Maxim MAX3110ECNI Spi/microwire-compatible uart and â±15kv esdprotected rs-232 transceivers with internal capacitor Datasheet

19-1494; Rev 0; 7/99
SPI/MICROWIRE-Compatible UART and ±15kV ESDProtected RS-232 Transceivers with Internal Capacitors
A proprietary low-dropout output stage enables the
2-driver/2-receiver interface to deliver true RS-232 performance down to VCC = +3V (+4.5V for MAX3110E)
while consuming only 600µA. The receivers remain
active in a hardware/software-invoked shutdown, allowing external devices to be monitored while consuming
only 10µA. Each device is guaranteed to operate at up
to 230kbps while maintaining true EIA/TIA-232 output
voltage levels.
The MAX3110E/MAX3111E’s UART includes a crystal
oscillator and baud-rate generator with software-programmable divider ratios for all common baud rates
from 300baud to 230kbaud. The UART features an 8word-deep receive FIFO that minimizes processor overhead and provides a flexible interrupt with four
maskable sources. Two control lines (one input and
one output) are included for hardware handshaking.
The UART and RS-232 functions can be used together
or independently since the two functions share only
supply and ground connections (the MAX3110E/
MAX3111E are hardware- and software-compatible
with the MAX3100 and MAX3222E).

General Description
The MAX3110E/MAX3111E combine a full-featured universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) with
±15kV ESD-protected RS-232 transceivers and integrated charge-pump capacitors into a single 28-pin
package for use in space-, cost-, and power-constrained applications. The MAX3110E/MAX3111E also
feature an SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™-compatible
serial interface to save additional board space and
microcontroller (µC) I/O pins.

Detailed Description
The MAX3110E/MAX3111E contain an SPI/QSPI/MICROWIREcompatible UART and an RS-232 transceiver with two
drivers and two receivers. The UART is compatible with
SPI and QSPI for CPOL = 0 and CPHA = 0. The UART
supports data rates up to 230kbaud for standard UART
bit streams as well as IrDA and includes an 8-word
receive FIFO. Also included is a 9-bit-address recognition interrupt.
The RS-232 transceiver has electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protection on the transmitter outputs and the
receiver inputs. The internal charge-pump capacitors
minimize the number of external components required.
The RS-232 transceivers meet EIA/TIA-232 specifica10
tions for VCC down to the minimum supply voltage and
are guaranteed to operate for data rates up to 250kbps.
The UART and RS-232 functions operate as one device
or independently since the two functions share only
supply and ground connections.
UART
The universal asynchronous receiver transmitter
(UART) interfaces the SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible synchronous serial data from a microprocessor (µP)
to asynchronous, serial-data communication ports (RS232, IrDA). Figure 1 shows the MAX3110E/MAX3111E
functional diagram. Included in the UART function is an
SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE interface, a baud-rate generator,
and an interrupt generator.

edge. Figure 3 shows the detailed serial timing specifications for the synchronous SPI port.
Only 16-bit words are expected. If CS goes high in the
middle of a transmission (any time before the 16th bit),
the sequence is aborted (i.e., data does not get written
to individual registers). Most operations, such as the
clearing of internal registers, are executed only on CS’s
rising edge. Every time CS goes low, a new 16-bit
stream is expected. An example of using the Write
Configuration Register is shown in Figure 4.
Table 1 describes the bits located in the Write Configuration, Read Configuration, Write Data, and Read
Data Registers. This table also describes whether the
bit is a read or a write bit and the power-on reset state
(POR) of the bits. Figure 5 shows an example of parity
and word-length control.

