Maxim Integrated (MAX3160CAP+) RS232/RS485/RS422 multiprotocol Transceiver

Product OverviewThe MAX3160CAP+ is a RS-232/RS-485/422 Multiprotocol Transceiver forpoint-of-sales equipment. The MAX3160 is programmable +3 to +5.5VRS-232/RS-485/422 multiprotocol transceivers. The MAX3160 is pin programmable asa 2TX/2RX RS-232 interface or a single RS-485/422 transceiver. All devicesincorporate a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage and an on-boarddual charge pump to allow RS-232 and RS-485/422 compliant performance from a +3to +5.5V supply. These devices also feature pin-selectable transmitter slewrates for both RS-232 and RS-485/422 modes. Slew-rate limiting minimizes EMI andreduces reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-freedata transmission up to 250kbps. Disabling slew-rate limiting allows thesedevices to transmit at data rates up to 10Mbps in RS-485/422 mode and up to1Mbps in RS-232 mode. The MAX3160 offers a flow-through pinout that facilitatesboard layout.Integrated protection increases robustness - Thermal protection from excessivepower dissipationIntegrated charge-pump circuitry saves board space1µA Shutdown supply current saves powerAllows up to 256 transceivers on the busApplicationsIndustrial, Automation & Process Control, Communications & NetworkingProduct InformationDevice Type: TransceiverIC Interface Type: RS232, RS422, RS485No. of Drivers: 1DriversSupply Voltage Min: 3VSupply Voltage Max: 5.5VDriver Case Style: SSOPNo. of Pins: 20PinsOperating Temperature Min: 0°COperating Temperature Max: 70°CProduct Range: -MSL: MSL 1 - Unlimited
