________________General Description

The MAX3224E/MAX3225E/MAX3226E/MAX3227E/

MAX3244E/MAX3245E are 3V-powered EIA/TIA-232

and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces with automat-

ic shutdown/wakeup features, high data-rate capabili-

ties, and enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD)

protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs

are protected to ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap

Discharge, ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge,

and ±15kV using the Human Body Model.

All devices achieve a 1µA supply current using Maxim’s

revolutionary AutoShutdown Plus™ feature. These

devices automatically enter a low-power shutdown

mode when the RS-232 cable is disconnected or the

transmitters of the connected peripherals are inactive,

and the UART driving the transmitter inputs is inactive

for more than 30 seconds. They turn on again when

they sense a valid transition at any transmitter or receiv-

er input. AutoShutdown Plus saves power without

changes to the existing BIOS or operating system.

The MAX3225E/MAX3227E/MAX3245E also feature

MegaBaud™ operation, guaranteeing 1Mbps for high-

speed applications such as communicating with ISDN

modems. The MAX3224E/MAX3226E/MAX3244E guar-

antee 250kbps operation. The transceivers have a pro-

prietary low-dropout transmitter output stage enabling

true RS-232 performance from a +3.0V to +5.5V supply

with a dual charge pump. The charge pump requires

only four small 0.1µF capacitors for operation from a

3.3V supply. The MAX3224E–MAX3227E feature a logic-

level output (READY) that asserts when the charge

pump is regulating and the device is ready to begin

transmitting.

All devices are available in a space-saving TQFN,

SSOP, and TSSOP (MAX3224E/MAX3225E/MAX3244E/

MAX3245E) packages.

_______________Detailed Description

Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter

The MAX3224E–MAX3227E/MAX3244E/MAX3245E’s

internal power supply consists of a regulated dual

charge pump that provides output voltages of +5.5V

(doubling charge pump) and -5.5V (inverting charge

pump), over the +3.0V to +5.5V range. The charge

pump operates in discontinuous mode: if the output

voltages are less than 5.5V, the charge pump is

enabled; if the output voltages exceed 5.5V, the

charge-pump is disabled. Each charge pump requires

a flying capacitor (C1, C2) and a reservoir capacitor

(C3, C4) to generate the V+ and V- supplies.

The READY output (MAX3224E–MAX3227E) is low

when the charge pumps are disabled in shutdown

mode. The READY signal asserts high when V- goes

below -4V.

MAX3224E/MAX3225E/

MAX3226E/MAX3227E/MAX3244E/MAX3245E

RS-232 Transmitters

The transmitters are inverting level translators that

convert CMOS-logic levels to 5.0V EIA/TIA-232 levels.

The MAX3224E/MAX3226E/MAX3244E guarantee a

250kbps data rate (1Mbps, for the MAX3225E/MAX3227E/

MAX3245E) with worst-case loads of 3kΩin parallel with

1000pF, providing compatibility with PC-to-PC com-

munication software (such as LapLink®). Transmitters

can be paralleled to drive multiple receivers. Figure 1

shows a complete system connection.

When FORCEOFF is driven to ground or when the Auto-

Shutdown Plus circuitry senses that all receiver and

transmitter inputs are inactive for more than 30s, the

transmitters are disabled and the outputs go into a high-

impedance state. When powered off or shut down, the

outputs can be driven to ±12V. The transmitter inputs

do not have pullup resistors. Connect unused inputs to

GND or VCC.

RS-232 Receivers

The receivers convert RS-232 signals to CMOS-logic

output levels. The MAX3224E–MAX3227E feature

inverting outputs that always remain active (Table 1).

The MAX3244E/MAX3245E have inverting three-state

outputs that are high impedance when shut down

(FORCEOFF = GND) (Table 1).

The MAX3244E/MAX3245E feature an extra, always

active, noninverting output, R2OUTB. R2OUTB output

monitors receiver activity while the other receivers are

high impedance, allowing ring indicator applications to

be monitored without forward biasing other devices

connected to the receiver outputs. This is ideal for sys-

tems where VCC is set to ground in shutdown to

accommodate peripherals such as UARTs (Figure 2).

