MAX3221IDBR

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

MAX3221IDBR 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 EN input Low input enables receiver ROUT output; high input sets ROUT to high impedance.
2 C1+ passive Positive terminal for external 0.1-μF capacitor in voltage-doubler charge pump.
3 V+ power_out Positive supply (5.5 V nominal) generated by internal charge pump; maximum ±7 V to GND.
4 C1- passive Negative terminal for external 0.1-μF capacitor in voltage-doubler charge pump.
5 C2+ passive Positive terminal for external 0.1-μF capacitor in voltage-doubler charge pump.
6 C2- passive Negative terminal for external 0.1-μF capacitor in voltage-doubler charge pump.
7 V- power_out Negative supply (-5.5 V nominal) generated by internal charge pump; minimum -7 V to GND.
8 RIN input RS-232 receiver input; accepts ±25 V input voltage range.
9 ROUT output Receiver output; logic-level output with voltage range -0.3 to VCC+0.3 V.
10 INVALID output Invalid output pin; goes low when RIN input is unpowered for more than 30 μs.
11 DIN input Driver input; accepts 0 to 5.5 V logic level input.
12 FORCEON input Automatic power-down control input; low enables auto-shutdown feature.
13 DOUT output RS-232 driver output; ±13.2 V maximum output voltage rating.
14 GND power_in Ground reference (0 V).
15 VCC power_in Power supply input; 3.0 to 5.5 V single supply.
16 FORCEOFF input Automatic power-down control input; high disables driver output.
