Description

The MAX3221/MAX3223/MAX3243 achieve 1A supply current with Maxim's revolutionary AutoShutdown™ feature. When the MAX3221/MAX3223/MAX3243 do not sense a valid signal level on their receiver inputs, the on-board power supply and drivers shut down. This occurs if the RS-232 cable is disconnected or if the transmitters of the connected, peripheral are turned off.The system turns on again when a valid level is applied to any RS-232 receiver input. As a result, the system saves power without changes to the existing BIOS or operating system.

The MAX3221/MAX3223/MAX3243 transceivers are 3Vpowered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces intended for notebook computer applications.A proprietary, high-efficiency, dual charge-pump power supply and a low-dropout transmitter combine to deliver true RS-232 performance from a single +3.0V to +5.5V supply. A guaranteed data rate of 120kbps provides compatibility with popular software for communicating with personal  computers.
