Description

The MAX2361ETM+T is an electronic component model in the product category of RF Transmitters. It belongs to the MAX220-MAX249 family of line drivers/receivers, which are designed for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces. These components are particularly useful in applications where ±12V is not available, making them suitable for battery-powered systems. They have a low-power shutdown mode that reduces power dissipation to less than 5µW. The MAX225, MAX233, MAX235, and MAX245/MAX246/MAX247 models require no external components and are recommended for applications with limited printed circuit board space.

Specifications and features

The MAX2361ETM+T has the following features:

• Low-voltage, integrated ESD applications.
• Operating voltage range from +3.0V to +5.5V.
• Low-power consumption.
• Supports data transmission up to 1Mbps.
• True RS-232 transceivers using four 0.1µF external capacitors (MAX3246E available in a UCSP™ package).
• Low-cost application.
• ESD-protected design with ±15kV.
• AutoShutdown™ feature for power-saving.
