MAX13170ECAI+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13170ECAI+T is a three-driver/three-receiver multiprotocol transceiver operating from a +5V single supply. It supports V.28 (RS-232), V.10/V.11, and V.35 protocols via software-selectable mode inputs M0, M1, and M2. The device features an internal dual charge pump generating positive and negative voltages for compliant operation. Electrical characteristics include a 0.5µA no-cable mode current, ±13kV Human Body Model ESD protection on all transmitter outputs and receiver inputs, and thermal shutdown circuitry. It is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package and operates within the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range.
