MAX221EEAE+

MAX221EEAE+ is a single RS-232 transceiver with AutoShutdown. It is +5V powered, single transmit/receive RS-232 and V.28 communications interface with automatic shutdown/wake-up features and high data rate capabilities. It features an enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. Both the transmitter output and receiver input are protected to ±15kV using the IEC 1000-4-2 AirGap discharge method, to ±8kV using the IEC 1000-4-2 contact discharge method, and to ±15kV using the human body model. AutoShutdown saves power without changes to the existing BIOS or operating system by entering low-power shutdown mode when the RS-232 cable is disconnected or when the transmitter of the connected peripheral is off. It wakes up and drives the active-low INVALID pin high when an active RS-232 cable is connected, signaling the host that a peripheral is connected to the communications port. Applications include maintenance/diagnostic ports, industrial systems, telecommunications, set-top boxes.
