description
The MAXT3243 devices
consist of three line drivers, five line receivers, and a dual charge-pump circuit with
±
15-kV ESD protection pin-to-pin (serial-port connection pins, including GND). These devices provide the
electrical interface between an asynchronous communication controller and the serial-port connector, and meet
the requirements of TIA/EIA-232-F. This combination of drivers and receivers matches that needed for the
typical serial port used in an IBM PC/AT, or compatible. The charge pump and four small external capacitors
allow operation from a single 3-V to 5.5-V supply. In addition, these devices include an always-active
noninverting output (ROUT2B) that allows applications using the ring indicator to transmit data while the devices
are powered down. The devices operate at data signaling rates up to 1 Mbit/s, with an increased slew-rate range
of 24 V/
