MAX3172/MAX3174
General Description
The MAX3172/MAX3174 contain five software-selectable multiprotocol cable termination networks. Each
network is capable of terminating V.11 (RS-422, RS530, RS-530A, RS-449, V.36, and X.21) with a 100Ω differential load, V.35 with a T-network load, or V.28
(RS-232) and V.10 (RS-423) with an open circuit load
for use with transceivers having on-chip termination.
The devices replace discrete resistor termination networks and expensive relays required for multiprotocol
termination. The MAX3172/MAX3174, along with the
MAX3170 and MAX3171/MAX3173, form a complete
+3.3V software-selectable DTE or DCE interface port
supporting V.11/RS-422, RS-530, RS-530A, V.36/RS449, V.35, V.28/RS-232, V.10/RS-423, and X.21 serial
interfaces.
In addition to the five multiprotocol cable termination
networks, the MAX3172/MAX3174 contain a 1Tx/1Rx
multiprotocol transceiver designed to use V+ and Vgenerated by the MAX3171/MAX3173 charge pump.
The MAX3172/MAX3174 transceiver is software selectable between V.10 and V.28 modes of operation. The
MAX3172 features 10µs deglitching on the V.10/V.28
receiver input to facilitate unterminated operation, while
the MAX3174 is used in applications that do not require
deglitching on the serial handshake signals. These
devices are available in a 28-pin SSOP package.

Note 2: The charge pump on the MAX3171/MAX3173 can supply V+ and V- to the MAX3172/MAX3174. The V+ and V- input levels
vary with the mode of chipset operation as follows:
V.35/V.28 modes: +5.55V ≤ V+ ≤ +6.50V, -6.50V ≤ V- ≤ -5.45V
Typical operation: V+ = +5.90V, V- = -5.80V
V.10/V.11 modes: +4.20V ≤ V+ ≤ +5.0V, -4.60V ≤ V- ≤ -3.80V
Typical operation: V+ = +4.60V, V- = -4.20V
The MAX3171/MAX3173 are guaranteed to provide these V+/V- supply levels.

The MAX3172/MAX3174 contain five software-selectable
multiprotocol cable termination networks. Each network is
capable of terminating V.11 transceivers (RS-422, RS530, RS-530A, RS-449, V.36, and X.21) with a 100Ω differential load, V.35 transceivers with a T-network load, or
V.28 (RS-232) and V.10 transceivers (RS-423) with an
open circuit load. The MAX3172/MAX3174, along with the
MAX3170 and MAX3171/MAX3173, form a complete
+3.3V software-selectable DTE or DCE interface port supporting V.11/RS-422, RS-530, RS-530A, V.36/RS-449,
V.35, V.28/RS-232, V.10/RS-423, and X.21 serial interfaces.
The MAX3172/MAX3174 also contain a multiprotocol
transceiver that is software-selectable between V.10 and
V.28 operation modes. This transceiver is intended as the
handshake signal I/O in a DCE/DTE port application, and
is designed to use V+ and V- levels generated by the
MAX3171/MAX3173 charge pump. The MAX3172 features 10µs deglitching on the V.10/V.28 receiver input to
allow unterminated operation. The MAX3174 is used in
applications that do not require deglitching on the serial
handshake signals.
No-Cable Mode
The MAX3172/MAX3174 enter no-cable mode when the
mode-select inputs are all HIGH (M0 = M1 = M2 = 1). In
this mode, the driver, receiver, and bias circuitry are disabled, and the supply current drops to less than 200µA.

In no-cable mode, all five termination networks are
placed in the V.11 mode of operation (shorting pins R_A
and R_B with a 100Ω resistor). The receiver output enters
a high-impedance state in no-cable mode, allowing this
output line to be shared with other receivers (the receiver
output has an internal pullup resistor to pull the output
HIGH if not driven). Also, in no-cable mode, the transmitter output enters a high-impedance state so that this output can be shared with other devices.
Cable Termination
The MAX3172/MAX3174 software-selectable resistor networks are intended for use with the MAX3170 clock/data
transceiver chip. The termination network is used for the
V.11, V.35, and V.28 transmitters. The MAX3172/
MAX3174 provide the advantage of not having to build
expensive termination networks from resistors and relays,
manually changing termination modules, or building termination networks into custom cables.
Each termination network can be in one of three modes:
V.35, V.11, or high impedance (high-Z) as shown in
Figure 5 (see Table 2). For example, in V.35 mode, all five

impedance and 150Ω common-mode impedance to terminate the MAX3170 V.35 transmitter outputs and receiver inputs.
Termination Mode Selection
The mode-select pins M0, M1, M2, and DCE/DTE control
the state of the five termination networks (Table 1). The
mode-select table of the MAX3172/MAX3174 is compatible with the MAX3170 mode-select table so that the M0,
10
M1, M2, and DCE/DTE pins can be connected to the corresponding pins on the MAX3170. For example, M2 = 1,
M1 = 0, M0 = 0 corresponds to V.35 mode for both the
MAX3172/MAX3174 and the MAX3170 clock/data transceiver chip.
R4/T4 Mode Selection
The MAX3172/MAX3174 include a transceiver for use in
applications requiring an extra serial handshake signal
(for example, local loopback). The transceiver can be

