The MAX253 is a monolithic oscillator/power-driver, specifically designed to provide isolated power for an isolated RS-485 or RS-232 data interface. It 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-beforemake 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.
