MAX3107ETG/V+T

Overview

The MAX3107ETG/V+T is a single-channel Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) interface integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.65V to 3.6V and supports data rates up to 24 Mbps. The device features a 128-byte FIFO buffer for efficient data handling. It integrates an internal oscillator and supports IrDA, RS232, and RS485 protocols. The component is housed in a 24-WFQFN package with exposed pad, measuring 3.5x3.5 mm, and is designed for surface-mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a 128-byte FIFO buffer to manage data flow efficiently
• Supports multiple communication protocols including IrDA, RS232, and RS485
• Includes an internal oscillator for clock generation without external components
• Features automatic flow control capabilities

Applications

• Industrial serial communication systems requiring RS485 connectivity
• Infrared data association (IrDA) enabled devices
• Embedded systems utilizing UART interfaces for data transmission
• Portable electronics operating on low voltage supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and packaging configuration when ordering, as availability may vary by region. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure that the 24-WFQFN footprint matches the design layout requirements. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or limited supply notices from authorized distributors before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single UART channel with high-speed support up to 24 Mbps is required. The integrated 128-byte FIFO reduces CPU overhead compared to smaller buffer alternatives. Consider the 24-WFQFN package size constraints during PCB layout. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C meets the environmental conditions of the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3107 series of UART interface ICs. It is distinct from other Maxim Integrated products such as the MAX9860 audio codec or MAX6880 power supervisor. The ETG/V+T designation indicates the specific temperature grade, package type, and lead-free status within the broader product family.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for verified substitutes. Generic UART controllers may not offer the same integrated FIFO depth or protocol support. Ensure pin compatibility and electrical specifications match if replacing in existing designs.
