MAX13236EETE+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13236EETE+ is a single-driver, single-receiver RS-232 transceiver operating from a +3.0V to +5.5V supply with a logic supply range of +1.62V to VCC. It supports data rates up to 250kbps and features AutoShutdown Plus technology that reduces supply current to 1µA when inputs remain inactive for over 30 seconds. The device includes an internal dual charge pump requiring four external 0.1µF capacitors for operation. It provides ±15kV HBM ESD protection on all pins and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C in a 16-pin TQFN-EP package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• AutoShutdown Plus functionality automatically enters low-power shutdown mode upon cable disconnection or input inactivity exceeding 30 seconds.
• Integrated low-voltage logic interface allows direct connection to ASICs and microcontrollers with varying logic levels.
• Internal dual charge-pump circuitry generates required voltages using only four external 0.1µF capacitors.
• Robust electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV Human Body Model on all transmitter and receiver pins.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Telematics systems
• GPS navigation modules
• Industrial control equipment
• Portable electronic devices
• Wireless communication modules

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity by checking the marking code against official Analog Devices documentation. Confirm the specific suffix indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance status as defined in the manufacturer's ordering guide. Ensure the exposed pad is properly connected to ground during assembly to maintain thermal performance and electrical grounding requirements.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring a single full-duplex channel with high-speed data transfer capabilities up to 250kbps. The separate VL pin enables compatibility with logic families ranging from 1.62V to 5.5V. Consider the 16-pin TQFN-EP package for space-constrained designs requiring efficient heat dissipation through the exposed pad.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX1323xE family of 3Mbps RS-232 transceivers designed for low-voltage interfaces. The family shares identical functional blocks and pinouts across different driver/receiver configurations and speed grades. Variations within the series primarily distinguish between 250kbps and 3Mbps maximum data rates while maintaining the same power management and ESD protection architectures.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX13237EETE+ serves as a direct functional substitute offering the same 1x1 configuration but supporting higher data rates up to 3Mbps. Both components share identical pin assignments, package types, and power supply requirements, allowing for straightforward interchangeability in existing designs without schematic modifications.
