MAX3221EIDBR

Texas Instruments · RS232 ICs · SSOP-16-208mil

MAX3221EIDBR from Texas Instruments, in a SSOP-16-208mil. 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 EN input Receiver enable input; low enables ROUT output, high sets ROUT to high impedance.
2 C1+ passive Positive terminal of voltage doubler charge pump capacitor.
3 V+ power_out Charge pump generated 5.5V power supply output for external capacitor connection.
4 C1- passive Negative terminal of voltage doubler charge pump capacitor.
5 C2+ passive Positive terminal of voltage doubler charge pump capacitor.
6 C2- passive Negative terminal of voltage doubler charge pump capacitor.
7 V- power_out Charge pump generated -5.5V power supply output for external capacitor connection.
8 RIN input RS-232 receiver input with -25V to +25V absolute maximum rating and 3kΩ to 7kΩ input impedance.
9 ROUT output Receiver output to UART or logic circuit; high impedance when EN input is high.
10 INVALID output Status output low when RIN input remains within -0.3V to +0.3V for more than 30µs.
11 DIN input Driver input requiring valid high or low logic level, -0.3V to 6V absolute maximum rating.
12 FORCEON input Auto-powerdown control input for enabling automatic power management when low with FORCEOFF high.
13 DOUT output RS-232 driver output with ±5.4V nominal levels, 250kbps maximum data rate, -13.2V to +13.2V absolute maximum.
14 GND power_in Ground reference for all power supplies and logic signals.
15 VCC power_in Power supply input voltage, 3V to 5.5V recommended operating range.
16 FORCEOFF input Auto-powerdown control input for disabling driver output and charge pump operation when low.
