SPI MICROWIRE ic integrated circuit Asynchronous Transceiver UART QSOP-16 IC MAX3100EEE+T

The MAX3100 universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART) is specifically optimized for small microcontroller-based systems. Using an SPI™/MICROWIRE™ interface for communication with the host microcontroller, this compact 16-pin QSOP device is suitable for RS-232, RS-485, IR, and opto-isolated data links.

Key features include:

• Infrared data association (IrDA) timing mode for IR-link communication
• Built-in crystal oscillator and software-programmable baud rate generator (300 baud to 230k baud)
• Low power consumption: 150µA operating current at 3.3V, 10µA in shutdown with receive interrupt
• 8-word-deep FIFO buffer to minimize processor overhead
• Flexible interrupt with four maskable sources
• Two hardware-handshaking control lines
• Schmitt-Trigger inputs for opto-couplers
• TX and RTS outputs sink 25mA for opto-couplers

• Handheld Instruments
• Intelligent Instrumentation
• UART in SPI Systems
• Small Networks in HVAC or Building Control
• Isolated RS-232/RS-485: Directly Drives Opto-Couplers
• Low-Cost IR Data Links for Computers/Peripherals

Standard export packaging available. Customers can choose from cartons, wooden cases, and wooden pallets according to their requirements.
