MAX221E
±15kV ESD-Protected, +5V, 1µA, Single RS-232 Transceiver with AutoShutdown
General Description
The MAX221E is a +5V powered, single transmit/ receive RS-232 and V.28 communications interface with automatic shutdown/wake-up features and high data rate capabilities.
The MAX221E features enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. Both the transmitter output and receiver input are protected to ±15kV using the IEC 1000-4-2 AirGap Discharge Method, to ±8kV using the IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge Method, and to ±15kV using the Human Body Model.
The MAX221E achieves a low 1µA supply current with Maxim’s revolutionary AutoShutdown™ feature.