MAX3110E/MAX3111E
SPI Interface
The MAX3110E/MAX3111E are compatible with SPI,
QSPI (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0), and MICROWIRE serialinterface standards (Figure 2). The MAX3110E/
MAX3111E have a unique full-duplex-only architecture
that expects a 16-bit word for DIN and simultaneously
produces a 16-bit word for DOUT regardless of which
read/write register is used. The DIN stream is monitored for its first two bits to tell the UART the type of
data transfer being executed (see the Write
Configuration Register, Read Configuration Register,
Write Data Register, and Read Data Register sections).
DIN (MOSI) is latched on SCLK’s rising edge. DOUT
(MISO) should be read into the µP on SCLK’s rising
edge. The first bit (bit 15) of DOUT transitions on CS’s
falling edge, and bits 14–0 transition on SCLK’s falling

0
Bit to set the word length of the transmitted or received data. L = 0 results in 8-bit words
(9-bit words if PE = 1) (see Figure 5). L = 1 results in 7-bit words (8-bit words if PE = 1).
L
read
0
Reads the value of the L bit.
Pt
write
X
Transmit-Parity Bit. This bit is treated as an extra bit that is transmitted if PE = 1. In 9-bit networks, the MAX3110E/MAX3111E do not calculate parity. If PE = 0, then this bit (Pt) is ignored
in transmit mode (see the 9-Bit Networks section).
Pr

X
Receive-Parity Bit. This bit is the extra bit received if PE = 1. Therefore, PE = 1 results in 9-bit
transmissions (L = 0). If PE = 0, then Pr is set to 0. Pr is stored in the FIFO with the receive data
(see the 9-Bit Networks section).
write
0
Parity-Enable Bit. Appends the Pt bit to the transmitted data when PE = 1, and sends the Pt bit
as written. No parity bit is transmitted when PE = 0. With PE = 1, an extra bit is expected to be
received. This data is put into the Pr register. Pr = 0 when PE = 0. The MAX3110E/MAX3111E
do not calculate parity.

