MAX13237EETE+T

Analog Devices Inc Maxim Integrated · RS232 ICs · TQFN-16-EP(5x5)

MAX13237EETE+T from Analog Devices Inc Maxim Integrated, in a TQFN-16-EP(5x5). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 C1- passive Negative terminal of the voltage doubler charge-pump capacitor.
2 C2+ passive Positive terminal of the inverting charge-pump capacitor.
3 C2- passive Negative terminal of the inverting charge-pump capacitor.
4 V- power_out -5.5V generated by the charge pump; READY goes high when V- goes below -4V.
5 RIN input RS-232 receiver input; the datasheet's absolute maximum rating for R_IN is ±25V.
6 ROUT output CMOS receiver output, referred to the VL logic supply; the receiver output is inverting and active in shutdown (FORCEOFF = GND).
7 VL power_in Logic-level supply that sets the CMOS input and output levels; connect to the host logic supply with 1.62V ≤ VL ≤ VCC.
8 TIN input CMOS transmitter input, referred to VL logic; unused inputs should be connected to GND or VL.
9 FORCEON input Active-high, VL-referenced input that overrides the automatic circuitry to keep the transmitters on; FORCEOFF must be high.
10 TOUT output RS-232 transmitter output; outputs are tri-stated when shut down, and can be driven to ±12V when powered off or shut down.
11 GND power_in Ground reference for all voltages (all voltages are referenced to GND).
12 VCC power_in +3V to +5.5V supply voltage.
13 FORCEOFF input Active-low, VL-referenced input that shuts down the transmitters and on-board charge pumps and tri-states all receiver and transmitter outputs, overriding FORCEON and the AutoShutdown Plus circuitry.
14 READY output Active-high ready-to-transmit output that goes high when V- goes below -4V and is low when the charge pumps are disabled in shutdown.
15 V+ power_out +5.5V generated by the charge pump.
16 C1+ passive Positive terminal of the voltage doubler charge-pump capacitor.
17 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
