MAX3314ECKA+

Overview

The MAX3314ECKA+ is a single-channel, full-duplex RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and supports data rates up to 460 kbps. The device features integrated ESD protection rated at 15 kV and draws a typical operating supply current of 30 µA. It is housed in an SOT-23-8 surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Provides full-duplex communication capability for RS-232 serial interfaces
• Integrates high-level electrostatic discharge protection for robust signal integrity
• Designed for low-power operation with minimal active supply current consumption

Applications

• Portable battery-powered equipment requiring RS-232 connectivity
• Handheld terminals and mobile computing devices
• Industrial control systems with space-constrained PCB layouts

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels. Confirm the specific suffix indicates the tape-and-reel packaging format. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental directives before integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single driver and receiver are sufficient for bidirectional serial communication. Consider the SOT-23-8 footprint constraints and the requirement for a 5 V power supply rail during circuit design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3314 family of RS-232 transceivers. It shares functional similarities with other Maxim Integrated interface ICs designed for low-voltage, low-power serial communication applications in compact electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

The MAX3314EESA+ serves as a pin-compatible alternative in an SOIC-8 package. Verify electrical specifications and thermal characteristics before substituting different package types.