The MAX3224E–MAX3227E/MAX3244E/MAX3245E fea-

ture an INVALID output that is enabled low when no

valid RS-232 voltage levels have been detected on all

receiver inputs. Because INVALID indicates the receiv-

er input’s condition, it is independent of FORCEON and

FORCEOFF states (Figures 3 and 4).

AutoShutdown Plus Mode

The MAX3224E–MAX3227E/MAX3244E/MAX3245E

achieve a 1µA supply current with Maxim’s AutoShutdown

Plus feature, which operates when FORCEOFF is high

and a FORCEON is low. When these devices do not

sense a valid signal transition on any receiver and trans-

mitter input for 30s, the on-board charge pumps are

shut down, reducing supply current to 1µA. This occurs

if the RS-232 cable is disconnected or if the connected

peripheral transmitters are turned off, and the UART dri-

ving the transmitter inputs is inactive. The system turns

on again when a valid transition is applied to any

RS-232 receiver or transmitter input. As a result, the sys-

tem saves power without changes to the existing BIOS

or operating system.

Figures 3a and 3b depict valid and invalid RS-232

receiver voltage levels. INVALID indicates the receiver

input’s condition, and is independent of FORCEON and

FORCEOFF states. Figure 3 and Tables 1 and 2 sum-

marize the operating modes of the MAX3224E–

MAX3227E/MAX3244E/MAX3245E. FORCEON and

FORCEOFF override AutoShutdown Plus circuitry.

When neither control is asserted, the IC selects

between these states automatically based on the last

receiver or transmitter input edge received.

When shut down, the device’s charge pumps turn off,

V+ is pulled to VCC, V- is pulled to ground, the transmit-

ter outputs are high impedance, and READY

(MAX3224E–MAX3227E) is driven low. The time

required to exit shutdown is typically 100µs (Figure 8).

By connecting FORCEON to INVALID, the MAX3224E–

MAX3227E/MAX3244E/MAX3245E shut down when no

valid receiver level and no receiver or transmitter edge is

detected for 30s, and wake up when a valid receiver

level or receiver or transmitter edge is detected.

By connecting FORCEON and FORCEOFF to INVALID,

the MAX3224E–MAX3227E/MAX3244E/MAX3245E shut

down when no valid receiver level is detected and

wake up when a valid receiver level is detected (same

functionality as AutoShutdown feature on MAX3221E/

MAX3223E/MAX3243E).

A mouse or other system with AutoShutdown Plus may

need time to wake up. Figure 5 shows a circuit that

forces the transmitters on for 100ms, allowing enough

time for the other system to realize that the MAX3244E/

MAX3245E is awake. If the other system outputs valid

RS-232 signal transitions within that time, the RS-232

ports on both systems remain enabled.

Software-Controlled Shutdown

If direct software control is desired, use INVALID to

indicate DTR or ring indicator signal. Tie FORCEOFF

and FORCEON together to bypass the AutoShutdown

Plus so the line acts like a SHDN input.

±15kV ESD Protection

As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures are

incorporated on all pins to protect against electrostatic

discharges encountered during handling and assembly.

The driver outputs and receiver inputs of the

MAX3224E–MAX3227E/MAX3244E/MAX3245E have extra

protection against static electricity. Maxim’s engineers

these pins against ESD of ±15kV without damage. The

ESD structures withstand high ESD in all states: normal

operation, shutdown, and powered down. After an ESD

event, Maxim’s E versions keep working without

latchup, whereas competing RS-232 products can

latch and must be powered down to remove latchup.

ESD protection can be tested in various ways; the

transmitter outputs and receiver inputs of this product

family are characterized for protection to the following

limits:

1) ±15kV using the Human Body Model

2) ±8kV using the Contact-Discharge Method specified

in IEC 1000-4-2

3) ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2’s Air-Gap Method.

ESD Test Conditions

ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions.

Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents

test setup, test methodology, and test results.

Human Body Model

Figure 6a shows the Human Body Model and Figure 6b

shows the current waveform it generates when dis-

charged into a low impedance. This model consists of

a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of inter-

est, which is then discharged into the test device

through a 1.5kΩresistor.

IEC 1000-4-2

The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and per-

formance of finished equipment; it does not specifically

refer to integrated circuits. The MAX3224E–MAX3227E,

MAX3244E/MAX3245E help you design equipment that

meets Level 4 (the highest level) of IEC 1000-4-2, with-

out the need for additional ESD-protection components.

