description
The SN75LV4737A‡ consists of three line drivers, five line receivers, and a charge-pump circuit. It provides the
electrical interface between an asynchronous communication controller and the serial-port connector, and
meets the requirements of TIA/EIA-232-F. This combination of drivers and receivers matches those needed for
the typical serial port used in an IBM PC/AT or compatibles. The charge pump and five small external capacitors
allow operation from a single 3.3-V supply, and four capacitors allow operation from a 5-V supply.
The device has flexible control options for power management when the serial port is inactive. A common
disable for all of the drivers and receivers is provided with the active-high STBY input. The active-low EN input
is an enable for one receiver to implement a wake-up feature for the serial port. All the logic inputs can accept
signals from controllers operating from a 5-V supply, even though the SN75LV4737A is operating from 3.3 V.
The SN75LV4737A is characterized for operation over the temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of
Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

† Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. All voltages are with respect to network GND.
2. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51.
