_______________General Description
The MAX253 monolithic oscillator/power-driver is
specifically designed to provide isolated power for an
isolated RS-485 or RS-232 data interface. The device
drives a center-tapped transformer primary from a 5V
or 3.3V DC power supply. The secondary can be
wound to provide any isolated voltage needed at power
levels up to 1W.
The MAX253 consists of a CMOS oscillator driving a
pair of N-channel power switches. The oscillator runs
at double the output frequency, driving a toggle flip-flop
to ensure 50% duty cycle to each of the switches.
Internal delays are arranged to ensure break-before-
make action between the two switches.
The SD pin puts the entire device into a low-power
shutdown state, disabling both the power switches and
oscillator.
