General Description
The MAX3380E/MAX3381E are +2.35V to +5.5V-pow-
ered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communication inter-
faces with low power requirements, high data-rate
capabilities, and enhanced electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protection on both the TTL and RS-232 sides.
The MAX3380E/MAX3381E have two receivers and two
transmitters. All RS-232 inputs, outputs, and logic input
pins are protected to ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-
Gap Discharge method and the Human Body Model,
and ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge
method.
The proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage
enables true RS-232 performance from a +3.1V to
+5.5V supply with a dual charge pump. The parts
reduce the transmitter output levels to RS-232-compati-
ble levels with no increase in supply current for sup-
plies less than +3.1V and greater than +2.35V. The
+2.35V to +5.5V operating range is fully compatible
with lithium-ion (Li+) batteries. The charge pump
requires only four small 0.1µF capacitors for operation.
The MAX3380E/MAX3381E transceivers use Maxim’s
revolutionary AutoShutdown Plus™ feature to auto-
matically enter a 1µA shutdown mode. These
devices shut down the on-board power supply and
drivers when they do not sense a valid signal transi-
tion for 30 seconds on either the receiver or trans-
mitter inputs.
The MAX3380E is capable of transmitting data at
rates of 460kbps while maintaining RS-232 output
levels, and the MAX3381E operates at data rates up
to 250kbps. The MAX3381E offers a slower slew rate
for applications where noise and EMI are issues. The
MAX3380E/MAX3381E have a unique V
L
pin that
allows interoperation in mixed-logic voltage systems
down to +1.65V. Both input and output logic levels
are referenced to the V
L
pin. The MAX3380E/MAX3381E
are available in a space-saving TSSOP package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Note 1: V+ and V- can have maximum magnitudes of +7V, but their absolute difference cannot exceed +13V.
