DESCRIPTION
The MAX3237E consists of five line drivers, three line receivers, and a dual charge-pump circuit with ±15-kV
ESD protection pin to pin (serial-port connection pins, including GND). The device meets the requirements of
TIA/EIA-232-F and provides the electrical interface between an asynchronous communication controller and the
serial-port connector. The charge pump and four small external capacitors allow operation from a single 3-V to
5.5-V supply. This device operates at data signaling rates of 250 kbit/s in normal operating mode
(MBAUD = GND) and 1Mbit/s when MBAUD = V
CC
. The driver output slew rate is a maximum of 30 V/ms.
