The MAX3241CAI-T is a true RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features three drivers and five receivers, supporting data rates up to 1Mbps. The device operates on a single 3.0V to 5.5V supply and includes a shutdown mode with current consumption down to 10nA. It utilizes four external 0.1µF capacitors for its dual charge pump. The component provides 15kV ESD protection per IEC 61000-4-2 standards and is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package.
Verify the specific suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm temperature range and packaging type. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprint dimensions for the 28-SSOP package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the latest datasheet revision notes before finalizing procurement specifications.
Select this component when designing systems that require full RS-232 compliance at lower supply voltages. The inclusion of five receivers allows for flexible bus configurations. Verify that the required data rate does not exceed the specified maximum limit for the selected operating voltage.
This part belongs to the MAX32xx family of low-power, true RS-232 transceivers. It shares functional similarities with the MAX3222, MAX3232, and MAX3237 but offers additional receiver channels. The family is designed for applications where power efficiency and minimal external component count are critical design constraints.
Direct pin-compatible alternatives within the same series include the MAX3241EEAI+T and MAX3241ECUI+T. Verify that the replacement part matches the required industrial or commercial temperature range and package style before substitution.
