MAX3209E
General Description
Features
The MAX3209E is a complete, dual DTE RS-232 serial
port (6 transmitters, 10 receivers) for motherboards and
desktop PCs that ensures compliance with the stringent
ESD requirements of the European Community. The
device minimizes board space and power consumption
by eliminating the need for a negative power supply; it
integrates two serial ports and a charge pump into a sin-
gle 38-pin TSSOP package.
♦ Two Complete Serial Ports in a Single 38-Pin
TSSOP Package
♦ Requires Only +12V Supply and Logic
Supply (+3V to +5.5V)
♦ No Negative Supply Required
♦ One Receiver Active per Port in Standby
for System Wake-Up
The MAX3209E features a 50µA low-power standby
mode for compliance with system power-management
requirements. During standby, while the device oper-
ates from the single +3V to +5.5V logic supply, one
receiver on each port remains active, allowing automatic
system wake-up when peripheral communications
resume.
♦ 460kbps Data Rate; LapLink Compatible
♦ Enhanced ESD Protection
±15kV—Human Body Model
±8kV—IEC 1000-4-2, Contact Discharge
±15kV—IEC 1000-4-2, Air-Gap Discharge
♦ Low 50µA Standby Current
♦ Operates with Either +3V or +5V Logic
♦ Guaranteed Mouse Driveability
♦ Small 0.1µF Capacitors
All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected
to 15kV using ꢀEC 1000-ꢁ-2 Air-ꢂap Discharge, 8kV
using ꢀEC 1000-ꢁ-2 Contact Discharge, and 15kV
using the Human Body Model, making the device ideal
for use in harsh environments or mission-critical equip-
ment. As a result of its robust charge-pump structure,
the MAX3209E guarantees mouse driveability and true
RS-232 operation at data rates up to ꢁ60kbps, ensuring
compatibility with PC-to-PC communication software
