Drivers

RS-232line driverline receiverTSSOP-283 V to 5.5 V

MAX3238IPWR is a 28-pin TSSOP RS-232 driver/receiver operating from 3 V to 5.5 V, with five drivers, three receivers, charge-pump circuitry, and ±15-kV HBM ESD protection.

Best for

  • Embedded RS-232 ports
  • Notebook and portable equipment interfaces
  • Multi-channel serial communication

Avoid if

  • The application requires a different electrical interface standard
  • The design cannot accommodate a 28-pin TSSOP package and external charge-pump capacitors

Check before use

  • Supply voltage and logic input thresholds
  • Charge-pump capacitor values
  • Pin assignment and control-mode configuration
  • Required data rate and load capacitance
