MAX3248E
Description
The MAX3238E/MAX3248E transceivers use Maxim’s revolutionary AutoShutdown Plus™ feature to achieve 10nA supply current. These devices shut down the onboard power supply and drivers when they do not sense a valid signal transition on either the receiver or transmitter inputs.
Key Features
- to achieve 10nA supply current
- This occurs if the RS-232 cable is disconnected or if the transmitters of the connected peripheral are turned off
- The devices turn on again when a valid transition is applied to any RS-232 receiver or transmitter input
- All RS-232 inputs and outputs, as well as the logic I/O pins, have enhanced ESD protection to ±15kV
- The additional ESD protection on the logic I/O pins makes the MAX3238E/MAX
