MAX3183EEUK

Overview

The MAX3183EEUK+T is a single RS-232 receiver integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. Designed for low-power applications, it operates within a supply voltage range of +3V to +5.5V and supports data rates up to 1.5Mbps. The device features 15kV ESD protection on the input lines and draws only 5µA of operating current. It is housed in a compact SOT-23-5 surface-mount package and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides high electrostatic discharge protection rated at 15kV on the receiver input pins.
• Operates with ultra-low quiescent current consumption suitable for battery-powered systems.
• Supports high-speed serial communication with data rates reaching 1.5Mbps.

Applications

• Portable handheld devices requiring robust serial communication interfaces
• Industrial equipment needing reliable RS-232 signal reception in noisy environments
• Battery-operated instrumentation utilizing low-power microcontroller connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact packaging and environmental compliance status. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure the component matches the required SOT-23-5 footprint and electrical specifications for your design integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel RS-232 receiver is required without driver functionality. It is appropriate for designs prioritizing minimal power consumption and small board space over multi-channel capabilities. Verify that the system logic levels are compatible with the specified 3V to 5.5V operating range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3181E series of RS-232 interface components. It serves as a specialized receiver-only solution within the broader portfolio of Maxim Integrated communication interface products. The series focuses on providing robust connectivity for legacy serial standards in modern, miniaturized electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same product family. Verify if other single-receiver RS-232 ICs meet the 1.5Mbps speed and 15kV ESD requirements. Ensure any substitute maintains the SOT-23-5 package dimensions and thermal characteristics.
