DESCRIPTION
The ST3237E is a 3V to 5.5V powered EIA/
TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces
high data-rate capability and enhanced
electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection at ±8KV
using IEC1000-4-2 contact discharge and ±15kV
using H uman Body Model (HBM). The other p ins
are protected with standard ESD protection at
±2kV using HBM method. The ST3237C is a
transceiver (5 drive rs, 3 receivers) for fast modem
applications.
The device has a proprietary low-dropout
transmitter output stage prov iding 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
operation m ode and 1Mbps in the very high speed
operation mode while maintaining RS-232 output
levels.
