MAX1488E
±15kV ESD-Protected, Quad, Low-Power
RS-232 Line Driver
General Description
The MAX1488E quad, low-power line driver is designed
for EIA/TIA-232, EIA/TIA-562, and CCITT V.28 communications in harsh environments. Each transmitter output is
protected against ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD)
shocks. The inputs are TTL and CMOS compatible with
minimal loading. The outputs feature internally controlled
slew-rate limiting and current limiting. This device has a
guaranteed 120kbps data rate. Power-supply current is
less than 180μA over a ±4.5V to ±13.2V supply voltage
range.
The MAX1488E is pin compatible with the MC1488,
MC14C88, SN75188, SN75C188, DS1488, and DS14C88.
It is available in 14-pin plastic DIP and SO packages.

Detailed Description
The MAX1488E provides ±15kV of ESD protection when
operating or when powered down. After an ESD event,
the MAX1488E will not latch up. Internal slew-rate-limiting
circuitry eliminates the need for external capacitors. The
MAX1488E has a guaranteed 120kbps data rate.
Outputs
Tables 1 and 2 describe the output states. The output
voltage level is affected by both the load current and supply voltage, and is stable over temperature. Refer to the
Typical Operating Characteristics to see how the output
voltage varies with supply voltage, load capacitance, and
temperature.

Maxim’s engineers developed state-of-the-art structures
to protect these pins against ESD of ±15kV, without
damage. After an ESD event, the MAX1488E keeps working without latchup.
ESD protection can be tested in various ways; the
transmitter outputs are characterized for protection to the
following:

Inputs
The driver inputs determine the driver output states
(Tables 1 and 2). Driver inputs B, C, and D have two
inputs. Connect unused inputs to ground or VCC.
±15kV ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures are
incorporated on all pins to protect against electro-static
discharges encountered during handling and assembly. The MAX1488E driver outputs have extra protec-

ESD performance depends on a number of conditions.
Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents test
setup, methodology, and results.
Human Body Model
Figure 2a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure
2b shows the current waveform it generates when discharged into a low impedance. This model consists of a
100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest,
which is then discharged into the test device through a
1.5kΩ resistor.

Machine Model
The IEC1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing
and performance of finished equipment; it does not
specifically refer to integrated circuits. The MAX1488E
helps you design equipment that meets Level 4 (the highest
level) of IEC1000-4-2, without additional ESD-protection
components.
The Machine Model for ESD testing uses a 200pF storage capacitor and zero-discharge resistance. Its objective
is to mimic the stress caused by contact that occurs with
handling and assembly during manufacturing. Of course,
all pins (not just RS-232 inputs and outputs) require this
protection during manufacturing. Therefore, the Machine
Model is less relevant to the I/O ports than the Human
Body Model and IEC1000-4-2.
The major difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC1000-4-2 is higher peak current in IEC1000-4-2. Because series resistance is lower
in the IEC1000-4-2 ESD test model (Figure 3a), the ESD
withstand voltage measured to this standard is generally
lower than that measured using the Human Body Model.
Figure 3b shows the current waveform for the ±6kV
IEC1000-4-2 Level 4 ESD Contact-Discharge test.
The Air-Gap test involves approaching the device with a
charged probe. The Contact-Discharge method connects
the probe to the device before the probe is energized.

Applications Information
Use proper layout to ensure other devices on your board
are not damaged in an ESD strike. Currents as high as
60A can instantaneously pass into the ground, so it is
important to minimize the ground-lead return path to the
power supply. A separate return path to the power supply
is recommended. Trace widths should be greater than 40
mils. VCC and VEE must be bypassed with 0.1μF capacitors as close to the part as possible to ensure maximum
ESD protection.
