DESCRIPTION
The ST3237 is a 3V to 5.5V powered EIA/TIA-232
and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces high
data-rat e capabilit ies. ST32 37 is a tra nsceive r (5
drivers, 3 receivers) for fast modem applications.
The device has a proprietary low-dropout
transmitter output stage providing true RS-232
performance from a 3V to 5.5V supply using a
dual charge pump. The device is guaranteed to
run at data rates of 250Kbps in the normal
