The MAX3237EIPWR is a single-channel RS-232 line driver and receiver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V and supports data rates up to 1 Mbit/s. The device is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity and includes shutdown functionality to minimize power consumption. The component complies with EIA/TIA-232-F standards and offers 15 kV ESD protection on all pins.
Verify the specific suffix 'IPWR' confirms the TSSOP-16 package and industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor certificates, as packaging variations may affect environmental declarations. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required pinout and thermal specifications for the target PCB design.
Select this component when a single full-duplex RS-232 channel is sufficient for the application. Compare against the MAX3232E series if fewer drivers/receivers are needed, or the MAX3237ECDW variant if a SOIC-28 package is preferred. Verify that the 1 Mbit/s speed meets system requirements and that the TSSOP-16 footprint aligns with existing board layouts.
This part belongs to the MAX3237E family of low-power RS-232 transceivers. It shares functional similarities with the MAX3232E but provides higher data rate support. The IPWR suffix denotes surface-mount packaging suitable for automated assembly processes in consumer and industrial electronics manufacturing environments.
Publicly confirmed substitutes include the MAX3237ECPEPR and MAX3237ECPWR. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution.
