MAX3223ECUP+

Maxim Integrated · Pre-ordered Chips · TSSOP-20

MAX3223ECUP+ from Maxim Integrated, 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 control: drive low for normal receiver operation and drive high to force the receiver outputs into a high-Z state.
2 C1+ passive Positive terminal of the voltage doubler charge-pump capacitor (C1, 0.1µF for 3.3V operation).
3 V+ power_out +5.5V generated by the charge pump; V+ decays to VCC when the device is shut down.
4 C1- passive Negative terminal of the voltage doubler charge-pump capacitor.
5 C2+ passive Positive terminal of the inverting charge-pump capacitor (C2).
6 C2- passive Negative terminal of the inverting charge-pump capacitor (C2).
7 V- power_out -5.5V generated by the charge pump; V- decays to ground when the device is shut down.
8 T2OUT output RS-232 transmitter 2 output, forced to high impedance when FORCEOFF is low or AutoShutdown disables the transmitters.
9 R2IN input RS-232 receiver 2 input, tolerant of ±25V per the input voltage range and with approximately 5kΩ input resistance.
10 R2OUT output TTL/CMOS receiver 2 output (inverting, three-state controlled by EN).
11 INVALID output Output of the valid signal detector: logic high indicates a valid RS-232 level is present on the receiver inputs, low indicates shutdown.
12 T2IN input TTL/CMOS transmitter 2 input, with logic thresholds of 0.8V (low) and 2.0V to 2.4V (high) depending on VCC.
13 T1IN input TTL/CMOS transmitter 1 input, with logic thresholds of 0.8V (low) and 2.0V to 2.4V (high) depending on VCC.
14 FORCEON input Drive high to override the automatic circuitry and keep the transmitters on (FORCEOFF must be high).
15 R1OUT output TTL/CMOS receiver 1 output (inverting, three-state controlled by EN).
16 R1IN input RS-232 receiver 1 input, tolerant of ±25V per the input voltage range and with approximately 5kΩ input resistance.
17 T1OUT output RS-232 transmitter 1 output, forced to high impedance when FORCEOFF is low or AutoShutdown disables the transmitters.
18 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
19 VCC power_in +3.0V to +5.5V supply voltage.
20 FORCEOFF input Drive low to shut down the transmitters and on-board power supply, overriding all automatic circuitry and FORCEON.
