MAX13237EETE+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13237EETE+T 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 3Mbps and features AutoShutdown Plus technology that reduces supply current to 1µA when inputs are inactive for over 30 seconds. The device integrates dual charge pumps requiring only four external 0.1µF capacitors for voltage generation. It provides ±15kV Human Body Model 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.
• Built-in dual charge pump circuitry generates required voltages using minimal external components.
• Robust electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV HBM on receiver inputs and transmitter outputs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Telematics systems
• GPS modules
• Industrial control equipment
• Point-of-sale (POS) terminals

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EETE+' against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm the 16-pin TQFN-EP package configuration and lead-free status. Ensure the procurement source provides valid RoHS compliance documentation matching the component specifications.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-speed 3Mbps communication with minimal power consumption during idle states. The separate VL pin enables compatibility with diverse logic families. Verify that the system design accommodates the exposed pad thermal requirements for the TQFN-EP package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX1323xE family of RS-232 transceivers designed for space-constrained portable and industrial devices. It shares architectural similarities with the MAX13234E through MAX13236E but offers higher throughput capabilities compared to the 250kbps variants within the same series.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX13236EETE+ serves as a functional substitute if a lower 250kbps data rate is acceptable. Both parts utilize the identical 16-pin TQFN-EP package and share the same pinout configuration.
