The MAX3187 is a complete, dual DTE RS-232 serial port that meets the stringent ESD requirements of the European Community. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge, ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge, and ±15kV using the Human Body Model. The MAX3187’s six RS-232 transmitters and ten RS-232 receivers require no charge pump. Guaranteed to run at data rates up to 230kbps, the MAX3187 is optimized for desktop PC and motherboard applications, and is compatible with popular software for PC communications. Power-supply current is less than 1mA for IDD and ISS, and less than 3mA for ICC. The MAX3187 is available in a space-saving 36-pin SSOP package.
The MAX3187 provides two complete DTE RS‑232 serial ports optimized for desktop PCs and motherboards. It includes six RS‑232 drivers and ten receivers, operates up to 230 kbps, and draws less than 1 mA supply current for the driver and less than 3 mA for the receiver.
The device is protected against electro‑static discharge with +15 kV Human Body Model, +8 kV IEC contact discharge, and +15 kV IEC air‑gap protection. It is supplied in a space‑saving 36‑pin SSOP package and is suitable for applications such as desktop PCs, motherboards, instruments, and equipment meeting IEC 1000‑4‑2 standards.
