Maxim MAX3386E 3.0V ±25kV ESD-Protected RS-232 Transceiver Datasheet
The Maxim MAX3386E is a 3 V‑powered RS‑232 transceiver designed for low‑power handheld devices such as PDAs and cell phones. It integrates two receivers and three transmitters, including a dedicated ring‑indicator transmitter, and features a VL pin that allows operation with mixed‑voltage logic levels.
The device provides robust ESD protection (±25 kV air‑gap, ±15 kV human‑body, ±8 kV contact), operates from a 20‑pin TSSOP package, and supports data rates up to 250 kbps with a typical supply current of 300 µA (less than 1 µA in shutdown).
