STMicroelectronics ST3243C
The ST3243B/ST3243C devices consist of 3 drivers, 5 receivers and a dual charge pump circuit. The devices meet the requirements of EIA/TIA and V.28/V.24 communication standards providing high data rate capability and enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. The receiver R2 is always active to implement a wake-up feature for the serial port.| Part No. | ST3243C |

DESCRIPTION
All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to ±8 kV using IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge and ±15 kV IEC61000-4-2 air discharge. The ST3243B/ST3243C devices have a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage enabling true RS-232 performance from a 3.0 V to 5.5 V supply with a dual charge pump. The devices are guaranteed to run at data rates of 250 kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels. The auto-power-down feature functions when FORCEON is low and FORCEOFF is high. During this mode of operation, if the device does not sense a valid RS-232 signal, the driver outputs are disabled.
