MAX3318 is a dual-driver, dual-receiver, RS-232 compatible transceiver produced by TI company, supports ±15kV ESD protection, operating current 300µA, low power standby mode 1µA, data transmission speed up to 460 kbps.
The MAX3318 dual‑driver, dual‑receiver RS‑232 transceiver operates from a single 2.25‑V to 3‑V supply and supports data rates up to 460 kbps. It includes an auto‑power‑down plus feature that reduces supply current to 1 µA when the serial port is idle, and a charge‑pump architecture that requires only four small capacitors.
The device is offered in 20‑pin SSOP and 20‑pin TSSOP packages and provides robust ESD protection (+15 kV HBM, +8 kV IEC 61000). Detailed electrical characteristics, absolute maximum ratings, and mechanical dimensions are provided for design integration.
