鹵15kV ESD-Protected, 3.0V to 5.5V, Low-Power,
up to 250kbps, True RS-232 Transceiver
________________General Description
The MAX3384E is a 3V-powered EIA/TIA-232 and
V.28/V.24 communications interface with low power
requirements, high data-rate capabilities, and en-
hanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. All
transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to
鹵15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge, 鹵8kV
using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge, and 鹵15kV
using the Human Body Model.
The transceiver has a proprietary low-dropout transmit-
ter output stage, delivering true RS-232 performance
from a +3.0V to +5.5V supply with a dual charge pump.
The charge pump requires only four small 0.1碌F capac-
itors for operation from a +3.3V supply. Each device is
guaranteed to run at data rates of 250kbps while main-
taining RS-232 output levels.
The MAX3384E has two receivers and two drivers. It
features a 1碌A(chǔ) shutdown mode that reduces power con-
sumption and extends battery life in portable systems.
The MAX3384E is available in a space-saving SSOP
package in either the commercial (0擄C to +70擄C) or
extended temperature (-40擄C to +85擄C) range.
