RS-485/422 Multiprotocol Transceivers
General Description
The MAX3160/MAX3161/MAX3162 are programmable +3V to +5.5V RS-232/RS-485/422 multiprotocol transceivers. The MAX3160/MAX3161 are pin programmable as a 2TX/2RX RS-232 interface or a single RS-485/422 transceiver. The MAX3162 is configured as a 2TX/2RX RS-232 interface and a single RS-485/422 transceiver simultaneously.
All devices incorporate a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage and an on-board dual charge pump to allow RS-232 and RS-485/422 pliant performance from a +3V to +5.5V supply. These devices also feature pin-selectable...
