EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE LE AVAILAB MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/ MAX3241E/MAX3246E 15kV ESD-Protected, Down to 10nA, 3.0V to 5.5V, Up to 1Mbps, True RS-232 Transceivers General Description The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/ MAX3246E +3.0V-powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications interface devices feature low power consumption, high data-rate capabilities, and enhanced electrostatic-discharge (ESD) protection. The enhanced ESD structure protects all transmitter outputs and receiver inputs to 15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge, 8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge (9kV for MAX3246E), and 15kV using the Human Body Model. The logic and receiver I/O pins of the MAX3237E are protected to the above standards, while the transmitter output pins are protected to 15kV using the Human Body Model. A proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage delivers true RS-232 performance from a +3.0V to +5.5V power supply, using an internal dual charge pump. The charge pump requires only four small 0.1F capacitors for operation from a +3.3V supply. Each device guarantees operation at data rates of 250kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels. The MAX3237E guarantees operation at 250kbps in the normal operating mode and 1Mbps in the MegaBaudTM operating mode, while maintaining RS-232compliant output levels. The MAX3222E/MAX3232E have two receivers and two transmitters. The MAX3222E features a 1A shutdown mode that reduces power consumption in battery-powered portable systems. The MAX3222E receivers remain active in shutdown mode, allowing monitoring of external devices while consuming only 1A of supply current. The Functional Diagrams MAX3222E and MAX3232E are pin, package, and functionally compatible with the industry-standard MAX242 and MAX232, respectively. The MAX3241E/MAX3246E are complete serial ports (three drivers/five receivers) designed for notebook and subnotebook computers. The MAX3237E (five drivers/ three receivers) is ideal for peripheral applications that require fast data transfer. These devices feature a shutdown mode in which all receivers remain active, while consuming only 1A (MAX3241E/MAX3246E) or 10nA (MAX3237E). The MAX3222E, MAX3232E, and MAX3241E are available in space-saving SO, SSOP, TQFN and TSSOP packages. The MAX3237E is offered in an SSOP package. The MAX3246E is offered in the ultra-small 6 x 6 UCSPTM package.

Note 2: This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal profile the device can be exposed to during board-level solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of the solder profiles recommended in the industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and convection reflow. Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed. 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 in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Slew-Rate Test Circuits Detailed Description Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/ MAX3246E'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 VCC range. The charge pump operates in discontinuous mode; if the output voltages are less than 5.5V, the charge pump is enabled, and 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 (Figure 1). RS-232 Transmitters The transmitters are inverting level translators that convert TTL/CMOS-logic levels to 5V EIA/TIA-232-compliant levels. The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/ MAX3246E transmitters guarantee a 250kbps data rate with worst-case loads of 3k in parallel with 1000pF, providing compatibility with PC-to-PC communication software (such as LapLinkTM). Transmitters can be paralleled to drive multiple receivers or mice. The MAX3222E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/MAX3246E transmitters are disabled and the outputs are forced into a high-impedance state when the device is in shutdown mode (SHDN = GND). The MAX3222E/ MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/MAX3246E permit the outputs to be driven up to 12V in shutdown. The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3241E/MAX3246E transmitter inputs do not have pullup resistors. Connect unused inputs to GND or VCC. The MAX3237E's transmitter inputs have a 400k active positive-feedback resistor, allowing unused inputs to be left unconnected. MAX3237E MegaBaud Operation For higher-speed serial communications, the MAX3237E features MegaBaud operation. In MegaBaud operating mode (MBAUD = V CC ), the MAX3237E transmitters guarantee a 1Mbps data rate with worst-case loads of 3k in parallel with 250pF for +3.0V < VCC < +4.5V. For +5V 10% operation, the MAX3237E transmitters guarantee a 1Mbps data rate into worst-case loads of 3k in parallel with 1000pF. RS-232 Receivers The receivers convert RS-232 signals to CMOS-logic output levels. The MAX3222E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/ MAX3246E receivers have inverting three-state outputs. Drive EN high to place the receiver(s) into a highimpedance state. Receivers can be either active or inactive in shutdown (Table 1). LapLink is a trademark of Traveling Software.

