MAX3222EEUP

The MAX3222EEUP is a 3.0V to 5.5V-powered RS-232 transceiver from Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices). It features two drivers and two receivers, supporting full-duplex communication at data rates up to 250kbps.
Key features:
- Low power consumption (1µA shutdown mode).
- ±15kV ESD protection on I/O lines (IEC 61000-4-2).
- Auto-shutdown/wake-up for power efficiency.
- Small TSSOP-20 package, suitable for space-constrained designs.
Applications include industrial systems, embedded controllers, and battery-powered devices requiring reliable RS-232 communication. The MAX3222EEUP is compatible with TIA/EIA-232-F standards and operates over an extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
A cost-effective, robust solution for serial communication in mixed-voltage environments.

Equivalent products to the MAX3222EEUP include:
- MAX3222E (same family, minor variations)
- MAX3232E (higher voltage tolerance)
- SP3232E (Sipex/Exar equivalent)
