MAX3222EEWN+

Maxim Integrated · Pre-ordered Chips · SOIC-18-300mil

MAX3222EEWN+ from Maxim Integrated, in a SOIC-18-300mil. 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 EN input Receiver enable, active low; driving EN high places the receiver outputs into a high-impedance state.
2 C1+ passive Positive terminal of the voltage-doubler charge-pump flying capacitor C1.
3 V+ power_out Doubled charge-pump output of +5.5V generated from VCC, decoupled by reservoir capacitor C3.
4 C1- passive Negative terminal of the voltage-doubler charge-pump flying capacitor C1.
5 C2+ passive Positive terminal of the inverting charge-pump flying capacitor C2.
6 C2- passive Negative terminal of the inverting charge-pump flying capacitor C2.
7 V- power_out Inverting charge-pump output of -5.5V generated internally by the charge pump.
8 T2OUT output RS-232 transmitter 2 output that may be driven up to ±12V in shutdown and is forced high-impedance when SHDN = GND.
9 R2IN input RS-232 receiver 2 input with a absolute voltage limit of ±25V to GND.
10 R2OUT output TTL/CMOS receiver 2 output that is inverting, three-state, and high-impedance when EN is high.
11 T2IN input TTL/CMOS transmitter 2 input with no pullup resistor; connect unused inputs to GND or VCC.
12 T1IN input TTL/CMOS transmitter 1 input with no pullup resistor; connect unused inputs to GND or VCC.
13 R1OUT output TTL/CMOS receiver 1 output that is inverting, three-state, and high-impedance when EN is high.
14 R1IN input RS-232 receiver 1 input with an absolute voltage limit of ±25V to GND.
15 T1OUT output RS-232 transmitter 1 output that may be driven up to ±12V in shutdown and is forced high-impedance when SHDN = GND.
16 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
17 VCC power_in Supply voltage, +3.0V to +5.5V.
18 SHDN input Shutdown control, active low; SHDN = GND disables the transmitters and forces their outputs high-impedance while the MAX3222E receivers stay active.
