3-V to 5.5-V Multichannel RS-232 Line Driver/Receiver With +/-15kV ESD (HBM) Protection - MAX3243
Datasheet
MAX3243 3-V to 5.5-V Multichannel RS-232 Line Driver/Receiver With ±15-kV ESD (HBM) Protection datasheet (Rev. O)
 

Recommended alternative parts

  • TRS3243E  -  The device has the SAME FUNCTIONALITY/PINOUT as the compared device but includes enhanced IEC61000-4-2 ESD Protection.
  • MAX3243E  -  TI recommends the MAX3243E in new designs. The MAX3243E is an improved direct drop-in replacement for the MAX3243
  • TRS3243  - The device is an EXACT EQUIVALENT in functionality and parametrics to the compared device. 

Description

The MAX3243 device consists of three line drivers, five line receivers which is ideal for DE-9 DTE interface. ±15-kV ESD (HBM) protection pin to pin (serial- port connection pins, including GND). Flexible power features saves power automatically. Special outputs ROUT2B and INVALID are always enabled to allow checking for ring indicator and valid RS232 input.
