LOGIC-LEVEL TRANSLATION
The MAX13234E–MAX13237E are +3V to +5.5V pow-
ered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications inter-
faces with high data-rate capabilities (up to 3Mbps), a
flexible logic voltage interface, and enhanced electro-
static discharge (ESD) protection. All receiver inputs
and transmitter outputs are protected to ±15kV IEC
61000–4-2 Air Gap Discharge, ±8kV IEC 61000-4-2
Contact Discharge, and ±15kV Human Body Model.
The MAX13234E/MAX13235E have two receivers and
two transmitters, while the MAX13236E/MAX13237E
have a single receiver and transmitter. The transmitters
have a low-dropout transmitter output stage, delivering
true RS-232 performance from a +3V to +5.5V supply
based on a dual charge pump. The charge pump
requires only four small 0.1µF capacitors for operation
from a +3.3V supply.
All devices achieve a 1µA supply current using Maxim’s
AutoShutdown Plus™ feature. These devices automati-
cally enter a low-power shutdown mode when the
RS-232 cable is disconnected or the devices driving
the transmitter and receiver inputs are inactive for more
than 30s.
The MAX13234E–MAX13237E are available in space-
saving TQFN and TSSOP packages and operate over
the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.

Note 1:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
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.
