Key Featrues

Active Receivers in Shutdown Mode (MAX560): The MAX560 features two receivers that remain active even in shutdown mode, ensuring critical communication continues while minimizing power consumption. This is particularly useful in low-power applications where maintaining connectivity is essential without draining the battery.
Compact 28-Pin SSOP Package: The device is housed in a small 28-pin SSOP package, which occupies 40% less area than traditional SO packages. This compact design allows for greater integration in space-constrained applications, such as portable devices or densely packed PCBs.
Single +3.0V to +3.6V Supply Operation: The MAX560 operates efficiently from a single +3.0V to +3.6V power supply, making it ideal for modern low-voltage systems. This feature reduces the need for additional voltage regulation components, simplifying design and lowering overall system cost.
Guaranteed Interoperability with RS-232: The device is designed to guarantee interoperability with RS-232 interfaces, ensuring reliable communication in mixed-signal environments. This makes it a versatile choice for applications requiring compatibility with legacy systems or multi-protocol communication.
Low-Power Shutdown Mode: The MAX560 offers a low-power shutdown mode with a current consumption of less than 8µA, significantly reducing power usage when the device is idle. This feature is beneficial for battery-powered applications, extending operational life and enhancing energy efficiency.
