±15kV ESD-Protected, EMC-Compliant, 230kbps,
Dual RS-232 Serial Port for Motherboards/Desktops
_______________General Description
The MAX3187 complete, dual DTE RS-232 serial port
meets the stringent ESD requirements of the European
Community. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs
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 MAX3187’s six RS-232 transmitters and ten RS-232
receivers require no charge pump. Guaranteed to run
at data rates up to 230kbps, the MAX3187 is optimized
for desktop PC and motherboard applications, and is
compatible with popular software for PC communica-
tions. Power-supply current is less than 1mA for I
DD
and I
SS
, and less than 3mA for I
CC
.
The MAX3187 is available in a space-saving 36-pin
SSOP package.

±15kV ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures
are incorporated on all pins to protect against electro-
static discharges (ESD) encountered during handling
and assembly. The MAX3187 driver outputs and receiv-
er inputs have extra protection against static electricity
found in normal operation. Maxim’s engineers devel-
oped state-of-the-art structures to protect these pins
against ±15kV ESD, without damage. After an ESD
event, the MAX3187 continues working without latchup.
ESD protection can be tested in several ways. The
transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are character-
ized for protection to the following:
1) ±15kV using the Human Body Model
2) ±8kV using the Contact-Discharge Method specified
in IEC 1000-4-2 (formerly IEC 801-2)
3) ±15kV using the Air-Gap Method specified in
IEC 1000-4-2 (formerly IEC 801-2)
