MAX3316E

19-1616; Rev 0; 1/00 ±15kV ESD-Protected, 2.5V, 1µA, 460kbps, RS-232 Compatible Transceivers _______________General Description The MAX3316E–MAX3319E are 2.5V powered RS-232 compatible transceivers. These devices feature shutdown (MAX3317E), AutoShutdown Plus™ (MAX3318E/ MAX3319E), and enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection integrated into the chip. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs 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. All devices are guaranteed at a data rate of 460kbps. The transceivers have a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage enabling RS-232 compatible operation from a +2.25V to +3.0V supply with a dual charge pump. The charge pump requires only four 0.1µF capacitors. The MAX3318E/MAX3319E feature a logiclevel output (READY) that asserts when the charge pump is regulating and the device is ready to begin transmitting. The MAX3318E/MAX3319E achieve a 1µA supply current using Maxim’s revolutionary AutoShutdown Plus feature. These devices automatically enter a low-power shutdown mode when the RS-232 cable is disconnected or the transmitters of the connected peripherals are inactive for more than 30 seconds. They turn on again when they sense a valid transition at any transmitter or receiver input. AutoShutdown Plus saves power without changes to the existing BIOS or operating system. The MAX3317E also features a 1µ...
