The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E are programmable RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 multiprotocol transceivers. The MAX3160E/MAX3161E are pin programmable as a 2Tx/2Rx RS-232 interface or a single RS-485/RS-422 transceiver. The MAX3162E is configured as a 2Tx/2Rx RS-232 interface, and a single RS-485/RS-422 transceiver simultaneously.

The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E feature enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. All of the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to ±15kV using the Human Body Model.

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-/RS-422-compliant performance from a +3V to +5.5V supply. These devices also feature pin-selectable transmitter slew rates for RS-232 and RS-485/RS-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/RS-422 mode and up to 1Mbps in RS-232 mode.

The MAX3160E/MAX3162E offer a flow-through pinout that facilitates board layout. The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E are available in tiny SSOP packages and operate up to -40°C to +85°C temperature ranges.

Product Detail

The MAX3160E evaluation kit (EV kit) circuit demonstrates the RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 multiprotocol transceivers using the MAX3160E IC. The circuit can be configured to operate as a dual transceiver in RS-232 mode or as a single transceiver in RS-485/RS-422 mode. The MAX3160E RS-232 data rates can reach 1Mbps, while RS-485/RS-422 data rates can reach 10Mbps. The configurable slew-rate limiting feature reduces data rates for either protocol to achieve reduced EMI.

In RS-485/RS-422 mode, the EV kit demonstrates full-duplex or half-duplex communication. The MAX3160E drivers feature short-circuit and thermal protection as well as fail-safe circuitry for open, shorted, or unconnected RS-485/RS-422 receiver inputs. The MAX3160E EV kit operates from a single 3V to 5.5VDC supply capable of providing 100mA.
