±15kV ESD-Protected, 0.5µA, +3V to +5.5V,
1.5Mbps RS-232 Receivers in SOT23-5
General Description
The MAX3180E–MAX3183E single RS-232 receivers in
a SOT23-5 package are designed for space- and cost-
constrained applications requiring minimal RS-232
communications. The receiver inputs are protected to
±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge, to ±8kV
using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge, and to ±15kV
per the Human Body Model, ensuring compliance with
international standards.
The devices minimize power and heat dissipation by
consuming only 0.5µA supply current from a +3.0V to
+5.5V supply, and they guarantee true RS-232 perfor-
mance up to a 1.5Mbps data rate. The MAX3180E/
MAX3182E feature a three-state TTL/CMOS receiver
output that is controlled by an
EN
logic input. The
MAX3181E/MAX3183E feature an
INVALID
output that
indicates valid RS-232 signals at the receiver input for
applications requiring automatic system wake-up. The
MAX3182E/MAX3183E have a noninverting output,
while the MAX3180E/MAX3181E have a standard
inverting output.

The MAX3180E–MAX3183E are EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/
V.24 communications receivers that convert RS-232
signals to CMOS logic levels. They operate on a +3V to
+5.5V supply, have 1.5Mbps data rate capability, and
feature enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protec-
tion (see
ESD Protection).
All of these devices achieve
a typical supply current of 0.5µA. The MAX3180E/
MAX3182E have a receiver enable control (EN). The
MAX3181E/MAX3183E contain a signal invalid output
(INVALID). The MAX3180E/MAX3181E invert the ROUT
signal relative to RIN (standard RS-232). The
MAX3182E/MAX3183E outputs are not inverted. The
devices come in tiny SOT23-5 packages.

If no valid signal levels appear on RIN for 30µs (typ),
INVALID
goes low. This event typically occurs if the
RS-232 cable is disconnected, or if the connected
peripheral transmitter is turned off.
INVALID
goes high
when a valid level is applied to the RS-232 receiver
input. Figure 2 shows the input levels and timing dia-
gram for

ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD protection structures
are incorporated on all pins to protect against ESD
encountered during handling and assembly. The
receiver inputs of the MAX3180E–MAX3183E have extra
protection against static electricity. Maxim’s engineers
have developed state-of-the-art structures enabling
these pins to withstand ESD up to ±15kV without dam-
age or latchup. The receiver inputs of the MAX3180E–
MAX3183E are characterized for protection to the fol-
lowing limits:
•
±15kV using the Human Body Model
•
±8kV using the Contact Discharge method specified
in IEC 1000-4-2
•
±15kV using the Air-Gap Discharge method speci-
fied in IEC 1000-4-2