Detection of RS-232 Activity when the UART and Interface are Shut Down; Comparison of MAX3237E/MAX3241E (b) with Previous Transceivers (a) The complementary outputs on the MAX3237E/ MAX3241E (R_OUTB) are always active, regardless of the state of EN or SHDN. This allows the device to be used for ring indicator applications without forward biasing other devices connected to the receiver outputs. This is ideal for systems where VCC drops to zero in shutdown to accommodate peripherals such as UARTs (Figure 2). 10 Supply current falls to less than 1A in shutdown mode (SHDN = low). The MAX3237E's supply current falls to10nA (typ) when all receiver inputs are in the invalid range (-0.3V < R_IN < +0.3V). When shut down, the device's charge pumps are shut off, V+ is pulled down to VCC, V- is pulled to ground, and the transmitter outputs are disabled (high impedance). The time required to recover from shutdown is typically 100s, as shown in Figure 3. Connect SHDN to VCC if shutdown mode is not used. SHDN has no effect on R_OUT or R_OUTB (MAX3237E/MAX3241E). 15kV ESD Protection As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures are incorporated to protect against electrostatic discharges encountered during handling and assembly. The driver outputs and receiver inputs of the MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/MAX3246E have extra protection against static electricity. Maxim's engineers have developed state-of-the-art structures to protect 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. Furthermore, the MAX3237E logic I/O pins also have 15kV ESD protection. Protecting the logic I/O pins to 15kV makes the MAX3237E ideal for data cable applications.

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 4a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure 4b 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 1.5k resistor. 12 5 4 3 VOUT+ VCC = 3.0V 2 1 VOUT+ 0 -1 -2 VCC -3 -4 VOUTVOUT- -5 -6 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 LOAD CURRENT PER TRANSMITTER (mA) Figure 6a.

The MAX3222E/ MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/MAX3246E help you design equipment that meets level 4 (the highest level) of IEC 1000-4-2, without the need for additional ESDprotection 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 withstand voltage measured to IEC 1000-4-2 is generally lower than that measured using the Human Body Model. Figure 5a shows the IEC 1000-4-2 model, and Figure 5b shows the current waveform for the 8kV IEC 1000-4-2 level 4 ESD Contact Discharge test. The AirGap Discharge test 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 resistance. Its objective is to emulate the stress caused by contact that occurs with handling and assembly during manufacturing. All pins require this protection during manufacturing, not just RS-232 inputs and outputs. Therefore, after PC board assembly, the Machine Model is less relevant to I/O ports.

Mouse Driver Test Circuit 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 0.1F capacitors for 3.3V operation. For other supply voltages, see Table 2 for required capacitor values. Do not use values smaller than those listed in Table 2. 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). excessively with temperature. If in doubt, use capacitors with a larger nominal value. The capacitor's equivalent 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 0.1F VCC bypass capacitor is adequate. In applications sensitive to power-supply noise, use a capacitor of the same value as chargepump capacitor C1. Connect bypass capacitors as close to the IC as possible. Operation Down to 2.7V Transmitter outputs meet EIA/TIA-562 levels of 3.7V with supply voltages as low as 2.7V.

Each transmitter is loaded with 3k in parallel with 2500pF. The transmitter outputs display no ringing or undesirable transients as they come out of shutdown. Note that the transmitters are enabled only when the magnitude of V- exceeds approximately -3.0V. Mouse Drivability The MAX3241E is designed to power serial mice while operating from low-voltage power supplies. It has been tested with leading mouse brands from manufacturers such as Microsoft and Logitech. The MAX3241E successfully drove all serial mice tested and met their current and voltage requirements.

Figure 6b shows a typical mouse connection using the MAX3241E. High Data Rates The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/ MAX3246E maintain the RS-232 5V minimum transmitter output voltage even at high data rates. Figure 7 shows a transmitter loopback test circuit. Figure 8 shows a loopback test result at 120kbps, and Figure 9 shows the same test at 250kbps. For Figure 8, all transmitters were driven simultaneously at 120kbps into RS232 loads in parallel with 1000pF. For Figure 9, a single transmitter was driven at 250kbps, and all transmitters were loaded with an RS-232 receiver in parallel with 1000pF. The MAX3237E maintains the RS-232 5.0V minimum transmitter output voltage at data rates up to 1Mbps. Figure 10 shows a loopback test result at 1Mbps with MBAUD = VCC. For Figure 10, all transmitters were loaded with an RS-232 receiver in parallel with 250pF. Interconnection with 3V and 5V Logic The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/ MAX3246E can directly interface with various 5V logic families, including ACT and HCT CMOS. See Table 3 for more information on possible combinations of interconnections. UCSP Reliability The UCSP represents a unique packaging form factor that may not perform equally to a packaged product through traditional mechanical reliability tests. UCSP reliability is integrally linked to the user's assembly methods, circuit board material, and usage environment. The user should closely review these areas when considering use of a UCSP package. Performance through Operating Life Test and Moisture Resistance remains uncompromised as the wafer-fabrication process primarily determines it. Mechanical stress performance is a greater consideration for a UCSP package. UCSPs are attached through direct solder contact to the user's PC board, foregoing the inherent stress relief of a packaged product lead frame. Solder joint contact integrity must be considered. Table 4 shows the testing done to characterize the UCSP reliability performance. In conclusion, the UCSP is capable of performing reliably through environmental stresses as indicated by the results in the table. Additional usage data and recommendations are detailed in Application Note 1891: Wafer-Level Packaging (WLP) and Its Applications. Table 4.
