3V, ±15kV ESD-Protected, AutoShutdown Plus
RS-232 Transceiver for PDAs and Cell Phones
General Description
The MAX3387E 3V powered TIA/EIA-232 and V.28/V.24
is a communications interface with low power require-
ments, high data-rate capabilities, and enhanced elec-
trostatic discharge (ESD) protection. The MAX3387E
has three receivers and three transmitters. All RS-232
inputs and outputs are protected to ±15kV using the
IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge method, ±8kV using
the IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge method, and
±15kV using the Human Body Model.
A proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage
enables true RS-232 performance from a +3.0V to
+5.5V supply with a dual charge pump. The charge
pump requires only four small 0.1µF capacitors for
operation from a +3.3V supply. The MAX3387E is capa-
ble of running at data rates up to 250kbps while main-
taining RS-232 compliant output levels.
The MAX3387E has a unique VL pin that allows interop-
eration in mixed-logic voltage systems. Both input and
output logic levels are pin programmable through the
VL pin. The MAX3387E is available in a space-saving
TSSOP package.
