STMicroelectronics ST3237EB RS-232 Transceiver Datasheet

The ST3237E is a 3 V to 5.5 V powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces high data-rate capability and enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection at ±8 kV using IEC1000-4-2 contact discharge and ±15 kV using Human Body Model (HBM). The other pins are protected with standard ESD protection at ±2 kV using HBM method. The ST3237C is a transceiver (5 drivers, 3 receivers) for fast modem applications. The device has a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage providing true RS-232 performance from a 3 V to 5.5 V supply using a dual charge pump. The device is guaranteed to run at data rates of 250 kbps in the normal operation mode and 1 Mbps in the very high speed operation mode while maintaining RS-232 output levels.
