_______________General Description
The MAX562 is designed specifically for notebook and
palmtop computers that need to transfer data quickly.
It runs at data rates up to 230kbps, and has a guaran-
teed 4V/µs slew rate. This device meets the new
EIA/TIA-562 standard that guarantees compatibility with
RS-232 interfaces.
The MAX562 has low-power shutdown and keep-awake
modes. In keep-awake mode, the transmitters are dis-
abled but all receivers are active, allowing unidirection-
al communication. In shutdown mode, the entire chip is
disabled and all outputs are in a high-impedance state.
The MAX562 is available in a standard 28-pin SO pack-
age, and in a smaller footprint shrink small-outline
package (SSOP).

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX562 has three sections: the charge-pump voltage
converter, the drivers (transmitters), and the receivers.
Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The charge-pump voltage converter is used to produce a
positive and a negative supply to drive the transmitters. The
positive voltage (V+) is generated by a regulated charge
pump working as either a doubler or a tripler (depending on
the VCC level) and using capacitors C1A, C1B and C3 (see
Typical Operating Circuit
). The negative voltage (V-) derives
from V+ using a simple charge-pump inverter that employs
capacitors C2 and C4.
These charge-pump converters are regulated to give output
voltages of +5.8V and -5.2V. Having regulated supplies
generated on-chip makes the MAX562's performance insen-
sitive to variations in V CC from 2.7V to 5.25V, transmitter load-
ing changes, and operating temperature changes.
When
SHDN
is low, the charge pumps are disabled, V+ is
internally connected to VCC, and V- is internally connected to
GND.
EIA/TIA-562 Drivers
The driver output voltage is guaranteed to meet the ±3.7V
EIA/TIA-562 specification over the full range of operating
temperatures and voltages, when each transmitter is
loaded with up to 3kand operated up to 230kbps (see
Typical Operating Characteristics
). The typical driver out-
put voltage swing exceeds ±4V with a 3kload on all
transmitter outputs. The open-circuit output voltage swing
is typically from (V+ - 0.7V) to (V- + 0.7V). Output swing is
not significantly dependent on VCC since the charge
pumps are regulated.
Input thresholds are CMOS and TTL compatible. Connect
unused inputs to VCC or to GND.
When
SHDN
is low, the driver outputs are off and their leak-
age currents are less than 10µA, even if the transmitter
outputs are back-driven between -7V and +15V. Taking
SHDN
low does not disable the receivers.
When
SHDN
and EN are both low, the entire chip is
disabled and all outputs are high impedance. Power
consumption is lowest in this condition. Exiting shutdown
takes about 100µs, but depends on VCC. Figure 5 shows

the MAX562 transmitter outputs when
SHDN
rises. Two
transmitter outputs are shown going to opposite EIA/TIA-
562 levels (one transmitter input is high, the other is low).
Each transmitter is loaded with 3kin parallel with
2500pF. The transmitter outputs are well behaved, with
no ringing or undesirable transients as they come out of
shutdown.
Driving Multiple Receivers
Each transmitter is designed to drive a single receiver.
Transmitters can be paralleled to drive multiple
receivers.
EIA/TIA-562 Receivers
All 5 receivers are identical and accept EIA/TIA-562 or
EIA/TIA-232 signals. The CMOS receiver outputs swing
between VCC and GND. They are inverting, maintaining
compatibility with the driver outputs.
The guaranteed 0.8V and 2.4V receiver input thresh-
olds are significantly tighter than the ±3.0V thresholds
required by the EIA/TIA-562 specification. This allows
the receiver inputs to respond to TTL/CMOS logic lev-
els as well as EIA/TIA-562/232 levels. Also, the
MAX562's guaranteed 0.8V lower threshold ensures
that receivers shorted to ground will have a logic 1 out-
put. The 5kinput resistance to ground ensures that a
receiver with its input left open will also have a logic 1
output.
The receiver inputs have approximately 0.3V hysteresis
when
SHDN
is high. This provides clean output transi-
tions, even with slowly moving input signals with mod-
erate noise and ringing.
The receivers are active when EN is high. When EN is
low, the receiver outputs are high impedance. This
allows wire-OR connection of two EIA/TIA-562 ports (or
ports of different types) at the UART.
The receivers are always active,when EN is high, irre-
spective of
SHDN
's state. When
SHDN
is high, the
receivers have hysteresis and experience the shortest
propagation delays (typically 100ns falling, 250ns ris-
ing). When
SHDN
is low, the receivers have longer
propagation delays (typically 3µs falling, 2µs rising)
and have no hysteresis. The receiver outputs are not
valid for 50µs after
SHDN
goes low.
Shutdown and Enable Control
SHDN
and EN determine the operation of the MAX562
as shown in Table 1.
__________Applications Information
Capacitor Selection
The capacitor type is not critical for proper MAX562
operation. Any low cost ceramic capacitor (e.g., Z5U,
Y5V) is acceptable for operating at room temperature,

and X7R ceramic capacitors are recommended for
operation over the full temperature range.
Larger capacitors may be used for C2 and C4 (see
Typical Operating Circuit
) to reduce ripple on the trans-
mitter output voltages.
Power-Supply Decoupling
In applications that are sensitive to power-supply noise,
decouple VCC to ground with a capacitor similar in
value to that of the C1A and C1B charge-pump capaci-
tors. Connect the bypass capacitor as close as possi-
ble to the VCC and GND pins.
V+ and V- as Power Supplies
A small amount of power can be drawn from V+ and V-.
Excessive loads will cause V+ and V- to fall out of
regulation. When V+ or V- are loaded, check for good
regulation over the intended operating temperature
range.
