Texas Instruments · RS232 ICs · SSOP-28-208mil

MAX3243ECDBR from Texas Instruments, in a SSOP-28-208mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 C2+ passive Positive terminal of voltage-doubler charge-pump capacitor; connect 0.1 µF at 3.3 V or 0.33 µF at 5 V.
2 C2- passive Negative terminal of voltage-doubler charge-pump capacitor; connect 0.1 µF at 3.3 V or 0.33 µF at 5 V.
3 V- power_out Negative output from charge pump supplying approximately -5 V for RS-232 signal generation.
4 RIN1 input RS-232 receiver input accepting -25 V to +25 V signals with 3 to 7 kΩ input impedance.
5 RIN2 input RS-232 receiver input accepting -25 V to +25 V signals with 3 to 7 kΩ input impedance.
6 RIN3 input RS-232 receiver input accepting -25 V to +25 V signals with 3 to 7 kΩ input impedance.
7 RIN4 input RS-232 receiver input accepting -25 V to +25 V signals with 3 to 7 kΩ input impedance.
8 RIN5 input RS-232 receiver input accepting -25 V to +25 V signals with 3 to 7 kΩ input impedance.
9 DOUT1 output RS-232 driver output producing ±5.0 to ±5.4 V into 3 kΩ load with maximum slew rate 30 V/μs.
10 DOUT2 output RS-232 driver output producing ±5.0 to ±5.4 V into 3 kΩ load with maximum slew rate 30 V/μs.
11 DOUT3 output RS-232 driver output producing ±5.0 to ±5.4 V into 3 kΩ load with maximum slew rate 30 V/μs.
12 DIN3 input Driver input accepting 0 V to 5.5 V logic levels with 2 V high threshold at 3.3 V VCC.
13 DIN2 input Driver input accepting 0 V to 5.5 V logic levels with 2 V high threshold at 3.3 V VCC.
14 DIN1 input Driver input accepting 0 V to 5.5 V logic levels with 2 V high threshold at 3.3 V VCC.
15 ROUT5 output Receiver output providing 0.4 V low to VCC-0.1 V high logic levels at 1.6 mA sink current.
16 ROUT4 output Receiver output providing 0.4 V low to VCC-0.1 V high logic levels at 1.6 mA sink current.
17 ROUT3 output Receiver output providing 0.4 V low to VCC-0.1 V high logic levels at 1.6 mA sink current.
18 ROUT2 output Receiver output providing 0.4 V low to VCC-0.1 V high logic levels at 1.6 mA sink current.
19 ROUT1 output Receiver output providing 0.4 V low to VCC-0.1 V high logic levels at 1.6 mA sink current.
20 ROUT2B output Always-active noninverting receiver output following RIN2 input and remaining operational during auto-powerdown.
21 INVALID output Invalid output pin; low when all receiver inputs remain between -0.3 V and +0.3 V for more than 30 µs.
22 FORCEOFF input Auto-powerdown control input; low forces device to 1 µA standby mode with drivers and receivers disabled.
23 FORCEON input Auto-powerdown control input; low with FORCEOFF high enables automatic powerdown on invalid RS-232 signals.
24 C1- passive Negative terminal of voltage-doubler charge-pump capacitor; connect 0.1 µF at 3.3 V or 0.047 µF at 5 V.
25 GND power_in Ground reference for logic and RS-232 signal levels.
26 VCC power_in Supply voltage input from 3 V to 5.5 V for logic circuits and internal charge pump.
27 V+ power_out Positive output from charge pump supplying approximately +5 V for RS-232 signal generation.
28 C1+ passive Positive terminal of voltage-doubler charge-pump capacitor; connect 0.1 µF at 3.3 V or 0.047 µF at 5 V.
