General Description
Features
The MAX3228E/MAX3229E are +2.5V to +5.5V pow-
ered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications inter-
faces with low power requirements, high data-rate
capabilities, and enhanced electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protection, in a chip-scale package (UCSP™).
All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protect-
ed to ±±5kV using IEC ±111-4-2 Air-ꢀap Discharge,
±8kV using IEC ±111-4-2 Contact Discharge, and
±±5kV using the ꢁuman ꢂodꢃ Model.
o 6 ✕ 5 Chip-Scale Packaging (UCSP)
o ESD Protection for RS-232 I/O Pins:

o 251kbps ꢃHaranteeꢆ Data Rate
The MAX3228E/MAX3229E achieve a ±µA supplꢃ cur-
rent with Maxim’s AutoShutdown™ feature. Theꢃ save
power without changes to existing ꢂIOS or operating
sꢃstems bꢃ entering low-power shutdown mode when
the RS-232 cable is disconnected, or when the trans-
mitters of the connected peripherals are off.
o ꢇeets EIꢂ/TIꢂ-232 Specifications Down to +3.±ꢀ
o RS-232 Coupatible to +2.5ꢀ ꢂllows Operation
frou Single Li+ Cell
o Suall 1.±µF Capacitors
o ConfigHrable Logic Levels
The transceivers have a proprietarꢃ low-dropout trans-
mitter output stage, delivering RS-232 compliant perfor-
mance from a +3.±V to +5.5V supplꢃ, and RS-232
compatible performance with a supplꢃ voltage as low
as +2.5V. The dual charge pump requires onlꢃ four
small 1.±µF capacitors for operation from a +3.1V sup-
plꢃ. Each device is guaranteed to run at data rates of
251kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels.
