MAX3225EEAP+

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

MAX3225EEAP+ 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 enabled high when V- goes below -4V and the device is ready to transmit.
2 C1+ passive Positive terminal of the voltage-doubler charge-pump capacitor.
3 V+ power_out +5.5V generated by the charge pump.
4 C1- passive Negative terminal of the voltage-doubler charge-pump capacitor.
5 C2+ passive Positive terminal of the inverting charge-pump capacitor.
6 C2- passive Negative terminal of the inverting charge-pump capacitor.
7 V- power_out -5.5V generated by the charge pump.
8 T2OUT output RS-232 transmitter output; the transmitter is disabled to high impedance when FORCEOFF is low or AutoShutdown Plus is active, and outputs can be driven to ±12V when powered off or shut down.
9 R2IN input RS-232 receiver input; R_IN to GND is rated ±25V absolute maximum.
10 R2OUT output TTL/CMOS receiver output.
11 INVALID output Valid signal detector output, active low; a logic high indicates that a valid RS-232 level is present on a receiver input.
12 T2IN input TTL/CMOS transmitter input; the transmitter inputs have no pullup resistors, so unused inputs should be connected to GND or VCC.
13 T1IN input TTL/CMOS transmitter input; the transmitter inputs have no pullup resistors, so unused inputs should 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 (FORCEOFF must be high).
15 R1OUT output TTL/CMOS receiver output.
16 R1IN input RS-232 receiver input; R_IN to GND is rated ±25V absolute maximum.
17 T1OUT output RS-232 transmitter output; the transmitter is disabled to high impedance when FORCEOFF is low or AutoShutdown Plus is active, and outputs can be driven to ±12V when powered off or shut down.
18 GND power_in Ground.
19 VCC power_in +3.0V to +5.5V single supply voltage.
20 FORCEOFF input Force-Off input, active-low; when low, transmitters are in high impedance, charge pumps are shut down, and receivers are active (MAX3225E), and Force-Off overrides AutoShutdown Plus and FORCEON.
