ST3241EB, ST3241EC 15 kV ESD protected 3 to 5.5 V, 400 kbps, RS-232 transceiver with auto power-down Datasheet - production data The ST3241E has 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 device is guaranteed to run at data rates of 250 kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels. It is a complete serial port (3 drivers, 5 receivers) intended for notebook or sub-notebook Features computers. Receivers R1 and R2 have extra ESD protection for RS-232 I/O pins: 8 kV outputs in addition to their standard outputs. IEC 1000-4-2 contact discharge 15 kV These extra outputs are always active. human body model Typical applications are in notebooks, sub- 1 A supply current achieved when in auto notebooks, palmtop computers, battery-powered power-down equipment, hand-held equipment, peripherals, 250 kbps minimum guaranteed data rate and printers. Guaranteed 6 V/s slew rate range Guaranteed mouse drive ability 0.1 F external capacitors Meets EIA/TIA-232 specifications down to 3 V Available in SSOP 28 package Description The ST3241E device consists of 3 drivers, 5 receivers, and a dual charge-pump circuit. The device meets the requirements of EIA/TIA and V.28/V.24 communication standards providing high data rate capability and enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to 8 kV using IEC 1000-4-2 contact discharge and 15 kV using the human body model. The receiver R2 is always active to implement a wake-up feature for the serial port. March 2017 DocID9066 Rev 6 1/14 www.st.com This is information on a product in full production.
