MAX1406CWE+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX1406CWE+ is a ±15kV ESD-protected, EMC-compliant RS-232 transceiver featuring three transmitters and three receivers. It operates with VCC at +4.5V to +5.5V, VDD at +10.8V to +13.2V, and VSS at -10.8V to -13.2V within the 0°C to +70°C temperature range. The device guarantees data rates up to 230kbps with a worst-case load of 3kW and 1000pF. Supply currents are less than 500µA for IDD and ISS, and less than 1mA for ICC. It provides ±15kV Human Body Model and ±15kV IEC1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge protection, ensuring latchup-free operation during ESD events.
