ST3232EB
ST3232EC
±15 kV ESD protection 3 to 5.5 V low power, up to
250 kbps, RS-232 drivers and receivers
Datasheet - production data
• Hand-held equipment
• Peripherals and printers
Description
The ST3232E is a 3 V powered EIA/TIA-232 and
V.28/V.24 communication interfaces with low
power requirements, high data-rate capabilities
and enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD)
protection to ± 8 kV using IEC1000-4-2 contact
discharge and ± 15 kV using the human body
model. The ST3232E has a proprietary lowdropout transmitter output stage providing true
RS-232 performance from 3 to 5 V supplies with a
dual charge pump. The charge pump requires
only four small 0.1 µF standard external
capacitors for operations from 3 V supply.

1. Short-circuits can cause excessive heating and destructive dissipation.
2. Rth are typical values.
Note:
Absolute maximum ratings are those values beyond which damage to the device may occur.
Functional operation under these condition is not implied.
Externally applied V+ and V- can have a maximum magnitude of +7 V, but their absolute
addition can not exceed 13 V.
Running on internal charge pump, intrinsic self limitation allows exceeding those values
without any damage.
Start-up voltage sequence (VCC, then V+, then V-) is critical, therefore it is not
recommended to use this device using externally applied voltage to V+ and V-.
