2.5V, 1µA, 460kbps, RS-232-Compatible Transceivers
General Description
The MAX3316–MAX3319 transceivers have a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage enabling RS-232compatible performance from +2.25V to +3.0V with a dual-charge pump. These devices require only four 0.1µF capacitors, and are guaranteed to operate at data rates up to 460kbps. The MAX3318/MAX3319 achieve a 1µA supply current using Maxim’s revolutionary AutoShutdown Plus™ feature. These devices automatically enter a low-power shutdown mode when the RS-232 cable is disconnected or the transmitters of the connected peripherals are inactive for more than 30 seconds. They turn on again when they sense a valid transition at any transmitter or receiver input.
