MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E †/MAX3246E
General Description
The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/
MAX3246E +3.0V-powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24
communications interface devices feature low power consumption, high data-rate capabilities, and enhanced
electrostatic-discharge (ESD) protection. The enhanced
ESD structure protects all transmitter outputs and
receiver inputs to ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap
Discharge, ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge
(±9kV for MAX3246E), and ±15kV using the Human Body
Model. The logic and receiver I/O pins of the MAX3237E
are protected to the above standards, while the transmitter output pins are protected to ±15kV using the Human
Body Model.
A proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage delivers
true RS-232 performance from a +3.0V to +5.5V power
supply, using an internal dual charge pump. The charge
pump requires only four small 0.1µF capacitors for operation from a +3.3V supply. Each device guarantees operation at data rates of 250kbps while maintaining RS-232
output levels. The MAX3237E guarantees operation at
250kbps in the normal operating mode and 1Mbps in the
MegaBaud™ operating mode, while maintaining RS-232compliant output levels.
The MAX3222E/MAX3232E have two receivers and two
transmitters. The MAX3222E features a 1µA shutdown
mode that reduces power consumption in battery-powered portable systems. The MAX3222E receivers remain
active in shutdown mode, allowing monitoring of external
devices while consuming only 1µA of supply current. The
MAX3222E and MAX3232E are pin, package, and functionally compatible with the industry-standard MAX242
and MAX232, respectively.
The MAX3241E/MAX3246E are complete serial ports
(three drivers/five receivers) designed for notebook and
subnotebook computers. The MAX3237E (five drivers/
three receivers) is ideal for peripheral applications that
require fast data transfer. These devices feature a shutdown mode in which all receivers remain active, while
consuming only 1µA (MAX3241E/MAX3246E) or 10nA
(MAX3237E).
The MAX3222E, MAX3232E, and MAX3241E are available in space-saving SO, SSOP, and TSSOP packages.
The MAX3237E is offered in an SSOP package. The
MAX3246E is offered in the ultra-small 6 x 6 UCSP™
package.

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 Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/
MAX3246Es’ 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 VCC range. The
charge pump operates in discontinuous mode; if the
output voltages are less than 5.5V, the charge pump is
enabled, and 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 (Figure 1).
RS-232 Transmitters
The transmitters are inverting level translators that convert TTL/CMOS-logic levels to ±5V EIA/TIA-232-compliant levels.
The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/
MAX3246E transmitters guarantee a 250kbps data rate
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 or mice.
The MAX3222E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/MAX3246E
transmitters are disabled and the outputs are forced
into a high-impedance state when the device is in shutdown mode (SHDN = GND). The MAX3222E/
MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/MAX3246E permit
the outputs to be driven up to ±12V in shutdown.
The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3241E/MAX3246E
transmitter inputs do not have pullup resistors. Connect
unused inputs to GND or VCC. The MAX3237E’s transmitter inputs have a 400kΩ active positive-feedback
resistor, allowing unused inputs to be left unconnected.
MAX3237E MegaBaud Operation
For higher-speed serial communications, the
MAX3237E features MegaBaud operation. In
MegaBaud operating mode (MBAUD = V CC ), the
MAX3237E transmitters guarantee a 1Mbps data rate
with worst-case loads of 3kΩ in parallel with 250pF for
+3.0V < VCC < +4.5V. For +5V ±10% operation, the
MAX3237E transmitters guarantee a 1Mbps data rate
into worst-case loads of 3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF.
RS-232 Receivers
The receivers convert RS-232 signals to CMOS-logic
output levels. The MAX3222E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/
MAX3246E receivers have inverting three-state outputs.
Drive EN high to place the receiver(s) into a highimpedance state. Receivers can be either active or
inactive in shutdown (Table 1).