POR
STATE
DESCRIPTION
0
Receiver-Activity/Framing-Error Bit. In shutdown mode, this is the RA bit. In normal operation,
this is the FE bit. In shutdown mode, a transition on RX sets RA = 1. In normal mode, a framing error sets FE = 1. A framing error occurs if a zero is received when the first stop bit is
expected. FE is set when a framing error occurs, and cleared upon receipt of the next properly framed character independent of the FIFO being enabled. When the device wakes up, it is
likely that a framing error will occur. This error is cleared with a Write Configuration. The FE bit
is not cleared on a Read Data operation. When an FE is encountered, the UART resets itself
to the state where it is looking for a start bit.
0
Software-Shutdown Bit. Enter software shutdown with a Write Configuration where SHDNi = 1.
Software shutdown takes effect after CS goes high, and causes the oscillator to stop as soon
as the transmitter becomes idle. Software shutdown also clears R, T, RA/FE, D0r–D7r,
D0t–D7t, Pr, Pt, and all data in the receive FIFO. RTS and CTS can be read and updated
while in shutdown. Exit software shutdown with a Write Configuration where SHDNi = 0. The
oscillator restarts typically within 50ms of CS going high. RTS and CTS are unaffected. Refer
to the Pin Description for hardware shutdown (SHDN input).
SHDNo
read
0
Shutdown Read-Back Bit. The Read Configuration register outputs SHDNo = 1 when the
UART is in shutdown. Note that this bit is not sent until the current byte in the transmitter is
sent (T = 1). This tells the processor when it may shut down the RS-485/RS-422 driver. This bit
is also set immediately when the device is shut down through the SHDN pin.
ST
write
0
Transmit-Stop Bit. One stop bit will be transmitted when ST = 0. Two stop bits will be transmitted when ST = 1. The receiver only requires one stop bit.
ST
read
0
Reads the value of the ST bit.
T
read
1
Transmit-Buffer-Empty Flag. T = 1 means that the transmit buffer is empty and ready to
accept another data word.
TE
write
0
Transmit-Enable Bit. If TE = 1, then only the RTS pin is updated on CS’s rising edge. The contents of RTS, Pt, and D0t–D7t transmit on CS’s rising edge when TE = 0.
TM
write
0
Mask for T Bit. IRQ is asserted if TM = 1 and T = 1 (Table 7).
TM
read
0
Reads the value of the TM bit (Table 7).
Notice to High-Level Programmers: The UART follows
the SPI convention of providing a bidirectional data path
for writes and reads. Whenever the data is written, data
is also read back. This speeds operation over the SPI
bus, and the UART needs this speed advantage when
operating at high baud rates. In most high-level languages, such as C, there are commands for writing and
reading stream I/O devices such as the console or serial
port. In C specifically, there is a “PUTCHAR” command
that transmits a character and a “GETCHAR” command
that receives a character. If programmers were to write
direct write and read commands in C with no underlying
driver code, they would notice that a PUTCHAR command is really a PUTGETCHAR command. These C
commands assume some form of BIOS-level support for
these commands. The proper way to implement these
commands is to write driver code, usually in the form of
an assembly-language interrupt-service routine and a
callable routine used by high-level routines. This driver
14
handles the interrupts and manages the receive and
transmit buffers for the MAX3110E/MAX3111E. When a
PUTCHAR executes, this driver is called and it safely
buffers any characters received when the current
character is transmitted. When a GETCHAR executes, it
checks its own receive buffer before getting data from
the UART. See the C-language Outline of a MAX3110E/
MAX3111E Software Driver in Listing 1, which appears at
the end of this data sheet.
Listing 1 is a C-language outline of an interrupt-driven
software driver that interfaces to a MAX3110E/
MAX3111E, providing an intermediate layer between
the bit-manipulation subroutine and the familiar
PUTCHAR/GETCHAR subroutines.
The user must supply code for managing the transmit
and receive queues as well as the low-level hardware
interface itself. The interrupt control hardware must be
initialized before this driver is called.
______________________________________________________________________________________
SPI/MICROWIRE-Compatible UART and ±15kV ESDProtected RS-232 Transceivers with Internal Capacitors
tion mode. Bits 13–1 of the DIN word should be zeros,
and bit 0 is the test bit to put the UART in test mode
(see the Test Mode section). Table 3 shows the bit
assignment for the read configuration register.
Test Mode
The device enters a test mode if bit 0 of the DIN configuration word equals one when doing a read configuration. In this mode, if CS = 0, the RTS pin transmits a
clock that is 16-times the baud rate. The TX pin is low
as long as CS remains low while in test mode. Table 3
shows the bit assignment for the read configuration
register.
Using the write configuration register clears the receive
FIFO and the R, T, RA/FE, D0r–D7r, D0t–D7t, Pr, and Pt
registers. RTS and CTS remain unchanged. The new
configuration is valid on CS’s rising edge if the transmit
buffer is empty (T = 1) and transmission is over. If the
latest transmission has not been completed (T = 0), the
registers are updated when the transmission is over.
The write configuration register bits (FEN, SHDNi, IR,
ST, PE, L, B3–B0) take effect after the current transmission is over. The mask bits (TM, RM, PM, RAM) take
effect immediately after SCLK’s 16th rising edge.
Bits 15 and 14 of the DOUT write configuration (R and
T) are sent out of the MAX3110E/MAX3111E along with
14 trailing zeros. The use of the R and T bits is optional,
but ignore the 14 trailing zeros.
Write Data Register (D15, D14 = 1, 0)
Use the write data register for transmitting to the TXbuffer and receiving from the RX buffer (and RX FIFO
when enabled). When using this register, the DIN and
DOUT write data words are used simultaneously, and
bits 13–11 for both the DIN and DOUT write data words
are meaningless zeros. The DIN write data word contains the data that is being transmitted, and the DOUT
write data word contains the data that is being received
from the RX FIFO. Table 4 shows the bit assignment for
the write data mode. To change the RTS pin’s output
state without transmitting data, set the TE bit high. If
performing a write data operation, the R bit will clear on
the falling edge of SCLK’s 16th clock pulse if no new
data is available.
Warning! The UART requires stable crystal oscillator
operation before configuration (typically ~25ms after
power-up). Upon power-up, compare the write configuration bits with the read configuration bits in a software
loop until both match. This ensures that the oscillator is
stable and that the UART is configured correctly.
Read Data Register (D15, D14 = 0, 0)
Use the read data register for receiving data from the
RX FIFO. When using this register, bits 15 and 14 of
DIN are both required to be 0. Bits 13–0 of the DIN
read-data word should be zeros. Table 5 shows the bit
assignments for the read data mode. Reading data
clears the R bit and interrupt IRQ. If performing a read
data operation, the R bit will clear on the falling edge of
SCLKs 16th clock pulse if no new data is available.
Read Configuration Mode (D15, D14 = 0, 1)
The read configuration mode is used to read back the
last configuration written to the UART. In this mode, bits
15 and 14 of the DIN configuration word are required to
be 0 and 1, respectively, to enable the read configura-
______________________________________________________________________________________
15
MAX3110E/MAX3111E
Write Configuration Register (D15, D14 = 1, 1)
Configure the UART by writing a 16-bit word to the write
configuration register, which programs the baud rate,
data word length, parity enable, and enable of the 8word receive FIFO. In this mode, bits 15 and 14 of the
DIN configuration word are both required to be 1 in
order to enable the write configuration mode. Bits 13–0
of the DIN configuration word set the configuration of
the UART. Table 2 shows the bit assignment for the
write configuration register. The write configuration register allows selection between normal UART timing and
IrDA timing, provides shutdown control, and contains
four interrupt mask bits.

