±15kV ESD-Protected, 1µA, 1Mbps, 3.0V to 5.5V,
RS-232 Transceivers with AutoShutdown Plus
________________General Description
The MAX3224E/MAX3225E/MAX3226E/MAX3227E/
MAX3244E/MAX3245E are 3V-powered EIA/TIA-232
and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces with automatic shutdown/wakeup features, high data-rate capabilities, and enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD)
protection. 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.
All devices achieve a 1µA supply current using Maxim’s
revolutionary AutoShutdown Plus™ feature. These
devices automatically enter a low-power shutdown
mode when the RS-232 cable is disconnected or the
transmitters of the connected peripherals are inactive,
and the UART driving the transmitter inputs is inactive
for more than 30 seconds. They turn on again when
they sense a valid transition at any transmitter or receiver input. AutoShutdown Plus saves power without
changes to the existing BIOS or operating system.
The MAX3225E/MAX3227E/MAX3245E also feature
MegaBaud™ operation, guaranteeing 1Mbps for highspeed applications such as communicating with ISDN
modems. The MAX3224E/MAX3226E/MAX3244E guarantee 250kbps operation. The transceivers have a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage enabling
true RS-232 performance from a +3.0V to +5.5V supply
with a dual charge pump. The charge pump requires
only four small 0.1µF capacitors for operation from a
3.3V supply. The MAX3224E–MAX3227E feature a logiclevel output (READY)
that asserts when

pump is regulating and the device is ready to begin
transmitting.
All devices are available in a space-saving TQFN,
SSOP, and TSSOP (MAX3224E/MAX3225E/MAX3244E/
MAX3245E) packages.

_______________Detailed Description
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX3224E–MAX3227E/MAX3244E/MAX3245E’s
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), over the +3.0V to +5.5V range. The charge
pump operates in discontinuous mode: if the output
voltages are less than 5.5V, the charge pump is

enabled; if the output voltages exceed 5.5V, the
charge-pump is disabled. Each charge pump requires
a flying capacitor (C1, C2) and a reservoir capacitor
(C3, C4) to generate the V+ and V- supplies.
The READY output (MAX3224E–MAX3227E) is low
when the charge pumps are disabled in shutdown
mode. The READY signal asserts high when V- goes
below -4V.

RS-232 Transmitters
The transmitters are inverting level translators that
convert CMOS-logic levels to 5.0V EIA/TIA-232 levels.
The MAX3224E/MAX3226E/MAX3244E guarantee a
250kbps data rate (1Mbps, for the MAX3225E/MAX3227E/
MAX3245E) with worst-case loads of 3kΩ in parallel with
1000pF, providing compatibility with PC-to-PC communication software (such as LapLink®). Transmitters
can be paralleled to drive multiple receivers. Figure 1
shows a complete system connection.
When FORCEOFF is driven to ground or when the AutoShutdown Plus circuitry senses that all receiver and
transmitter inputs are inactive for more than 30s, the
transmitters are disabled and the outputs go into a highimpedance state. When powered off or shut down, the
outputs can be driven to ±12V. The transmitter inputs
do not have pullup resistors. Connect unused inputs to
GND or VCC.

RS-232 Receivers
The receivers convert RS-232 signals to CMOS-logic
output levels. The MAX3224E–MAX3227E feature
inverting outputs that always remain active (Table 1).
The MAX3244E/MAX3245E have inverting three-state
outputs that are high impedance when shut down
(FORCEOFF = GND) (Table 1).
The MAX3244E/MAX3245E feature an extra, always
active, noninverting output, R2OUTB. R2OUTB output
monitors receiver activity while the other receivers are
high impedance, allowing ring indicator applications to
be monitored without forward biasing other devices
connected to the receiver outputs. This is ideal for systems where V CC is set to ground in shutdown to
accommodate peripherals such as UARTs (Figure 2).
10
The MAX3224E–MAX3227E/MAX3244E/MAX3245E feature an INVALID output that is enabled low when no
valid RS-232 voltage levels have been detected on all
receiver inputs. Because INVALID indicates the receiver input’s condition, it is independent of FORCEON and
FORCEOFF states (Figures 3 and 4).
AutoShutdown Plus Mode
The MAX3224E–MAX3227E/MAX3244E/MAX3245E
achieve a 1µA supply current with Maxim’s AutoShutdown
Plus feature, which operates when FORCEOFF is high
and a FORCEON is low. When these devices do not
sense a valid signal transition on any receiver and transmitter input for 30s, the on-board charge pumps are
shut down, reducing supply current to 1µA. This occurs
if the RS-232 cable is disconnected or if the connected

