±15kV ESD-Protected, 460kbps, 1µA,
RS-232-Compatible Transceiver
General Description
The MAX3314E is a ±5V-powered EIA/TIA-232-compat-
ible interface. It has one transmitter and one receiver in
a flow-through architecture. The transmitter output and
the receiver input are protected to ±15kV using IEC
1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge, ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2
Contact Discharge, and ±15kV using the Human Body
Model.
The transmitter has a low-dropout output stage provid-
ing minimum RS-232-compatible ±3.7V output levels
while driving 3kΩ and 1000pF at 460kbps. Both +5V
and -5V must be supplied externally.
The MAX3314E has a
SHDN
function that reduces sup-
ply current to 1µA. The transmitter is disabled and put
into tristate while the receiver remains active.
The MAX3314E is available in 8-pin µMAX, SOT23, and
SO packages.

Detailed Description
RS-232-Compatible Drivers
The transmitter is an inverting level translator that con-
verts CMOS-logic levels to ±3.7V EIA/TIA-232-compati-
ble levels. It guarantees data rates up to 460kbps with
worst-case loads of 3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF. When
SHDN
is driven low, the transmitter is disabled and put
into tristate. The transmitter input does not have a pull-
up resistor. Connect to ground if unused.
parallel with 1000pF. The transmitter output displays no
ringing or undesirable transients as the MAX3314E
comes out of shutdown.
High Data Rates
The MAX3314E maintains minimum RS-232-compatible
±3.7V transmitter output voltage even at high data rates.
Figure 2 shows a transmitter loopback test circuit.
Figure 3 shows the loopback test result at 120kbps, and
Figure 4 shows the same test at 250kbps.
RS-232-Compatible Receivers
The MAX3314E’s receiver converts RS-232 signals to
CMOS-logic output levels. The receiver is rated to
receive signals to ±25V. It will remain active during
shutdown mode.
±15kV ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures are
incorporated on all pins to protect against electrostatic
discharges encountered during handling and assembly.
The MAX3314E driver outputs and receiver inputs have
extra protection against static discharge. Maxim’s engi-
neers have developed state-of-the-art structures to pro-
tect these pins against ESD of ±15kV without damage.
The ESD structures withstand high ESD in all states: nor-
mal operation, shutdown, and powered down. After an
ESD event, Maxim’s E versions keep working without
latchup, whereas competing products can latch and
must be powered down to remove latchup.
ESD protection can be tested in various ways. The trans-
mitter outputs and receiver inputs of the product family
are characterized for protection to the following limits:
• ±15kV using the Human Body Model
• ±8kV using the Contact Discharge method specified
in IEC 1000-4-2
• ±15kV using the IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap method
MAX3314E Shutdown Mode
In shutdown mode, the transmitter output is put into high
impedance (Table 1). This reduces supply current to 1µA.
The time required to exit shutdown is less than 2.5µs.
Applications Information
Capacitor Selection
The capacitor type used is not critical for proper opera-
tion; either polarized or nonpolarized capacitors are
acceptable. If polarized capacitors are used, connect