Baud-Rate Generator
The baud-rate generator determines the rate at which
the transmitter and receiver operate. Bits B3–B0 in the
write configuration register determine the baud-rate
divisor (BRD), which divides the X1 oscillator frequency. The on-board oscillator operates with either a
1.8432MHz or a 3.6864MHz crystal or is driven at X1
with a 45% to 55% duty-cycle square wave. Table 6
shows baud-rate divisors for given input codes as well
as the baud rate for 1.8432MHz and 3.684MHz crystals.
The generator’s clock is 16-times the baud rate.
Interrupt Sources and Masks
Using the Read Data or Write Data register clears the
interrupt IRQ, assuming the conditions that initiated the
interrupt no longer exist. Table 7 gives the details for
each interrupt source. Figure 6 shows the functional
diagram for the interrupt sources and mask blocks.
Following are two examples of setting up an IRQ for the
MAX3110E/MAX3111E:
Example 1. Set up only the transmit buffer-empty interrupt. Send the 16-bit word below into DIN of the
MAX3110E/MAX3111E using the Write Configuration
register. This 16-bit word configures the MAX3110E/
MAX3111E for 9600bps, 8-bit words, no parity, and one
stop bit with a 1.8432MHz crystal.

Example 2. Set up only the data-available (or databeing-read) interrupt.
Send the 16-bit word below into DIN of the

Q
Receive FIFO
The MAX3110E/MAX3111E contain an 8-word receive
FIFO for data received by the UART to minimize
processor overhead. Using the UART-software shutdown clears the receive FIFO. Upon power-up, the
receive FIFO is enabled. To disable the receive FIFO,
set the FEN bit high when writing to the Write
Configuration register. To check whether the FIFO is

