Rꢀꢁ232 Transceivers in UCꢀ- and WL-
8/MX329AE
General Description
Features
♦ 6 ✕ 5 Chip-Scale Package (UCSP) and WLP
The MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE are +2.5V to
+5.5V powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communica-
tions interfaces with low power requirements, high data-
rate capabilities, and enhanced electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protection, in a chip-scale package (UCSP™)
and WLP Package. All transmitter outputs and receiver
inputs are protected to ±±5kV using IEC ±111-4-2 Air-
Gap Discharge, ±8kV using IEC ±111-4-2 Contact
Discharge, and ±±5kV using the ꢀuman ꢁodꢂ Model.
Package
♦ ESD Protection for RS-232 I/O Pins:

±ꢄkꢀVIEC ±111-ꢁ-2 Contact Discharge
±±5kꢀV—Huan ꢅodꢆ ꢇodel
♦ ±µꢂ Low-Power ꢂHtoShHtdown
♦ 251kbps ꢃHaranteed Data Rate
♦ ꢇeets EIꢂ/TIꢂ-232 Specifications Down to +3.±ꢀ
The MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE achieve a ±µA
supplꢂ current with Maxim’s AutoShutdown™ feature.
Theꢂ save power without changes to existing ꢁIOS or
operating sꢂstems bꢂ entering low-power shutdown
mode when the RS-232 cable is disconnected, or when
the transmitters of the connected peripherals are off.
♦ RS-232 Coupatible to +2.5ꢀ ꢂllows Operation
frou Single Li+ Cell
♦ Suall 1.±µF Capacitors
♦ ConfigHrable Logic Levels
Ordering Information
The transceivers have a proprietarꢂ low-dropout trans-
mitter output stage, delivering RS-232 compliant perfor-
mance from a +3.±V to +5.5V supplꢂ, and RS-232
compatible performance with a supplꢂ voltage as low
as +2.5V. The dual charge pump requires onlꢂ four
small 1.±µF capacitors for operation from a +3.1V sup-
plꢂ. Each device is guaranteed to run at data rates of
251kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels.

The MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE offer a separate
power-supplꢂ input for the logic interface, allowing con-
figurable logic levels on the receiver outputs and trans-
mitter inputs. Operating over a +±.65V to V
range, V
L
CC
provides the MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE com-
patibilitꢂ with multiple logic families.
T = Tape and reel.
The MAX3229E/AE contains one receiver and one
transmitter. The MAX3228E/AE contains two receivers
and two transmitters. The MAX3228E/AE and
MAX3229E/AE are available in tinꢂ chip-scale and WLP
packaging and are specified across the extended
industrial temperature range of -41°C to +85°C.
