General Description
The MAX563 is a +3.3V-powered EIA/TIA-562 transceiver with two transmitters and two receivers. Because it implements the EIA/TIA-562 standard, the MAX563 communicates with RS-232 transceivers, yet consumes far less
power; this makes it ideal for battery-powered, hand-held computers. And, the MAX563 guarantees a 116kbps data rate while maintaining ±3.7V EIA/TIA-562 signal levels, which makes it compatible with LapLink™ software.
