±15kV ESD-Protected USB Transceivers in UCSP with USB Detect

The MAX3344E/MAX3345E USB transceivers convert logic-level signals to USB signals, and USB signals to logic-level signals. An internal 1.5kΩ USB pullup resistor supports full-speed (12Mbps) USB operation. The MAX3344E/MAX3345E provide built-in ±15kV ESD-protection circuitry on the USB I/O pins, D+ and D-, and VCC.

The MAX3344E/MAX3345E operate with logic supply voltages as low as 1.65V, ensuring compatibility with low-voltage ASICs. The suspend mode lowers supply current to less than 40µA. An enumerate function allows devices to logically disconnect while plugged in. The MAX3344E/MAX3345E are fully compliant with USB specification 1.1, and full-speed operation under USB specification 2.0.

The MAX3344E/MAX3345E have a USB detect that monitors the USB bus for insertion and signals this event. The MAX3344E USBDET threshold is between 3.6V (min) and 4V (max), while the MAX3345E USBDET threshold is between 1V (min) and 2.8V (max).

The MAX3344E/MAX3345E are available in the miniature 4 x 4 UCSP™, as well as the small 16-pin TSSOP, and are specified over the extended temperature range, -40°C to +85°C.
