MAX3222EIPWR

Texas Instruments · RS232 ICs · TSSOP-20

MAX3222EIPWR from Texas Instruments, in a TSSOP-20. 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; set low to enable receiver outputs, high places ROUT outputs in high-impedance state (VIH 2 V min at 3.3 V, 2.4 V at 5 V; accepts up to 5.5 V).
2 C1+ passive Positive terminal of charge-pump capacitor C1 (0.1 µF at 3.3 V, 0.047 µF at 5 V).
3 V+ power_out Positive charge-pump output supply (absolute maximum 7 V), decoupled with capacitor C3 to VCC or GND; lowered to VCC in power down.
4 C1− passive Negative terminal of charge-pump capacitor C1.
5 C2+ passive Positive terminal of charge-pump capacitor C2 (0.1 µF at 3.3 V, 0.33 µF at 5 V).
6 C2− passive Negative terminal of charge-pump capacitor C2.
7 V− power_out Negative charge-pump output supply (absolute maximum −7 V), decoupled with capacitor C4 to GND; raised toward GND in power down.
8 DOUT2 output RS-232 driver 2 output with ±15 kV HBM ESD protection, swing ±5 V min into 3 kΩ, high-impedance in power down.
9 RIN2 input RS-232 receiver 2 input with 5 kΩ typical input resistance, ±25 V input range and ±15 kV HBM ESD protection.
10 ROUT2 output Logic-level receiver 2 output, high-impedance when EN is high.
11 NC unconnected No internal connection.
12 DIN2 input Logic input for driver 2 (VIL 0.8 V max, accepts up to 5.5 V).
13 DIN1 input Logic input for driver 1 (VIL 0.8 V max, accepts up to 5.5 V).
14 NC unconnected No internal connection.
15 ROUT1 output Logic-level receiver 1 output, high-impedance when EN is high.
16 RIN1 input RS-232 receiver 1 input with 5 kΩ typical input resistance, ±25 V input range and ±15 kV HBM ESD protection.
17 DOUT1 output RS-232 driver 1 output with ±15 kV HBM ESD protection, swing ±5 V min into 3 kΩ, high-impedance in power down.
18 GND power_in Ground.
19 VCC power_in Supply voltage, 3 V to 5.5 V (absolute maximum 6 V), bypassed with 0.1 µF.
20 PWRDOWN input Power-down control input; low disables the charge pump and puts drivers in high impedance with 1 µA typical supply current while receivers stay active.