peripheral transmitters are turned off, and the UART driving the transmitter inputs is inactive. The system turns
on again when a valid transition is applied to any
RS-232 receiver or transmitter input. As a result, the system saves power without changes to the existing BIOS
or operating system.
Figures 3a and 3b depict valid and invalid RS-232
receiver voltage levels. INVALID indicates the receiver
input’s condition, and is independent of FORCEON and
FORCEOFF states. Figure 3 and Tables 1 and 2 summarize the operating modes of the MAX3224E–
MAX3227E/MAX3244E/MAX3245E. FORCEON and
FORCEOFF override AutoShutdown Plus circuitry.
When neither control is asserted, the IC selects
between these states automatically based on the last
receiver or transmitter input edge received.

Figure 4b. AutoShutdown Plus, INVALID, and READY Timing Diagram
By connecting FORCEON and FORCEOFF to INVALID,
the MAX3224E–MAX3227E/MAX3244E/MAX3245E shut
down when no valid receiver level is detected and
wake up when a valid receiver level is detected (same
functionality as AutoShutdown feature on MAX3221E/
MAX3223E/MAX3243E).
A mouse or other system with AutoShutdown Plus may
need time to wake up. Figure 5 shows a circuit that
forces the transmitters on for 100ms, allowing enough
time for the other system to realize that the MAX3244E/
MAX3245E is awake. If the other system outputs valid
RS-232 signal transitions within that time, the RS-232
ports on both systems remain enabled.

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 IEC 1000-4-2’s Air-Gap Method.

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 MAX3224E–MAX3227E,
MAX3244E/MAX3245E 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 IEC 1000-4-2 is higher peak
current in IEC 1000-4-2, because series resistance is
lower in the IEC 1000-4-2 model. Hence, the ESD withstand voltage measured to IEC 1000-4-2 is generally
lower than that measured using the Human Body
Model. Figure 7a shows the IEC 1000-4-2 model and
Figure 7b shows the current waveform for the 8kV, IEC
1000-4-2, Level 4, ESD Contact-Discharge Method.
The Air-Gap Method 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.

can be used. The charge pump requires 0.1µF capacitors for 3.3V operation. For other supply voltages, see
Table 3 for required capacitor values. Do not use values smaller than those listed in Table 3. 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, C4,
and CBYPASS, 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), which usually rises at low
temperatures, influences the amount of ripple on V+
and V-.
Power-Supply Decoupling
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
charge-pump capacitor C1. Connect bypass capacitors as close to the IC as possible.
Transmitter Outputs
when Exiting Shutdown
Figure 8 shows two transmitter outputs when 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

The MAX3224E/MAX3226E/MAX3244E maintain the

at 120kbps, and Figure 11 shows the same test at
250kbps. For Figure 10, all transmitters were driven
simultaneously at 120kbps into RS-232 loads in parallel
with 1000pF. For Figure 11, a single transmitter was driven at 250kbps, and all transmitters were loaded with
an RS-232 receiver in parallel with 250pF.
The MAX3225E/MAX3227E/MAX3245E maintain the
RS-232 ±5.0V minimum transmitter output voltage at
data rates up to 1Mbps (MegaBaud). Figure 12 shows

The MAX3244E/MAX3245E are specifically designed to
power serial mice while operating from low-voltage
power supplies. They have been tested with leading
mouse brands from manufacturers such as Microsoft
and Logitech. The MAX3244E/MAX3245E successfully
drove all serial mice tested and met their respective
current and voltage requirements. The MAX3244E/
MAX3245E dual charge pump ensures the transmitters
supply at least ±5V during worst-case conditions.
Figure 13b shows the transmitter output voltages under
increasing load current. Figure 13a shows a typical
mouse connection.
