MAX3232EEUP+G071

Overview

The MAX3232EEUP+G071 is a dual-channel RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates on a single 3V to 5.5V supply and supports data rates up to 250kbit/s. The device integrates two drivers and two receivers with ±15kV IEC ESD protection. It utilizes a dual charge-pump circuit requiring four external 0.1μF capacitors for voltage generation. The component is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP (PW) package, measuring 5mm x 6.4mm. It functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual line drivers and dual line receivers for full-duplex communication
• Includes built-in ±15kV IEC ESD protection on serial-port connection pins
• Operates from a single 3V to 5.5V power supply using internal charge pumps
• Provides low standby current consumption for battery-powered applications

Applications

• Industrial PCs
• Wired networking equipment
• Data center and enterprise computing systems
• Battery-powered portable devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G071 against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact packaging and environmental compliance details. Confirm availability status as distribution listings may indicate limited stock or discontinuation. Ensure the source document matches the requested part number before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing asynchronous communication controllers with standard serial-port connectors. It is suitable for designs requiring robust ESD protection and operation from a single low-voltage supply without negative rails. Verify that the required data rate does not exceed 250kbit/s and that the system environment falls within the specified industrial temperature range.

Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX3232E family of RS-232 transceivers designed for low-power, single-supply applications. It provides electrical interface capabilities between TTL/CMOS logic levels and RS-232 standards. The product line is widely used in embedded systems requiring reliable serial communication interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

The SNx5C3232 is identified as a pin-compatible alternative high-speed device offering 1Mbit/s data rates. Catalog versions such as MAX3232E are available as standard equivalents.
