The MAX3314 is a ±5V powered EIA/TIA-232-compatible interface. It has one transmitter and one receiver in a flow-through architecture. The transmitter has a low-dropout output stage providing minimum RS-232-compatible ±3.7V output levels while driving 3kΩ and 1000pf at 460kbps. Both +5V and -5V are supplied externally. The MAX3314 has a active-low SHDN function that reduces supply current to 1µA. The transmitter is disabled and put into 3-state mode while the receiver remains active. The MAX3314 is available in 8-pin SOT23, µMAX® and SO packages.
