MAXIM MAX3228EEBV-T

19-2139; Rev 2; 10/08
±15kV ESD-Protected +2.5V to +5.5V
RS-232 Transceivers in UCSP and WLP
The MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE are +2.5V to
+5.5V powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces with low power requirements, high datarate capabilities, and enhanced electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protection, in a chip-scale package (UCSP™)
and WLP Package. All transmitter outputs and receiver
inputs are protected to ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 AirGap Discharge, ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact
Discharge, and ±15kV using the Human Body Model.
The MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE achieve a 1µA
supply current with Maxim’s AutoShutdown™ feature.
They save power without changes to existing BIOS or
operating systems by entering low-power shutdown
mode when the RS-232 cable is disconnected, or when
the transmitters of the connected peripherals are off.
The transceivers have a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage, delivering RS-232 compliant performance from a +3.1V to +5.5V supply, and RS-232
compatible performance with a supply voltage as low
as +2.5V. The dual charge pump requires only four
small 0.1µF capacitors for operation from a +3.0V supply. Each device is guaranteed to run at data rates of
250kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels.
The MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE offer a separate
power-supply input for the logic interface, allowing configurable logic levels on the receiver outputs and transmitter inputs. Operating over a +1.65V to VCC range, VL
provides the MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE compatibility with multiple logic families.
The MAX3229E/AE contains one receiver and one
transmitter. The MAX3228E/AE contains two receivers
and two transmitters. The MAX3228E/AE and
MAX3229E/AE are available in tiny chip-scale and WLP
packaging and are specified across the extended
industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Note 1: V+ and V- can have maximum magnitudes of 7V, but their absolute difference cannot exceed 13V.
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.

Detailed Description
Dual-Mode Regulated Charge-Pump
Voltage Converter
The MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE internal power
supply consists of a dual-mode regulated charge
pump. For supply voltages above +3.7V, the charge
pump will generate +5.5V at V+ and -5.5V at V-. The
charge pumps operate in a discontinuous mode. If the
output voltages are less than ±5.5V, the charge pumps
are enabled, if the output voltages exceed ±5.5V, the
charge pumps are disabled.
For supply voltages below +2.85V, the charge pump
will generate +4.0V at V+ and -4.0V at V-. The charge
pumps operate in a discontinuous mode. If the output
voltages are less than ±4.0V, the charge pumps are
enabled, if the output voltages exceed ±4.0V, the
charge pumps are disabled.
The MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE include a
switchover circuit between these two modes that have
approximately 400mV of hysteresis around the
switchover point. The hysteresis is shown in Figure 1.
This large hysteresis eliminates mode changes due to
power-supply bounce.
For example, a three-cell NiMh battery system starts at
VCC = +3.6V, and the charge pump will generate an
output voltage of ±5.5V. As the battery discharges, the
VCC
4V
0
V+
6V
Each charge pump requires a flying capacitor (C1, C2)
and a reservoir capacitor (C3, C4) to generate the V+
and V- supply voltages.

Figure 2b. MAX322_E with Transmitters Enabled Using
AutoShutdown
MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE maintain the outputs
in regulation until the battery voltage drops below +3.1V.
Then the output regulation points change to ±4.0V
When VCC is rising, the charge pump will generate an
output voltage of ±4.0V, while VCC is between +2.5V
and +3.5V. When VCC rises above the switchover voltage of +3.5V, the charge pump switches modes to
generate an output of ±5.5V.
Table 1 shows different supply schemes and their operating voltage ranges.
The transmitter inputs do not have pullup resistors.
Connect unused inputs to GND or VL.
RS-232 Transmitters
The transmitters are inverting level translators that convert CMOS-logic levels to RS-232 levels. The
MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE will automatically
reduce the RS-232 compliant levels (±5.5V) to RS-232
compatible levels (±4.0V) when V CC falls below
approximately +3.1V. The reduced levels also reduce
supply current requirements, extending battery life.
Built-in hysteresis of approximately 400mV for V CC
ensures that the RS-232 output levels do not change if
VCC is noisy or has a sudden current draw causing the
supply voltage to drop slightly. The outputs will return to
RS-232 compliant levels (±5.5V) when VCC rises above
approximately +3.5V.
The MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE transmitters
guarantee a 250kbps data rate with worst-case loads of
3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF.
When FORCEOFF is driven to ground, the transmitters
and receivers are disabled and the outputs become
high impedance. When the AutoShutdown circuitry
senses that all receiver and transmitter inputs are inactive for more than 30µs, the transmitters are disabled
and the outputs go to a high-impedance state. When
the power is off, the MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE
permit the transmitter outputs to be driven up to ±12V.
RS-232 Receivers
The MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE receivers convert RS-232 signals to logic output levels. All receivers
have inverting three-state outputs and can be active or
inactive. In shutdown (FORCEOFF = low) or in
AutoShutdown, the MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE
receivers are in a high-impedance state (Table 3).
The MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE feature an
INVALID output that is enabled low when no valid
RS-232 signal levels have been detected on any
receiver inputs. INVALID is functional in any mode
(Figures 2 and 3).