MEANING

DESCRIPTION
Pr
PM
Received parity bit = 1
The Pr bit reflects the value in the word currently in the receive-buffer register
(oldest data available). The Pr bit is set when parity is enabled (PE = 1) and the
received parity bit is 1. The Pr bit is cleared either when parity is not enabled (PE
= 0) or when parity is enabled and the received bit is 0. An interrupt is issued
based on the oldest Pr value in the receiver FIFO. The oldest Pr value is the next
value read by a Read Data operation.
R
RM
Data available
The R bit is set when new data is available to be read or when data is being read
from the receive register/FIFO. FIFO is cleared when all data has been read. An
interrupt is asserted as long as R = 1 and RM = 1.
RA/FE
T
RAM
TM
Transition on RX when
in shutdown; framing
error when not in
shutdown
Transmit buffer is
empty
This is the RA (RX-transition) bit in shutdown, and the framing-error (FE) bit in
operating mode. RA is set if there has been a transition on RX since entering
shutdown. RA is cleared when the MAX3110E/MAX3111E exits shutdown. IRQ is
asserted when RA is set and RAM = 1.
FE is determined solely by the currently received data and is not stored in FIFO.
The FE bit is set if a zero is received when the first stop bit is expected. FE is
cleared upon receipt of the next properly framed character. IRQ is asserted
when FE is set and RAM = 1.
The T bit is set when the transmit buffer is ready to accept data. IRQ is asserted
low if TM = 1 and the transmit buffer becomes empty. This source is cleared on
the rising edge of SCLK’s 16th clock pulse when using a Read Data or Write
Data operation. CS’s rising edge during a Read Data operation. Although the
interrupt is cleared, poll T to determine transmit-buffer status.
UART Software Shutdown
When in software shutdown, the UART’s oscillator turns
off to reduce power dissipation. The UART enters shutdown by a software command (SHDNi bit = 1). The
software shutdown is entered upon completing the
transmission of the data in both the Transmit register
and the Transmit-Buffer register. The SHDNo bit is set
when the UART enters shutdown. The microcontroller
(µC) monitors the SHDNo bit to determine when the
UART is shut down and then shuts down the
RS-232 transceivers.
Software shutdown clears the receive FIFO, R, RA/FE,
D0r–D7r, Pr, and Pt registers and sets the T bit high.
Configuration bits (RM, TM, PM, RAM, IR, ST, PE, L,
B0–B3, and RTS) are programmable when SHDNo = 1
and CTS is also readable. Although RA is reset upon
entering shutdown, it goes high when any transitions
are detected on the RX pin. This allows the UART to
monitor activity on the receiver when in shutdown.
When taking the part out of software shutdown (SHDNi
= 0), the oscillator turns on when CS goes high. After
CS goes high, the oscillator typically takes about 25ms
to stabilize. Configure the UART after the oscillator has
stabilized by using a write configuration that clears all
registers but RTS and CTS. If a framing error occurs,
you may have not waited long enough for the oscillator
to stabilize.
The hardware shutdown affects only the RS-232 transceiver, and the software shutdown affects only the
UART. See the RS-232 Transceiver Hardware
Shutdown section.
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The 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), using a +3.3V supply (MAX3111E) or a +5V supply (MAX3110E). 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 includes internal flying capacitors and reservoir
capacitors to generate the V+ and V- supplies.

MAX3110E/MAX3111E
SPI/MICROWIRE-Compatible UART and ±15kV ESDProtected RS-232 Transceivers with Internal Capacitors
RS-232 Transmitters
The transmitters are inverting-level translators that convert CMOS-logic levels to ±5.0V EIA/TIA-232 levels. The
transmitters guarantee a 230kbps data rate with worstcase loads of 3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF, providing
compatibility with PC-to-PC communication software
(such as LapLink™). Transmitters can be paralleled
because the outputs are forced into a high-impedance
state when the device is in hardware shutdown
(SHDN = GND). The MAX3110E/MAX3111E permit the
outputs to be driven up to ±12V while in shutdown.
The transmitter inputs do not have pull-up resistors.
Connect unused inputs to GND or VCC.

RS-232 Receivers
The receivers convert RS-232 signals to CMOS-logic
output levels. The MAX3110E/MAX3111E receivers
have inverting outputs and are always active, even
when the part is in hardware (or software) shutdown.
RS-232 Transceiver Hardware Shutdown
Supply current falls to ICCSHDN(H) when in hardware
shutdown mode (SHDN = low). When shut down, the
device’s charge pumps are turned off, V+ is pulled
down to VCC, V- is pulled to ground, and the transmitter
outputs are disabled (high impedance). The time
required to exit shutdown is typically 100µs, as shown
in Figure 7. Connect SHDN to V CC if the shutdown
mode is not used. The UART software shutdown does
not affect the RS-232 transceiver.
±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
MAX3110E/MAX3111E 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, the
MAX3110E/MAX3111E keep working without latchup,
whereas competing RS-232 products can latch and
must be powered down to remove latchup.
ESD protection is tested in various ways; the transmitter
outputs and receiver inputs devices are characterized
for protection to the following limits:
• ±15kV using the Human Body Model
• ±8kV using the Contact-Discharge Method specified
in IEC 1000-4-2
• ±15kV using the Air-Gap Method specified in IEC
1000-4-2

ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions.
Contact Maxim’s Quality Assurance (QA) group for a
reliability report that documents test setup, methodology, and results.
Human Body Model
Figure 8a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure
8b 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 1.5kΩ resistor.
IEC 1000-4-2
The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
performance of finished equipment; it does not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The MAX3110E/
MAX3111E help you design equipment that meets
Level 4 (the highest level) of IEC 1000-4-2 without the
need for additional ESD-protection components.
The major difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC1000-4-2 is higher peak
current in IEC 1000-4-2, because series resistance is
lower in the IEC 1000-4-2 model. Hence, the ESD that
withstands voltage measured to IEC 1000-4-2 is generally lower than that measured using the Human Body
Model. Figure 9a shows the IEC 1000-4-2 model, and
Figure 9b shows the current waveform for the ±8kV
IEC 1000-4-2 Level 4 ESD contact-discharge test.

The air-gap 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. Of course, 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.
Applications Information
Crystals, Oscillators, and
Ceramic Resonators
The MAX3110E/MAX3111E include an oscillator circuit
derived from an external crystal oscillator for baud-rate
generation. For standard baud rates, use a 1.8432MHz
or 3.6864MHz crystal. The 1.8432MHz crystal results
in lower operating current; however, the 3.6864MHz
crystal may be more readily available in surface
mount.
______________________________________________________________________________________
23
MAX3110E/MAX3111E
SPI/MICROWIRE-Compatible UART and ±15kV ESDProtected RS-232 Transceivers with Internal Capacitors
Ceramic resonators are low-cost alternatives to crystals
and operate similarly, although the Q and accuracy are
lower. Some ceramic resonators are available with integral load capacitors, which can further reduce cost. The
tradeoff between crystals and ceramic resonators is in
initial-frequency accuracy and temperature drift. Keep
the total error in the baud-rate generator below 1% for
reliable operation with other systems. This is accomplished easily with a crystal and, in most cases, is
achieved with ceramic resonators. Table 8 lists different
types of crystals and resonators and their suppliers.
The MAX3110E/MAX3111E’s oscillator supports parallel-resonant mode crystals and ceramic resonators or
can be driven from an external clock source. Internally,
the oscillator consists of an inverting amplifier with its
input, X1, tied to its output, X2, by a bias network that
self-biases the inverter at approximately V CC/2. The
external feedback circuit, usually a crystal from X2 to X1,
provides 180° of phase shift, causing the circuit to oscillate. As shown in the Standard Application Circuit, the
crystal or resonator is connected between X1 and X2,
with the load capacitance for the crystal being the
series combination of C1 and C2. For example, for a
1.8432MHz crystal with a specified load capacitance of
11pF, use capacitors of 22pF on either side of the crystal
to ground. Series-resonant mode crystals have a slight
frequency error, typically oscillating 0.03% higher than
specified series-resonant frequency when operated in
parallel mode.
Note: It is very important to keep crystal, resonator, and
load-capacitor leads and traces as short and direct as
possible. Make the X1 and X2 trace lengths and ground
tracks short, with no intervening traces. This helps minimize parasitic capacitance and noise pickup in the
oscillator, and reduces EMI. Minimize capacitive loading on X2 to minimize supply current. The MAX3110E/
MAX3111E’s X1 input can be driven directly by an
external CMOS clock source. The trip level is approximately equal to VCC/2. Make no connection to X2 in this
mode. If a TTL or non-CMOS clock source is used, ACcouple it with a 10nF capacitor to X1. A 2V peak-topeak swing on the input is required for reliable
operation.
RS-232 Transmitter Outputs
Exiting Shutdown
Figure 7 shows two RS-232 transmitter outputs exiting
shutdown mode. As they become active, the two transmitter outputs are shown going to opposite RS-232 levels (one transmitter input is high; the other is low). Each
transmitter is loaded with 3kΩ 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 3V.

the same test at 250kbps. For Figure 11, both transmitters are driven simultaneously at 120kbps into an RS232 receiver in parallel with 1000pF. For Figure 12, a
single transmitter is driven at 250kbps, and both transmitters are loaded with an RS-232 receiver in parallel
with 1000pF.

