General Description
The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/
MAX3246E +3.0V-powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24
communications interface devices feature low power con-
sumption, high data-rate capabilities, and enhanced
electrostatic-discharge (ESD) protection. The enhanced
ESD structure protects all transmitter outputs and
receiver inputs to ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap
Discharge, ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge
(±9kV for MAX3246E), and ±15kV using the Human Body
Model. The logic and receiver I/O pins of the MAX3237E
are protected to the above standards, while the transmit-
ter output pins are protected to ±15kV using the Human
Body Model.
A proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage delivers
true RS-232 performance from a +3.0V to +5.5V power
supply, using an internal dual charge pump. The charge
pump requires only four small 0.1µF capacitors for opera-
tion from a +3.3V supply. Each device guarantees opera-
tion at data rates of 250kbps while maintaining RS-232
output levels. The MAX3237E guarantees operation at
250kbps in the normal operating mode and 1Mbps in the
MegaBaud™ operating mode, while maintaining RS-232-
compliant output levels.
The MAX3222E/MAX3232E have two receivers and two
transmitters. The MAX3222E features a 1µA shutdown
mode that reduces power consumption in battery-pow-
ered portable systems. The MAX3222E receivers remain
active in shutdown mode, allowing monitoring of external
devices while consumi_Fng_uo_nn_cly_t1_iµ_oA_no_af s_lup_Dp_ily_ac_gur_rre_an_mt. T_she
MAX3222E and MAX3232E are pin, package, and func-
tionally compatible with the industry-standard MAX242
and MAX232, respectively.
The MAX3241E/MAX3246E are complete serial ports
(three drivers/five receivers) designed for notebook and
subnotebook computers. The MAX3237E (five drivers/
three receivers) is ideal for peripheral applications that
require fast data transfer. These devices feature a shut-
down mode in which all receivers remain active, while
consuming only 1µA (MAX3241E/MAX3246E) or 10nA
(MAX3237E).
The MAX3222E, MAX3232E, and MAX3241E are avail-
able in space-saving SO, SSOP, TQFN and TSSOP pack-
ages. The MAX3237E is offered in an SSOP package.
The MAX3246E is offered in the ultra-small 6 x 6 UCSP™
package.
