Product Summary

The max3232eeae is a +3.0V-powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications interface device features low power consumption, high data-rate capabilities, and enhanced electrostatic-discharge (ESD) protection. The enhanced ESD structure protects all transmitter outputs and receiver inputs 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. The logic and receiver I/O pins of the max3232eeae are protected to the above standards, while the transmitter output pins are protected to ±15kV using the Human Body Model. The applications of the max3232eeae include Battery-Powered Equipment, Printers, Cell Phones Smart Phones, Cell-Phone Data Cables, xDSL Modems, Notebook, Subnotebook, and Palmtop Computers.
