output is accurately reflected in the transmission source’s input.

The transceiver also provides a protection mechanism against voltage spikes and other external disturbances. It does this using a +/- 15kV ESD Protection Circuit, which protects the transceiver from damage caused by electrostatic discharges.

The MAX3243EEWI+T is designed to be reliable yet cost effective, making it perfect for a variety of RS-232 applications. It offers flexibility with its two variable logic levels, adjustable output drive, and pin-compatible operation, making it easy to interface with many existing devices. Its ESD protection also ensures reliable performance in hostile industrial and portable environments.
