The MAX3243EEAI+T with RS-232 Interface IC plus 15kV ESD-Protected, 1uA, 3.0V to 5.5V, 250kbps, RS-232 Transceivers with AutoShutdown is an advanced fourth-generation line driver/receiver manufactured by Analog Devices. The part features an integrated power-on reset and a low-power shutdown mode that significantly reduces power consumption during idle periods. This part has very low output leakage currents, with ±5 V logic compatible outputs, which make it ideal for robust, low-voltage, extended temperature applications. Additionally, this part is ±15 kV ESD-protected - to meet automotive and industrial requirements - and provides fast propagation delays and low signals distortion. The combination of features provides enhanced system reliability, protection from transient signals, and low power dissipation.
