MAX563CWN+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX563CWN+ is a +3.3V-powered EIA/TIA-562 dual transceiver featuring two drivers and two receivers in an 18-pin Wide SO package. It operates from a single +3.0V to +3.6V supply, utilizing internal charge pumps to generate ±6.6V for signal levels. The device guarantees a data rate of 116kbps while maintaining ±3.7V output levels. Shutdown current is limited to 10µA maximum, with receiver outputs remaining active during shutdown. Operating temperature range is 0°C to +70°C.
