MAX3180EEUK-T

Overview

The MAX3180EEUK-T is a single RS-232 receiver in a SOT23-5 package designed for space-constrained applications. It operates on a +3.0V to +5.5V supply with a typical supply current of 0.5µA and guarantees data rates up to 1.5Mbps. The device features ±15kV ESD protection per the Human Body Model and meets IEC 1000-4-2 standards. It provides an inverting CMOS output controlled by a standard RS-232 input, operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-low power consumption of 0.5µA enables extended battery life in portable devices.
• Robust ±15kV ESD protection ensures reliability during handling and operation.
• Compact SOT23-5 package minimizes board space requirements.
• Guaranteed 1.5Mbps data rate supports high-speed serial communications.

Applications

• Diagnostic Ports
• Telecommunications Equipment
• Networking Hardware
• Set-Top Boxes
• Hand-Held Devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing from distributors. Confirm the manufacturer designation as Analog Devices Inc. or Maxim Integrated. Ensure the component matches the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) required for your application environment before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component if a single-channel RS-232 receiver with minimal footprint is required. It is suitable for designs needing low standby current and high ESD immunity. Consider alternative models like the MAX3181E only if an INVALID signal output is necessary for system wake-up functionality instead of the standard inverting output provided here.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3180E–MAX3183E family of single RS-232 receivers. These devices share common electrical characteristics and packaging but differ in output logic and control inputs. The MAX3180E specifically offers a standard inverting output without an enable pin or invalid signal detector, distinguishing it from other variants in the series.

Replacement Considerations

The MAX3181EEUK-T serves as a functional substitute if an INVALID output is acceptable. The MAX3182EEUK-T is an option for noninverting output requirements. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications against the original design constraints before implementing any cross-model replacements.

FAQ

Does the MAX3180EEUK-T include an enable pin?

No, the MAX3180E does not feature an EN (enable) input. This function is available only in the MAX3182E variant.

What is the ESD protection rating for the receiver input?

The receiver input is protected to ±15kV using the Human Body Model and ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge.

Is the output of the MAX3180E inverting or noninverting?

The MAX3180E provides a standard inverting output relative to the receiver input.
