General Description
The MAX13172E is a four-driver/four-receiver multiprotocol transceiver that operates from a single +5V supply in
conjunction with the MAX13170E and MAX13174E. The
MAX13172E, along with the MAX13170E and the
MAX13174E, form a complete software-selectable data
terminal equipment (DTE) or data communication equipment (DCE) interface port that supports the V.28 (RS-232),
V.10/V.11 (RS-449/V.36, EIA-530, EIA-530A, X.21, RS-
423), and V.35 protocols. The MAX13172E transceiver
carries serial-interface control signaling, while the
MAX13170E carries the high-speed clock and data signals. Typically, the MAX13170E is terminated using the
MAX13174E.
The MAX13172E is available in a 5.3mm x 10.2mm, 28pin SSOP package and operates over the 0°C to +70°C
commercial temperature range.
