MAX3209E
General Description
The MAX3209E is a complete, dual DTE RS-232 serial
port (6 transmitters, 10 receivers) for motherboards and
desktop PCs that ensures compliance with the stringent
ESD requirements of the European Community. The
device minimizes board space and power consumption
by eliminating the need for a negative power supply; it
integrates two serial ports and a charge pump into a single 38-pin TSSOP package.
The MAX3209E features a 50µA low-power standby
mode for compliance with system power-management
requirements. During standby, while the device operates from the single +3V to +5.5V logic supply, one
receiver on each port remains active, allowing automatic
system wake-up when peripheral communications
resume.
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, making the device ideal
for use in harsh environments or mission-critical equipment. As a result of its robust charge-pump structure,
the MAX3209E guarantees mouse driveability and true
RS-232 operation at data rates up to 460kbps, ensuring
compatibility with PC-to-PC communication software
(such as LapLink™).

±15kV ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures
are incorporated on all pins to protect against electrostatic discharges (ESD) encountered during handling
and assembly. The MAX3209E driver outputs and
receiver inputs have extra protection against static
electricity found in normal operation. Maxim’s engineers
developed state-of-the-art structures to protect these
pins against ±15kV ESD, without damage. After an ESD
event, the MAX3209E continues working without latchup.
ESD protection can be tested in several ways. The
transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are characterized for protection to the following:
1) ±15kV using the Human Body Model
2) ±8kV using the Contact-Discharge Method specified
in IEC 1000-4-2 (formerly IEC 801-2)
3) ±15kV using the Air-Gap Method specified in
IEC 1000-4-2 (formerly IEC 801-2)
The Air-Gap test involves approaching the device with a
charge probe. The Contact-Discharge method connects
the probe to the device before the probe is energized.

ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a number of conditions.
Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents
test setup, methodology, and results.
Human Body Model
Figure 2a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure
2b 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 device through a
1.5kΩ resistor.
IEC 1000-4-2
Since January 1996, all equipment manufactured
and/or sold in the European community has been
required to meet the stringent IEC 1000-4-2 specification. The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing
and performance of finished equipment; it does not
specifically refer to integrated circuits. The MAX3209E
helps you design equipment that meets Level 4 (the
highest level) of IEC 1000-4-2, without additional ESDprotection components.
The main 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 ESD test model (Figure 3a), the
ESD withstand voltage measured to this standard is generally lower than that measured using the Human Body
Model. Figure 3b shows the current waveform for the
±8kV IEC 1000-4-2 Level 4 ESD Contact-Discharge test.

Machine Model
The Machine Model for ESD testing uses a 200pF storage capacitor and zero-discharge resistance. It mimics
the stress caused by handling during manufacturing
and assembly. Of course, all pins (not just RS-232
inputs and outputs) require this protection during manufacturing. Therefore, the Machine Model is less relevant to the I/O ports than are the Human Body Model
and IEC 1000-4-2.
Applications Information
R5 and R10 Active in Standby Mode
The MAX3209E is placed in standby mode when VDD is
not present, provided that VSTBY remains at +3V to
+5.5V. In standby mode, receivers R5 and R10 remain
active, consuming 100µA max while unloaded. Standby
mode allows activity to be sensed on the serial ports so
that main power can be restored by the power-management unit, as shown in Figure 4.
Layout Considerations
Use proper layout to ensure other devices on your
board are not damaged in an ESD strike. Currents as
high as 60A can instantaneously pass into ground, so
be sure to minimize the ground-lead return path to the
power supply. A separate return path to the power supply is recommend. Trace widths should be greater than
40 mils. Bypass VDD and VSTBY with 0.1µF capacitors
as close to the part as possible to ensure maximum
ESD protection.
The MAX3209E is not sensitive to power-supply
sequencing, and therefore requires no external protection diodes.

Interconnection with 3V and 5V Logic
The MAX3209E can directly interface with various 3V

See Table 1 for more information on possible combinations of interconnections.
Mouse Driveability
The MAX3209E has been specifically 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 MAX3209E successfully drove all serial
mice tested and met their respective current and voltage requirements.
