MAX3243CDWR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-28-300mil. 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 | C2+ | passive | Positive lead of the C2 charge-pump capacitor. |
| 2 | C2- | passive | Negative lead of the C2 charge-pump capacitor. |
| 3 | V- | power_out | Negative charge pump output, for the storage capacitor only. |
| 4 | RIN1 | input | RS232 line data input from the remote RS232 system (receiver input, ±25 V range, 3 to 7 kΩ input resistance). |
| 5 | RIN2 | input | RS232 line data input from the remote RS232 system; also drives the always-active ROUT2B output (normally used for ring indicator). |
| 6 | RIN3 | input | RS232 line data input from the remote RS232 system (receiver input, ±25 V range, 3 to 7 kΩ input resistance). |
| 7 | RIN4 | input | RS232 line data input from the remote RS232 system (receiver input, ±25 V range, 3 to 7 kΩ input resistance). |
| 8 | RIN5 | input | RS232 line data input from the remote RS232 system (receiver input, ±25 V range, 3 to 7 kΩ input resistance). |
| 9 | DOUT1 | output | RS232 line data output to the remote RS232 system (±15 kV HBM ESD protected). |
| 10 | DOUT2 | output | RS232 line data output to the remote RS232 system (±15 kV HBM ESD protected). |
| 11 | DOUT3 | output | RS232 line data output to the remote RS232 system (±15 kV HBM ESD protected). |
| 12 | DIN3 | input | Logic data input from the UART; must be driven to a valid high or low level. |
| 13 | DIN2 | input | Logic data input from the UART; must be driven to a valid high or low level. |
| 14 | DIN1 | input | Logic data input from the UART; must be driven to a valid high or low level. |
| 15 | ROUT5 | output | Logic data output to the UART; high-Z when FORCEOFF is low. |
| 16 | ROUT4 | output | Logic data output to the UART; high-Z when FORCEOFF is low. |
| 17 | ROUT3 | output | Logic data output to the UART; high-Z when FORCEOFF is low. |
| 18 | ROUT2 | output | Logic data output to the UART; high-Z when FORCEOFF is low. |
| 19 | ROUT1 | output | Logic data output to the UART; high-Z when FORCEOFF is low. |
| 20 | ROUT2B | output | Always-active non-inverting output for RIN2, normally used for the ring indicator. |
| 21 | INVALID | output | Active-low output when all RIN inputs are unpowered (between -0.3 V and 0.3 V for more than 30 µs). |
| 22 | FORCEOFF | input | Low input forces drivers and receivers (except ROUT2B) to high-Z and overrides FORCEON. |
| 23 | FORCEON | input | High forces drivers on (disables auto-powerdown); low selects automatic mode. |
| 24 | C1- | passive | Negative lead of the C1 charge-pump capacitor. |
| 25 | GND | power_in | Ground (±15 kV HBM ESD protected). |
| 26 | VCC | power_in | Supply voltage, connect to a 3 V to 5.5 V power supply. |
| 27 | V+ | power_out | Positive charge pump output, for the storage capacitor only. |
| 28 | C1+ | passive | Positive lead of the C1 charge-pump capacitor. |
