The MAX3386ECUP+ is a 3V, ±25KV ESD-protected RS232 transceiver in 20 pin TSSOP package. The EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 is a communications interface with low power requirements, high data-rate capabilities and enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. The device has two receivers and three transmitters. All RS232 inputs and outputs are protected to ±25KV using the IEC 1000-4-2 air-gap discharge method, ±8KV using the IEC 1000-4-2 contact discharge method and ±15KV using the human body model. It operates in single supply and dual charge pump and the charge pump requires only four small 0.1μF capacitors. It has a unique VL pin that allows interoperation in mixed-logic voltage systems. Both input and output logic levels are pin programmable through the VL pin. It is used in PDAs and PDA cradles, cell phone data cables and subnotebook/palmtop computers.
