MAX3225EAP+T

Maxim Integrated · Pre-ordered Chips · SSOP-20-208mil

MAX3225EAP+T from Maxim Integrated, in a SSOP-20-208mil. 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 READY output Ready to Transmit output, active high; READY is driven high when V- goes below -4V and the device is ready to transmit, and is driven low in shutdown.
2 C1+ passive Positive terminal of the voltage-doubler charge-pump capacitor C1.
3 V+ power_out +5.5V generated by the charge pump; charge-pump output that is pulled to VCC in shutdown.
4 C1- passive Negative terminal of the voltage-doubler charge-pump capacitor C1.
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; the transmitters are enabled only when the magnitude of V- exceeds approximately -3V.
8 T2OUT output RS-232 transmitter 2 output, guaranteed at least ±5V with a 3kΩ load and high impedance when the transmitters are disabled.
9 R2IN input RS-232 receiver 2 input, with an input voltage range of -25V to +25V.
10 R2OUT output TTL/CMOS receiver 2 output (inverting), active in all operating modes.
11 INVALID output Valid signal detector output, active low; a logic-high indicates a valid RS-232 level is present on a receiver input, independent of FORCEON and FORCEOFF.
12 T2IN input TTL/CMOS transmitter 2 input; it has no pull-up, so unused inputs must be connected to GND or VCC.
13 T1IN input TTL/CMOS transmitter 1 input; it has no pull-up, so unused inputs must be connected to GND or VCC.
14 FORCEON input Force-On input, active high; drive high to override AutoShutdown Plus and keep transmitters and receivers on, provided FORCEOFF is high.
15 R1OUT output TTL/CMOS receiver 1 output (inverting), active in all operating modes.
16 R1IN input RS-232 receiver 1 input, with an input voltage range of -25V to +25V.
17 T1OUT output RS-232 transmitter 1 output, guaranteed at least ±5V with a 3kΩ load and high impedance when the transmitters are disabled.
18 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
19 VCC power_in +3.0V to +5.5V single supply voltage.
20 FORCEOFF input Force-Off input, active low; drive low to shut down transmitters, receivers, and the charge pump, overriding AutoShutdown Plus and FORCEON.
