Texas Instruments MAX3318E RS-232 Transceiver Datasheet
The MAX3318E is a dual‑driver, dual‑receiver RS‑232‑compatible transceiver designed for low‑power, battery‑powered applications. It operates from a single 2.25 V to 3 V supply and includes an auto‑power‑down plus feature that reduces supply current to 1 µA when the serial port is idle.
The device offers robust electrostatic discharge protection of up to +15 kV (human‑body model) and includes a charge‑pump architecture that requires only four 0.1 µF capacitors. It is available in 20‑pin SSOP and 20‑pin TSSOP packages.