SPI/MICROWIRE-Compatible UART and ±15kV ESDProtected RS-232 Transceivers with Internal Capacitors
An IR and RS-232 typical operating circuit is shown in
Figure 14. Since the MAX3110E/MAX3111E’s internal
UART has IrDA capability, a standard IR transceiver
(the MAX3120) can be used to provide the IrDA communication. The two-driver/two-receiver RS-232 transceiver can be used with a software UART to provide
RS-232 communication.

9-Bit Networks
The MAX3110E/MAX3111E support a common multidrop communication technique referred to as 9-bit
mode. In this mode, the parity bit is set to indicate a
message that contains a header with a destination
address. The MAX3110E/MAX3111E’s parity mask can
be set to generate interrupts for this condition.
Operating a network in this mode reduces the processing overhead of all nodes by enabling the slave controllers to ignore most message traffic. This relieves the
remote processor to handle more useful tasks.

SIR IrDA Mode
The MAX3110E/MAX3111E’s IrDA mode can be used
to communicate with other IrDA SIR-compatible
devices or to reduce power consumption in opto-isolated applications.
In IrDA mode, a bit period is shortened to 3/16 of a
baud period (1.61µs at 115,200 baud). A data zero is
transmitted as a pulse of light (TX pin = logic low, RX
pin = logic high), as shown in Figure 15.
In receive mode, the RX signal’s sampling is done
halfway into the transmission of a high level. The sampling is done once (instead of three times, as in normal
mode). The MAX3110E/MAX3111E ignore pulses shorter than approximately 1/16 of the baud period. The
IrDA device that is communicating with the MAX3110E/
MAX3111E must be set to transmit pulses at 3/16 of the
baud period. For compatibility with other IrDA devices,
set the format to 8-bit data, one stop, no parity. For
more detailed information on SIR IrDA mode, refer to
the MAX3100 data sheet.

The parity/9th-bit interrupt is controlled only by the data
in the receive register and is not affected by data in the
FIFO, so the most effective use of the parity/9th-bit
interrupt is with FIFO disabled. With the FIFO disabled,
received non-address words can be ignored and not
even read from the UART. For more detailed information on 9-bit mode, refer to the MAX3100 data sheet.

Layout and Power-Supply
_____________________Considerations
The MAX3110E/MAX3111E require basic layout techniques and fundamental power supply considerations.
The minimum requirements include: (1) placing a 1µF
ceramic bypass capacitor as close as possible to VCC,
preferably right next to the VCC lead or on the opposite
side of the PCB directly below the VCC lead; (2) using
an internal ground plane within the PCB, returning all
circuit grounds to this ground plane, or using a ‘star’
ground technique where all circuit grounds are
returned to a common ground point at the ‘GND’ lead
of the IC; 3) ensuring that the power source to the IC
has a low inductive path and is high-frequency
bypassed to absorb ESD events with significant
changes in the supply voltage.

MAX3110E/MAX3111E
In 9-bit mode, the MAX3110E/MAX3111E is set up with
eight bits plus parity. The parity bit in all normal messages is clear but is set in an address-type message.
The MAX3110E/MAX3111E’s parity-interrupt mask generates an interrupt on high parity when enabled. When
the master sends an address message with the parity
bit set, all MAX3110E/MAX3111E nodes issue an interrupt. All nodes then retrieve the received byte to compare to their assigned address. Once addressed, the
node continues to process each received byte. If the
node was not addressed, it ignores all message traffic
until a new address is sent out by the master.

This is a C-language outline of an interrupt-driven software driver that interfaces
to a MAX3110E/MAX3111E, providing an intermediate layer between the bit-manipulation
subroutine and the familiar PutChar / GetChar subroutines.
User must supply code for managing the transmit and receive queues, as well as the
low-level hardware interface itself. The interrupt control hardware must be
initialized before this driver is called.
char is an 8 bit character.
int is a 16 bit unsigned integer.
& is the bitwise Boolean AND operator.
| is the bitwise Boolean OR operator.
