The MAX3226ECTE+T RS-232 Interface IC with +/-15kV ESD-Protected, 1uA, 1 Mbps, 3.0V-to-5.5V, RS-232 Transceivers with AutoShutdown Plus is a device manufactured by Analog Devices for applications that require high-speed data communication over an asynchronous serial port. The transceivers offer an increased output drive capability in an ultra-small 2 mm x 2 mm package and bypass the need to have an extra external level translator. This type of IC offers improved ESD protection, which ensures signal integrity and reliable data communication, over long cable assemblies. It also features an auto-shutdown plus current-saving capabilities. This makes it suitable for battery-powered applications, environmental sensing, and HVAC control.
