MAX13172ECAI+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13172ECAI+T is a four-driver/four-receiver multiprotocol transceiver operating from a single +5V 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 operates within a 4.5V to 5.5V VCC range and utilizes VDD/VEE generated by the MAX13170E. It features an extremely low shutdown current of 1µA in no-cable mode and includes thermal-shutdown protection at +145°C. ESD protection reaches ±10kV (HBM) and ±3kV (IEC 61000-4-2). The component is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package with dimensions of 5.3mm x 10.2mm.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm lead-free status and RoHS compliance. Ensure the selected variant matches the required commercial temperature range and package type for your design constraints.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing interfaces requiring support for V.28, V.10/V.11, and V.35 protocols within a single +5V system. It serves as a pin-for-pin upgrade to older MXL1544/MAX3175 chipset architectures. Confirm compatibility with the MAX13170E charge pump for proper voltage generation.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX1317x series of multiprotocol transceivers designed for data terminal equipment interfaces. It functions alongside the MAX13170E and MAX13174E to form a complete port solution. The MAX13172E specifically handles control signaling while other chips manage high-speed clock and data signals.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The datasheet identifies the MXL1544/MAX3175/MXL1543/MXL1543B chipset as a legacy predecessor offering pin-for-pin compatibility.
