±15kV ESD-Protected, 1µA, 3.0V to 5.5V, 250kbps,
RS-232 Transceivers with AutoShutdown
General Description
The MAX3221E/MAX3223E/MAX3243E are 3V-powered
EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces
with automatic shutdown/wakeup features, high data-
rate capabilities, and enhanced electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver
inputs are protected to ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-
Gap Discharge, to ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact
Discharge, and to ±15kV using the Human Body Model.
The MAX3221E/MAX3223E/MAX3243E achieve a
1µA supply current with Maxim’s revolutionary
AutoShutdown™ feature. They save power without
changes to the existing BIOS or operating system by enter-
ing low-power shutdown mode when the RS-232 cable is
disconnected, or when the transmitters of the connected
peripherals are off.
The transceivers have a proprietary low-dropout trans-
mitter output stage, delivering 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 capaci-
tors for operation from a +3.3V supply. Each device is
guaranteed to run at data rates of 250kbps while main-
taining RS-232 output levels.
The MAX3221E contains just one driver and one receiver,
making it the smallest single-supply RS-232 transceiver.
The MAX3223E has two drivers and two receivers. The
MAX3243E is a complete 3-driver/5-receiver serial port
ideal for notebook or subnotebook computers. It also
includes two noninverting receiver outputs that are always
active, allowing external devices to be monitored without
forward biasing the protection diodes in circuitry that may
be powered down.
The MAX3221E, MAX3223E, and MAX3243E are avail-
able in space-saving TQFN, SSOP, and TSSOP pack-
ages.

Note 1:
V+ and V- can have maximum magnitudes of 7V, but their absolute difference cannot exceed 13V.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
