MAX3226EEAE+T

Analog Devices Inc Maxim Integrated · RS232 ICs · SSOP-16-208mil

MAX3226EEAE+T from Analog Devices Inc Maxim Integrated, 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 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 R1IN input RS-232 receiver input; the input voltage range is -25V to +25V.
9 R1OUT output TTL/CMOS receiver output.
10 INVALID output Valid Signal Detector Output, active low; a logic high indicates that a valid RS-232 level is present on a receiver input.
11 T1IN input TTL/CMOS transmitter input; it has no pullup resistor, so unused inputs should be connected to GND or VCC.
12 FORCEON input Force-On Input, active high; drive high to override AutoShutdown Plus and keep transmitters and receivers on (FORCEOFF must be high).
13 T1OUT output RS-232 transmitter output, which goes high-impedance when the transmitters are disabled.
14 GND power_in Ground.
15 VCC power_in +3.0V to +5.5V single supply voltage.
16 FORCEOFF input Force-Off Input, active low; drive low to shut down transmitters, receivers, and the charge pump, overriding AutoShutdown Plus and FORCEON.
