MAX1406EPE+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX1406EPE+ is a ±15kV ESD-protected, EMC-compliant RS-232 transceiver featuring three transmitters and three receivers. It operates with VCC between +4.5V and +5.5V, VDD between +10.8V and +13.2V, and VSS between -10.8V and -13.2V. The device guarantees data rates up to 230kbps with a typical ICC of 1mA, IDD of 500µA, and ISS of 500µA. It provides enhanced ESD protection of ±15kV (HBM), ±8kV (IEC Contact), and ±15kV (IEC Air-Gap). Packaged in a 16-pin Plastic DIP, it functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
