The MAX3224E/MAX3225E/MAX3226E/MAX3227E/
MAX3244E/MAX3245E are 3V-powered EIA/TIA-232
and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces with automat-
ic shutdown/wakeup features, high data-rate capabili-
tie s , a nd e nha nc e d e le c tros ta tic d is c ha rg e (ESD)
protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs
are protected to ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap
Discharge, ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge,
and ±15kV using the Human Body Model.
♦ ESD Protection for RS-232 I/O Pins:
±15kV—Human Body Model
±8kV—IEC1000-4-2, Contact Discharge
±15kV—IEC1000-4-2, Air-Gap Discharge
♦ Latchup Free
♦ 1µA Supply Current
♦ AutoShutdown Plus—EDN Innovation of the Year
♦ Guaranteed Data Rate:
All devices achieve a 1µA supply current using Maxim’s
re volutiona ry AutoShutd own Plus ™ fe a ture . The s e
d e vic e s a utoma tic a lly e nte r a low-p owe r s hutd own
mode when 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 receiv-
e r inp ut. AutoShutd own Plus s a ve s p owe r without
changes to the existing BIOS or operating system.
250kbps (MAX3224E/3226E/3244E)
1Mbps (MAX3225E/3227E/3245E)
♦ Guaranteed Slew Rate:
6V/µs (MAX3224E/3226E/3244E)
24V/µs (MAX3225E/3227E/3245E)
♦ Meets EIA/TIA-232 Specifications Down to 3.0V
♦ Guaranteed Mouse Driveability

The MAX3225E/MAX3227E/MAX3245E a ls o fe a ture
MegaBaud™ operation, guaranteeing 1Mbps for high-
speed applications such as communicating with ISDN
modems. The MAX3224E/MAX3226E/MAX3244E guar-
antee 250kbps operation. The transceivers have a pro-
prietary low-dropout transmitter output stage enabling
true RS-232 performance from a +3.0V to +5.5V supply
with a dual charge pump. The charge pump requires
only four small 0.1µF capacitors for operation from a
3.3V supply. The MAX3224E–MAX3227E feature a logic-
level output (READY) that asserts when the charge
pump is regulating and the device is ready to begin
transmitting.
