MAX3227IDBR

Texas Instruments · RS232 ICs · SSOP-16-208mil

MAX3227IDBR from Texas Instruments, 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 when V- goes below -3.5 V and charge pump regulates.
2 C1+ passive Positive terminal of voltage-doubler charge-pump capacitor (0.1 µF at 3.3 V, 0.047 µF at 5 V).
3 V+ power_out Positive supply voltage +2 × VCC generated by charge pump with absolute maximum range -0.3 V to 7 V.
4 C1− passive Negative terminal of voltage-doubler charge-pump capacitor (0.1 µF nominal).
5 C2+ passive Positive terminal of inverting charge-pump capacitor (0.1 µF at 3.3 V, 0.33 µF at 5 V).
6 C2− passive Negative terminal of inverting charge-pump capacitor (0.1 µF at 3.3 V, 0.47 µF at 5 V).
7 V− power_out Negative supply voltage -2 × VCC generated by charge pump with absolute maximum range 0.3 V to -7 V.
8 RIN input RS-232 receiver input with ±25 V voltage range and ±15 kV ESD protection (human-body model).
9 ROUT output CMOS receiver output with VOH = VCC - 0.1 V (IOH = -1 mA) and VOL = 0.4 V (IOL = 1.6 mA).
10 INVALID output Valid signal detector output, active low when RS-232 receiver input is outside the ±2.7 V valid region.
11 DIN input CMOS driver input with logic thresholds VIL = 0 to 0.8 V and VIH = 2 V to VCC minimum.
12 FORCEON input Force-on input, active high (2 V to VCC), to keep drivers and receivers active when FORCEOFF is high.
13 DOUT output RS-232 driver output with voltage range ±5 V to ±5.4 V (3 kΩ load) and 24 to 150 V/µs slew rate.
14 GND power_in Ground reference for all power supplies and signal paths.
15 VCC power_in Single-supply voltage input, 3 V to 5.5 V recommended operating range with -40 to 85°C operating temperature.
16 FORCEOFF input Force-off input, active low (0 to 0.8 V), to shut down drivers, receivers, and charge pump.
