2.5V, ±±5ꢀV EꢁDꢂ-rotected Rꢁꢂ232
Transceivers for -DAs and Cell -hones
General Description
Features
The MAX3388E/MAX3389E are 2.5V-powered EIA/TIA-
232 and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces with low
power requirements, high data-rate capabilities, and
enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. The
MAX3388E/MAX3389E have two receivers and three
transmitters. All RS-232 inputs and outputs are protected
to ±±5ꢀV using the IEꢁ ±111-4-2 Air-ꢂap Discharge
method, ±8ꢀV using the IEꢁ ±111-4-2 ꢁontact Discharge
method, and ±±5ꢀV using the ꢃuman ꢄodꢅ Model.

In addition to the traditional RS-232 I/O, these devices have
dedicated logic-level I/O pins for additional device-to-
device handshaꢀing. During shutdown the logic-level I/O
pins are active for the MAX3389E. An internal 62Ω switch is
provided to switch power to external circuitrꢅ or modules.

OUꢅ
A proprietarꢅ low-dropout transmitter output stage
enables RS-232 compatible performance from a +2.35V
to +3.1V supplꢅ with a dual charge pump. The charge
pump requires onlꢅ four small 1.±µF capacitors for oper-
ation from a +2.5V supplꢅ. The MAX3388E/MAX3389E
are capable of running at data rates up to 461ꢀbps while
maintaining RS-232-compatible output levels.
