Datasheet

General Description
The MAX3322E/MAX3323E 3.0V to 5.5V powered
EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces
are designed for multidrop applications with low power
requirements, high data-rate capabilities, and
enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. All
RS-232 inputs and outputs are protected to ±15kV
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.
The MAX3322E/MAX3323E have pin-selectable
5k/high-impedance RS-232 receivers. These devices
are capable of receiving data in high-impedance mode.
In multidrop applications, one receiver has a 5k input
resistance, while the other receivers are high imped-
ance to ensure the RS-232 standard is observed. Logic
control permits selection of the functional mode: high
impedance or RS-232 standard load. The transmitters
are enabled by logic control to allow the multiplexing of
the inputs to a single UART.
A proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage
enables 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 capacitors for operation
from a 3.3V supply. The MAX3322E/MAX3323E are
capable of running at data rates up to 250kbps while
maintaining RS-232-compliant output levels. The
MAX3322E/MAX3323E have a unique V
L
pin that allows
operation in mixed-logic voltage systems. Both input
and output logic levels are pin programmable through
the V
L
pin.
The MAX3322E is a 2Tx/2Rx device for hardware hand-
shaking in standard RS-232 mode, and the MAX3323E
is a 1Tx/1Rx, required in most multidrop applications.
The MAX3322E is offered in a space-saving TSSOP
package. The MAX3323E is offered in 16-pin DIP and
space-saving TSSOP packages.
