MAX3227 is a single-channel RS-232 line driver/receiver from TI with ±15-kV ESD protection, meeting or exceeding the requirements of equipment TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU v.28 standards.
The MAX3227 is a single-supply RS-232 transceiver designed for battery-powered and portable equipment such as PDAs, laptops, and mobile phones. It meets TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU v.28 standards and operates at data rates of up to 1 Mbit/s using only four small external capacitors.
The device features a unique Auto-Powerdown Plus capability that automatically disables drivers to save power when the RS-232 cable is disconnected or peripheral drivers are inactive for over 30 seconds. It includes +15-kV Human-Body Model ESD protection and is packaged in a plastic shrink small-outline package.
