Maxim MAX3314E RS-232 Interface Chip Datasheet
The MAX3314E is a ±5 V‑powered RS‑232‑compatible transceiver that includes one transmitter and one receiver in a flow‑through architecture. It offers robust ESD protection (±15 kV Human Body Model, ±8 kV Contact, ±15 kV Air‑Gap) and a low‑power shutdown mode that reduces supply current to 1 µA while keeping the receiver active.
Key specifications include a guaranteed 460 kbps data rate with 3 kΩ and 1000 pF load, minimum ±3.7 V output levels, and availability in 8‑pin SOT23, µMAX and SO packages. The device operates from +5 V and –5 V supplies and features a SHDN pin for power‑saving control. Applications span digital cameras, PDAs, GPS, telecommunications, set‑top boxes and other handheld equipment.