AutoShutdown
The MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE achieve a 1µA
supply current with Maxim’s AutoShutdown feature,
which operates when FORCEON is low and FORCEOFF
is high. When these devices sense no valid signal levels on all receiver inputs for 30µs, the on-board charge
pump and drivers are shut off, reducing VCC supply
current to 1µA. This occurs if the RS-232 cable is disconnected or the connected peripheral transmitters are
turned off. The device turns on again when a valid level
is applied to any RS-232 receiver input. As a result, the
system saves power without changes to the existing
BIOS or operating system.

Table 3 and Figure 2c summarize the MAX3228E/AE
and MAX3229E/AE operating modes. FORCEON and
FORCEOFF override AutoShutdown. When neither control is asserted, the IC selects between these states
automatically, based on receiver input levels. Figures
2a, 2b, and 3a depict valid and invalid RS-232 receiver
levels. Figures 3a and 3b show the input levels and timing diagram for AutoShutdown operation.
A system with AutoShutdown may need time to wake
up. Figure 4 shows a circuit that forces the transmitters
on for 100ms, allowing enough time for the other
system to realize that the MAX3228E/AE and
MAX3229E/AE are active. If the other system transmits
valid RS-232 signals within that time, the RS-232 ports
on both systems remain enabled.
When shut down, the device’s charge pumps are off,
V+ is pulled to VCC, V- is pulled to ground, and the
transmitter outputs are high-impedance. The time
required to exit shutdown is typically 100µs (Figure 3b).

In case FORCEON and FORCEOFF are inaccessible,
these pins have 60kΩ (typ) pullup resistors connected to
VL (Table 2). Therefore, if FORCEON and FORCEOFF are
not connected, the MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE
will always be active. Pulling these pins to ground will
draw current from the VL supply. This current can be calculated from the voltage supplied at VL and the 60kΩ

MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE feature a separate
logic supply input (VL) that sets VOH for the receiver
and INVALID outputs. The transmitter inputs (T_IN),
FORCEON and FORCEOFF, are also referred to VL.
This feature allows maximum flexibility in interfacing to
different systems and logic levels. Connect VL to the
system’s logic supply voltage (+1.65V to +5.5V), and
bypass it with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND. If the logic
supply is the same as VCC, connect VL to VCC. Always
enable VCC before enabling the VL supply. VCC must
be greater than or equal to the VL supply.
Software-Controlled Shutdown
If direct software control is desired, connect FORCEOFF and FORCEON together to disable AutoShutdown.
The microcontroller then drives FORCEOFF and
FORCEON like a SHDN input, INVALID can be used to
alert the microcontroller to indicate serial data activity.

±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
MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE 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.
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 the IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap method.

Human Body Model
Figure 5a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure 5b
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 MAX3228E/AE and
MAX3229E/AE help you design equipment that meets
Level 4 (the highest level) of IED 1000-4-2, without the
need for additional ESD-protection components.
The major difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC 1000-4-2 is a 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 6a shows the IEC 1000-4-2 model, and Figure 6b
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
Capacitor Selection
The capacitor type used for C1–C4 is not critical for
proper operation; either polarized or non polarized
capacitors may be used. However, ceramic chip
capacitors with an X7R or X5R dielectric work best. The
charge pump requires 0.1µF capacitors for 3.3V operation. For other supply voltages, refer to Table 4 for
required capacitor values. Do not use values smaller
than those listed in Table 4. 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, and C4
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 capacitors with a larger nominal value. The capacitor’s equivalent series resistance (ESR) usually rises at low
temperatures and influences the amount of ripple on V+
and V-.
Power-Supply Decoupling
I
100%
In most circumstances, a 0.1µF VCC bypass capacitor
is adequate. In applications that are sensitive to powersupply noise, use a capacitor of the same value as the
charge-pump capacitor C1. Connect bypass capacitors as close to the IC as possible.

Figure 7 shows a transmitter output when exiting shutdown mode. The transmitter is loaded with 3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF. The transmitter output displays no
ringing or undesirable transients as it comes out of
shutdown, and is enabled only when the magnitude of
V- exceeds approximately -3V.
For Figure 9, the transmitter was driven at 120kbps into
an RS-232 load in parallel with 1000pF. For Figure 10, a
single transmitter was driven at 250kbps, and loaded
with an RS-232 receiver in parallel with 1000pF.
High Data Rates
The MAX3228E/AE and MAX3229E/AE maintain the RS232 ±5.0V minimum transmitter output voltage even at
high data rates. Figure 8 shows a transmitter loopback
test circuit. Figure 9 shows a loopback test result at

UCSP Reliability
The UCSP represents a unique packaging form factor
that may not perform equally to a packaged product
through traditional mechanical reliability tests. CSP 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 CSP package. Performance through Operating Life
Test and Moisture Resistance remains uncompromised
as it is primarily determined by the wafer-fabrication
process.
Mechanical stress performance is a greater consideration for a CSP package. CSPs 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 2 shows the testing done to characterize the CSP
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 the UCSP
application note, which can be found on Maxim’s website at www.maxim-ic.com.