and the MAX3171/MAX3173 (control transceiver). For
example, if X.21 mode is selected in DCE mode (M2 = 0,
M1 = 1, M0 = 1, and DCE/DTE = 1), the MAX3170,
MAX3171/MAX3173, and MAX3172/MAX3174 transceivers will all be placed in X.21 DCE mode.
threshold is between +25mV and +250mV. If the V.10
receiver input voltage is less than +25mV, R4OUT is
logic HIGH. If the V.10 receiver input is greater than
+250mV, R4OUT is logic LOW.
The V.28 receiver threshold is between +0.8V and
+2.0V. If the V.28 receiver input voltage is less than
+0.8V, R4OUT is logic HIGH. If the receiver input is
greater than +2.0V, R4OUT is logic LOW. If the driving
transmitter is disabled or disconnected, the receiver’s
input voltage is pulled to zero by its internal termination.
With the receiver thresholds of the MAX3172/MAX3174,
this results in a logic HIGH.
Applications Information
Fail-Safe
Older multiprotocol cable termination implementations
have been constructed using expensive relays with discrete resistors, custom cables with built-in termination,
or complex circuit board configurations to route signals
to the correct termination. The MAX3172/MAX3174 provide a simple solution to this termination problem. All
required termination configurations are software selectable using four mode-control input pins (M2, M1, M0,
and DCE/DTE).
The MAX3172/MAX3174 guarantee a logic HIGH
receiver output when the receiver input is shorted to
GND or when it is connected to a terminated transmission line with the driver disabled. The V.10 receiver

with a minimum of a 100Ω resistor (Figure 6). This resistor, although not required, prevents reflections from
corrupting transmitted data.
In Figure 7, the MAX3172/MAX3174 are used to terminate the V.11 receiver. Internal to the MAX3172/
MAX3174, S1 is closed and S2 is open to present a
104Ω typical differential resistance and high-Z common-mode impedance. S3 opens to disable the
MAX3170’s internal V.28 termination.
The V.11 specification allows for signals with commonmode variations of ±7V with differential signal amplitudes from 2V to 6V. Also, data rates may be as high as
12
10Mbps. The MAX3172/MAX3174 maintain steady termination impedance between 100Ω and 110Ω over
these conditions.
V.35 Termination
Figure 8 shows a standard V.35 interface. The generator and the load must both present a 100Ω ±10Ω differential impedance and a 150Ω ±15Ω common-mode
impedance (as shown by the resistive T-networks in
Figure 8). The V.35 driver generates a current output
(typically ±11mA) that develops an output voltage
between 440mV and 660mV across the load termination networks.

Figure 10. V.35 Driver
In Figure 9, the MAX3172/MAX3174 are used to implement the resistive T-network that is needed to properly

MAX3172/MAX3174, S1 and S2 are closed to connect
the T-network resistors to the circuit. The V.28 termina-
For applications where EMI reduction is especially
important, the MAX3172/MAX3174 termination networks provide a pin for shunting common-mode driver
currents to GND (Figure 10). Mismatches between A
and B driver output propagation delays create a common-mode disturbance on the cable. This commonmode energy can be shunted to GND by placing a
100pF capacitor (C1 to GND) from the center point of
the T-network termination (R1C, R2C, and R3C).
V.28 Termination
Most industry-standard V.28 receivers (including the
MAX3170) do not require external termination because
the receiver includes an internal 5kΩ termination resistor. When the MAX3172/MAX3174 are placed in V.28
mode, all five of the termination networks are placed in
a high-Z mode. In high-Z mode, the MAX3172/
MAX3174 termination networks will not interfere with the
MAX3170's internal 5kΩ termination.

In Figure 11, the MAX3170 and MAX3172/MAX3174 are

on the MAX3172/MAX3174 to place the network in highZ mode. Switch S3 is closed on the MAX3170 to enable
the 5kΩ terminating resistor.
V.28 Interface
The V.28 interface is an unbalanced single-ended interface (Figure 12). The V.28 driver generates a minimum
of ±5V across the load impedance between A' and C'.
14
The V.28 receiver specification calls for input trip points
at ±3V. To aid in rejecting system noise, the MAX3170
V.28 receiver has a typical hysteresis of 0.5V. Also, the
MAX3172/MAX3174 have more tightly specified input
trip points to guarantee fail-safe operation (see FailSafe).
The MAX3172/MAX3174 V.28 receiver provides an
internal 5kΩ termination resistance.
The V.10 interface (Figure 12) is an unbalanced singleended interface capable of driving a 450Ω load. The
V.10 driver generates a minimum voltage of ±4V
(VODO) across A' and C' when unloaded and a minimum voltage of ±0.9 ✕ VODO when loaded with 450Ω.
The V.10 receiver input trip threshold is defined
between +300mV and -300mV with input impedance
characteristics shown in Figure 13.
The MAX3172/MAX3174 V.10 mode receiver has a
threshold between +25mV and +250mV to ensure that
the receiver has proper fail-safe operation (see FailSafe). To aid in rejecting system noise, the MAX3172/
MAX3174 V.10 receiver has a typical hysteresis of
15mV. Switch S3 in Figure 14 is open in V.10 mode to
disable the 5kΩ V.28 termination at the receiver input.
Receiver Glitch Rejection
To allow operation in an unterminated or otherwise
noisy system, the MAX3172 features 10µs of receiver
input glitch rejection. The glitch-rejection circuitry
blocks the reception of high-frequency noise with a bit
period less than 5µs while receiving low-frequency signals with a bit period greater than 15µs, allowing glitchfree operation in unterminated systems at up to 64kbps.

which enables driver 4 on the MAX3172/MAX3174
(INVERT = 0), driver 3 on the MAX3171/MAX3173, and
driver 3 on the MAX3170. A logic low selects DTE,
