MAXIM MAX13223EEUP+

19-4585; Rev 0; 4/09
±70V Fault-Protected, 3.0V to 5.5V,
2Tx/2Rx RS-232 Transceiver
The MAX13223E is a +3.0V to +5.5V-powered EIA/TIA232 and V.28 communications interface with fault protection on the RS-232 line interface. This allows shorts of the
transmitter outputs and receiver inputs to voltages in the
±70V range without adversely affecting the MAX13223E.
The MAX13223E achieves 1µA supply current using
Maxim’s AutoShutdown™ feature. The MAX13223E
automatically enters a low-power shutdown mode when
the RS-232 cable is disconnected or the receivers are
inactive. The device turns on again when a valid transition at any receiver input is sensed. A proprietary, highefficiency, dual charge-pump power supply and a
low-dropout transmitter combine to deliver true RS-232
performance from a single +3.0V to +5.5V supply.
The MAX13223E has two receivers and two drivers and is
guaranteed to run at data rates of 250kbps for one transmitter switching while maintaining RS-232 output levels.
The MAX13223E operates from input voltages ranging
from +3.0V to +5.5V and is available in a 20-pin, 6.5mm
x 4.4mm, TSSOP package. The MAX13223E is specified over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Detailed Description
Figure 2 shows the receiver test circuit. Figure 3 shows
driver propagation delay and Figure 4 shows receiver
propagation delay.
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX13223E internal power supply consists of a
dual-mode regulated charge pump that provides output
voltages of +5.5V (doubling charge pump) and -5.5V
(inverting charge pump), regardless of the input voltage (VCC) over the +3.0V to +5.5V range. 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. Each charge pump requires a flying capacitor (C1, C2) and a reservoir capacitor (C3,
C4) to generate the V+ and V- supplies.
RS-232 Transmitters
The transmitters are inverting level translators that convert logic levels to EIA/TIA-232/V.28 levels. They guarantee a 250kbps data rate with worst-case loads of
3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF, providing compatibility with
PC-to-PC communication software. The MAX13223E
can operate at data rates of 250kbps (max).
Transmitters can be paralleled to drive multiple
receivers. When FORCEOFF is driven to ground, or the
AutoShutdown circuitry senses invalid voltage levels at
all receiver inputs, the transmitters are disabled and the
outputs are forced into a high-impedance state. Figure
5 shows a complete system connection.
RS-232 Receivers
The MAX13223E’s receivers convert RS-232 signals to
logic output levels. Both receiver outputs can be tristated using the EN input. In shutdown (FORCEOFF =
low) or in AutoShutdown, the MAX13223E’s receivers
are active (Table 1). Driving EN high places the
receivers’ outputs in a high-impedance state.

AutoShutdown
The MAX13223E achieves 1µA supply current with
Maxim’s AutoShutdown feature, which operates when
FORCEON is low and FORCEOFF is high. When the
device senses no valid signal levels on both receiver
inputs for > 30µs (typ), the onboard charge pump and
drivers are shut off, reducing 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
either RS-232 receiver input. As a result, the system
saves power. Table 2 summarizes the MAX13223E’s
operating modes. FORCEON and FORCEOFF override

Figures 6a and 6b. Trip Levels for Entering and Exiting
AutoShutdown
AutoShutdown. When neither control is asserted, the IC
selects between these states automatically, based on
receiver input levels. Figure 6a shows the input levels
and Figure 6b shows the timing diagram for
AutoShutdown operation.
Software-Controlled Shutdown
If direct software control is desired, INVALID can be
used to indicate a DTR or Ring indicator signal.
Connect FORCEOFF and FORCEON together to bypass
AutoShutdown; therefore, the line acts as a SHDN input.

Applications Information
Capacitor Selection
The capacitor type used for C1–C4 is not critical for
proper operation; either polarized or nonpolarized
capacitors may 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, 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-.

Figure 7 shows two transmitter outputs when exiting

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.

In most circumstances, a 0.1µF VCC bypass capacitor is
adequate. In applications that are sensitive to power-supply noise, decouple VCC to ground with a capacitor of the
same value as the charge-pump capacitor C1. Connect
bypass capacitors as close to the IC as possible.

Fault Protection
The MAX13223E is designed to survive faults such as
direct shorts to power supplies, miswiring faults, connector failures, and tool misapplications of the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs to voltages in the ±70V
range without damage. This fault protection is applicable in all modes of the MAX13223E: active, shutdown,
and powered down. Both receivers operate over the
±70V input range, but the termination resistor (RRX,I)
increases when |V R_IN | voltage exceeds ±32V.
A receiver’s input termination resistor reduces to its
nominal value if the input voltage reduces to within the
±24V range. The receiver inputs and transmitter outputs are independently fault protected.

±8kV 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. In using the MAX13223E, C4 must be a 1µF
capacitor for the extended ESD protection. The driver
outputs and receiver inputs of the MAX13223E have
extra protection against static electricity. Maxim’s engineers have developed state-of-the-art structures to protect these pins against ESD of ±8kV 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) ±8kV using the Human Body Model
2) ±8kV using the Contact-Discharge Method specified in IEC 61000-4-2
ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions.
Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents
test setup, test methodology, and test 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 61000-4-2
The IEC 61000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
performance of finished equipment. It does not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The major difference
between tests done using the Human Body Model and
IEC 61000-4-2 is higher peak current in IEC 61000-4-2,
because series resistance is lower in the IEC 61000-4-2
model. Hence, the ESD withstand voltage measured to
IEC 61000-4-2 is generally lower than that measured
using the Human Body Model. Figure 9a shows the IEC
61000-4-2 model and Figure 9b shows the current
waveform for the ±8kV, IEC 61000-4-2, level 4, ESD
Contact-Discharge Method.
