MAX3317EEAP

Overview

The MAX3317EEAP is a dual RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates on a single 2.5V supply voltage and supports data rates up to 460kbps. The device features ±15kV ESD protection on all pins, ensuring robust performance in harsh environments. It includes two drivers and two receivers for full-duplex communication. The component is housed in a 20-pin SSOP package and is designed for surface-mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Dual RS-232 transceiver with integrated charge pump
• High electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection on all pins
• Single 2.5V power supply operation capability
• Full-duplex data transmission support

Applications

• Portable battery-powered equipment requiring low voltage operation
• Industrial control systems with RS-232 communication needs
• Data logging devices utilizing serial interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EEAP' against the manufacturer's current part numbering system to ensure correct package and temperature range identification. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation as manufacturing processes may evolve. Check for any obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes directly from Analog Devices before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual RS-232 interface is required with a strict 2.5V supply constraint. Ensure the application environment necessitates high ESD protection levels. Verify that the 460kbps maximum data rate meets the system's throughput requirements. Consider the 20-pin SSOP package dimensions for PCB layout compatibility.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated MAX331x family of RS-232 transceivers. These components are designed for low-power applications. The EEAP designation typically indicates a specific package type and operating temperature range within the broader product line. It serves as a bridge between microprocessors and RS-232 ports.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-to-pin replacements within the MAX331x series. Verify equivalent voltage and speed specifications if considering alternatives from other manufacturers. Ensure the replacement maintains the same ESD protection ratings and package footprint.