The major difference between tests done using the

Human Body Model and IEC 1000-4-2 is higher peak

current in IEC 1000-4-2, because series resistance is

lower in the IEC 1000-4-2 model. Hence, the ESD with-

stand voltage measured to IEC 1000-4-2 is generally

lower than that measured using the Human Body

Model. Figure 7a shows the IEC 1000-4-2 model and

Figure 7b shows the current waveform for the 8kV, IEC

1000-4-2, Level 4, ESD Contact-Discharge Method.

The Air-Gap Method involves approaching the device

with a charged probe. The Contact-Discharge Method

connects the probe to the device before the probe is

energized.

Machine Model

The Machine Model for ESD tests all pins using a

200pF storage capacitor and zero discharge resis-

tance. Its objective is to emulate the stress caused by

contact that occurs with handling and assembly during

manufacturing. Of course, all pins require this protec-

tion during manufacturing, not just RS-232 inputs and

outputs. Therefore, after PC board assembly, the

Machine Model is less relevant to I/O ports.

__________Applications Information

Capacitor Selection

The capacitor type used for C1–C4 is not critical for

proper operation; polarized or nonpolarized capacitors

can be used. The charge pump requires 0.1µF capaci-

tors for 3.3V operation. For other supply voltages, see

Table 3 for required capacitor values. Do not use val-

ues smaller than those listed in Table 3. Increasing the

capacitor values (e.g., by a factor of 2) reduces ripple

on the transmitter outputs and slightly reduces power

consumption. C2, C3, and C4 can be increased without

changing C1’s value. However, do not increase C1

without also increasing the values of C2, C3, C4,

and CBYPASS, to maintain the proper ratios (C1 to

the other capacitors).

When using the minimum required capacitor values,

make sure the capacitor value does not degrade

excessively with temperature. If in doubt, use capaci-

tors with a larger nominal value. The capacitor’s equiv-

alent series resistance (ESR), which usually rises at low

temperatures, influences the amount of ripple on V+

and V-.

Power-Supply Decoupling

In most circumstances, a 0.1µF VCC bypass capacitor

is adequate. In applications that are sensitive to power-

supply noise, use a capacitor of the same value as

charge-pump capacitor C1. Connect bypass capaci-

tors as close to the IC as possible.

Transmitter Outputs

Figure 8 shows two transmitter outputs when exiting

shutdown mode. As they become active, the two trans-

mitter outputs are shown going to opposite RS-232 lev-

els (one transmitter input is high, the other is low). Each

The transmitter outputs display no ringing or undesir-

able transients as they come out of shutdown. Note that

the transmitters are enabled only when the magnitude

of V- exceeds approximately -3V.

High Data Rates

The MAX3224E/MAX3226E/MAX3244E maintain the

RS-232 ±5.0V minimum transmitter output voltage even

at high data rates. Figure 9 shows a transmitter loop-

back test circuit. Figure 10 shows a loopback test result

at 120kbps, and Figure 11 shows the same test at

250kbps. For Figure 10, all transmitters were driven

simultaneously at 120kbps into RS-232 loads in parallel

with 1000pF. For Figure 11, a single transmitter was dri-

ven at 250kbps, and all transmitters were loaded with

an RS-232 receiver in parallel with 250pF.

The MAX3225E/MAX3227E/MAX3245E maintain the

RS-232 ±5.0V minimum transmitter output voltage at

data rates up to 1Mbps (MegaBaud). Figure 12 shows

a loopback test result with a single transmitter driven at

1Mbps and all transmitters loaded with an RS-232

receiver in parallel with 250pF.

Mouse Driveability

The MAX3244E/MAX3245E are specifically designed to

power serial mice while operating from low-voltage

power supplies. They have been tested with leading

mouse brands from manufacturers such as Microsoft

and Logitech. The MAX3244E/MAX3245E successfully

drove all serial mice tested and met their respective

current and voltage requirements. The MAX3244E/

MAX3245E dual charge pump ensures the transmitters

supply at least ±5V during worst-case conditions.

Figure 13b shows the transmitter output voltages under

increasing load current. Figure 13a shows a typical

mouse connection.
