MAX3316EEAE+

Overview

The MAX3316EEAE+ is a dual RS-232 transceiver from the MAX3316–MAX3319 family, manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. It operates on a single +2.25V to +3.0V supply and utilizes an internal dual charge pump to generate required voltage levels. The device features two drivers and two receivers with full-duplex communication capability. It supports data rates up to 460kbps and requires only four 0.1µF capacitors for operation. Operating in the extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, it is housed in a 16-pin SSOP package.

Feature Summary

• Proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage enables RS-232-compatible performance at low voltages
• Internal dual charge pump generates necessary voltage swings using minimal external components
• Guaranteed high-speed data transmission capabilities suitable for portable applications

Applications

• Palmtop Computers
• Hand-Held Instruments
• Cellular Phones
• GPS Devices
• Handy Terminals

Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity through official manufacturer channels or authorized distributors. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature range specifications. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental standards before integration into final designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing low-voltage serial communication interfaces requiring minimal external capacitance. Consider the 16-pin SSOP package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the operating current characteristics provided in the datasheet electrical tables.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3316–MAX3319 series of 2.5V RS-232 transceivers. The MAX3316 variant specifically provides two drivers and two receivers. It differs from other family members like the MAX3317/3318/3319 primarily in shutdown control features and pin configurations, while sharing core voltage generation and signaling capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same family include the MAX3316CAE (commercial temperature range) and MAX3316CUP (TSSOP package). Verify pin compatibility and thermal specifications when considering these alternatives.
