MAX3386ECUP+T Datasheet/PDFThe MAX3386ECUP+T is a highly integrated transceiver designed for use in universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) and universal serial bus (USB) ports. It is capable of transmitting and receiving data up to 400millibits (Mbps) and has an internal termination resistor that eliminates the need for an external pull-up resistor. The MAX3386ECUP+T provides a versatile solution for both low- and full speed USB designs.
The MAX3386ECUP+T is a dual full-duplex transceiver offering differential transmit and receive channels. It uses a single core with both USB and UART control logic. The UART control logic receives, transmits, and stores data in the dual FIFO, while the USB logic manages the USB-to-UART protocol. The internal 12-bit SAR ADC provides up to 24 different modes of operation. This allows the device to act as a USB 2.0 HS (High Speed) device, providing up to 500 Mbps data rates. The device also has an integrated and programmable 7-to-1 MUX which is used to select the data rate for the UART side.
The MAX3386ECUP+T simplifies the design process with integrated and programmable voltage regulators and low-noise LDOs. The devices offer a reduced footprint and provide a cost-effective solution for devices requiring both USB and UART performance. In addition, the device features a 100MHz (200MHz) clock speed, 1.2vcore single supply operation and integrated TxDR (or current sense) protection. It also includes an integrated sampling-based automatic gain control, allowing for improved accuracy and latency over traditional pulse width modulation (PWM)-based level shifters.
The MAX3386ECUP+T is a highly integrated and versatile transceiver solution for mixed applications that require both UART and USB, such as medical, industrial, consumer, and automotive applications. It is designed to offer a low power, space-efficient and cost-effective solution for products requiring both UART and USB protocol support. The device uses a low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) interface to simplify the design process and provide improved EMC and EMI performance.
In summary, the MAX3386ECUP+T is a highly integrated and versatile transceiver solution for both UART and USB applications. It is capable of transmitting and receiving data up to 400Mbits (Mbps) and has an internal termination resistor that eliminates the need for an external pull-up resistor. The built-in voltage regulators and low-noise LDOs provide a low power and space-efficient solution. The device also features an integrated 7-to-1 MUX, 100MHz (200MHz) clock speed and 1.2vCore single supply operation, making it an ideal choice for mixed UART and USB designs.
