Maxim Integrated MAX3221EUE

MAX3221EUE Overview
The specific part in question is manufactured by Maxim Integrated and falls under the category of Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers. It is packaged in a tube format and has a dual terminal position. The terminal form is gull wing, meaning the terminals are shaped like a seagull's wings. The terminal pitch, which refers to the distance between adjacent terminals, is 0.65mm. The maximum reflow temperature, which is the highest temperature the part can withstand during the soldering process, is 30 seconds. This chip has a pin count of 16, meaning it has 16 terminals. The interface type for this part is RS-232, which is a standard for serial communication. The input characteristics of this chip are described as Schmitt trigger, which is a type of circuit that provides hysteresis to prevent noise or false triggering. The driver number of bits for this chip is 1, indicating that it can transmit or receive data in 1-bit increments. The receiver hysteresis, which is the difference in input voltage required to switch between high and low states, is 500mV.
