+2.35V to +5.5V, 1µA, 2Tx/2Rx RS-232 Transceivers
with ±15kV ESD-Protected I/O and Logic Pins
For Figure 9 and Figure 10, a single transmitter was dri-
ven at 460kbps, and all transmitters were loaded with
an RS-232 receiver in parallel with 1000pF.
The MAX3380E/MAX3381Es’ ±15kV ESD protection on
both the RS-232 I/Os as well as the logic I/Os makes
them ideal candidates for data cable applications. A
data cable is both an electrical connection and a level
translator, allowing ultra-miniaturization of cell phones
and other small portable devices.
Previous data cable approaches suffered from com-
plexity due to the required protection circuits on both
the logic side of the cable, as well as on the RS-232
connections. The example shown in Figure 11 shows
the ease of using the MAX3380E/MAX3381E in data
cable applications. For best performance, keep the
logic level lines short and use the RS-232 level lines to
span any distance.
