General Description
The MAX3160/MAX3161/MAX3162 are programmable
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 trans-
mitter output stage and an on-board dual charge pump
to allow RS-232 and RS-485/422 compliant perfor-
mance from a +3V to +5.5V supply. The receivers
feature true fail-safe circuitry that guarantees a logic-
high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open
or shorted. These devices also feature pin-selectable
transmitter slew rates for both RS-232 and RS-485/422
modes. Slew-rate limiting minimizes EMI and reduces
reflections caused by improperly terminated cables,
allowing error-free data transmission up to 250kbps.
Disabling slew-rate limiting allows these devices to
transmit at data rates up to 10Mbps in RS-485/422
mode and up to 1Mbps in RS-232 mode. The
MAX3160/MAX3161/MAX3162 feature a 1µA shutdown
mode, and short-circuit limiting and thermal shutdown
circuitry to protect against excessive power dissipation.
The MAX3160/MAX3162 offer a flow-through pinout that
facilitates board layout. The MAX3160/MAX3161/
MAX3162 are available in tiny SSOP packages and
operate over the commercial and extended tempera-
ture ranges.