(b) with Previous Transceivers (a)
The complementary outputs on the MAX3237E/
MAX3241E (R_OUTB) are always active, regardless of the
state of EN or SHDN. This allows the device to be used
for ring indicator applications without forward biasing
other devices connected to the receiver outputs. This is
ideal for systems where VCC drops to zero in shutdown
to accommodate peripherals such as UARTs (Figure 2).
Supply current falls to less than 1µA in shutdown mode
(SHDN = low). The MAX3237E’s supply current falls
to10nA (typ) when all receiver inputs are in the invalid
range (-0.3V < R_IN < +0.3). When shut down, the
device’s charge pumps are shut off, V+ is pulled down
to VCC, V- is pulled to ground, and the transmitter outputs are disabled (high impedance). The time required
to recover from shutdown is typically 100µs, as shown
in Figure 3. Connect SHDN to VCC if shutdown mode is
not used. SHDN has no effect on R_OUT or R_OUTB
(MAX3237E/MAX3241E).
±15kV ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures
are incorporated to protect against electrostatic discharges encountered during handling and assembly.
The driver outputs and receiver inputs of the
MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/MAX3246E
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.
Furthermore, the MAX3237E logic I/O pins also have
±15kV ESD protection. Protecting the logic I/O pins to
±15kV makes the MAX3237E ideal for data cable
applications.

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 4a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure
4b 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.
The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
performance of finished equipment; it does not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The MAX3222E/
MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/MAX3246E help you
design equipment that meets level 4 (the highest level)
of IEC 1000-4-2, without the need for additional ESDprotection 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 5a shows the IEC 1000-4-2 model, and
Figure 5b shows the current waveform for the ±8kV IEC
1000-4-2 level 4 ESD Contact Discharge test. The AirGap Discharge 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. 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; polarized or nonpolarized capacitors
can be used. The charge pump requires 0.1µF capacitors for 3.3V operation. For other supply voltages, see
Table 2 for required capacitor values. Do not use values smaller than those listed in Table 2. 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
12
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 sensitive to power-supply
noise, use a capacitor of the same value as chargepump capacitor C1. Connect bypass capacitors as
close to the IC as possible.
Operation Down to 2.7V
Transmitter outputs meet EIA/TIA-562 levels of ±3.7V
with supply voltages as low as 2.7V.

Figure 3 shows two transmitter outputs recovering from
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
transmitter is loaded with 3kΩ in parallel with 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 -3.0V.
Mouse Drivability
The MAX3241E is 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
MAX3241E successfully drove all serial mice tested
and met their current and voltage requirements.

Figure 6a shows the transmitter output voltages under
increasing load current at +3.0V. Figure 6b shows a
typical mouse connection using the MAX3241E.
High Data Rates
The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/
MAX3246E maintain the RS-232 ±5V minimum transmitter output voltage even at high data rates. Figure 7
shows a transmitter loopback test circuit. Figure 8
shows a loopback test result at 120kbps, and Figure 9
shows the same test at 250kbps. For Figure 8, all transmitters were driven simultaneously at 120kbps into RS232 loads in parallel with 1000pF. For Figure 9, a single
transmitter was driven at 250kbps, and all transmitters
were loaded with an RS-232 receiver in parallel with
1000pF.
The MAX3237E maintains the RS-232 ±5.0V minimum
transmitter output voltage at data rates up to 1Mbps.
Figure 10 shows a loopback test result at 1Mbps with
MBAUD = VCC. For Figure 10, all transmitters were
loaded with an RS-232 receiver in parallel with 250pF.
Interconnection with 3V and 5V Logic
The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/
MAX3246E can directly interface with various 5V logic
families, including ACT and HCT CMOS. See Table 3
for more information on possible combinations of interconnections.
UCSP Reliability
The UCSP represents a unique packaging form factor
that may not perform equally to a packaged product
through traditional mechanical reliability tests. UCSP
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 UCSP package. Performance
through Operating Life Test and Moisture Resistance
remains uncompromised as the wafer-fabrication
process primarily determines it.
Mechanical stress performance is a greater consideration for a UCSP package. UCSPs 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 4 shows the testing done to characterize
the UCSP 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.
