MAX3235EEWP+TG36

The MAX3233E/MAX3235EEWP+TG36 are EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces with automatic shutdown/wake-up features, high data-rate capabilities, and enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge, to ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge, and to ±15kV using the Human Body Model. The MAX3233E operates from a +3.3V supply; the MAX3235EEWP+TG36 operates from +5.0V. All devices achieve a 1μA supply current using Maxim's revolutionary AutoShutdown Plus feature. These devices automatically enter a low-power shutdown mode when the following two conditions occur: either the RS-232 cable is disconnected or the transmitters of the connected peripherals are inactive, and the UART driving the transmitter inputs is 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 MAX3233E/MAX3235EEWP+TG36 have internal dual charge pumps requiring no external capacitors. Both transceivers have a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage that enables true RS-232 performance from a +3.0V to +3.6V supply for the MAX3233E or a +4.5V to +5.5V supply for the MAX3235E. These devices are guaranteed to operate up to 250kbps. Both are available in space-saving 20-pin wide SO or plastic DIP packages.
