19-1289; Rev 1; 3/98
1µA Supply Current, 1Mbps, 3.0V to 5.5V,
RS-232 Transceivers with AutoShutdown Plus
____________________________Features
♦ 1µA Supply Current
The MAX3225/MAX3227/MAX3245 also feature
MegaBaud™ operation, guaranteeing 1Mbps for highspeed applications such as communicating with ISDN
modems. The MAX3224/MAX3226/MAX3244 guarantee
250kbps operation. The transceivers have a proprietary
low-dropout transmitter output stage enabling true RS232 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 MAX3224–MAX3227 feature a logic-level output
(READY) that asserts when the charge pump is regulating and the device is ready to begin transmitting.
All devices are available in a space-saving SSOP package.

MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245 †
________________General Description
The MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245 are 3Vpowered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications
interfaces with automatic shutdown/wakeup features
and high data-rate capabilities.
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.

_______________Detailed Description
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The READY output (MAX3224–MAX3227) is low when
the charge pumps are disabled in shutdown mode. The
READY signal asserts high when V- goes below -4V.
The MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245’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 transmitters are inverting level translators that
convert CMOS-logic levels to 5.0V EIA/TIA-232 levels.
The MAX3224/MAX3226/MAX3244 guarantee a
250kbps data rate (1Mbps for the MAX3225/MAX3227/
MAX3245) 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.

The MAX3244/MAX3245 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).
The MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245 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 MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245 achieve a
1µA supply current with Maxim’s AutoShutdown
Plusfeature, 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 30sec, 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

input’s condition, and is independent of FORCEON and
FORCEOFF states. Figure 3 and Tables 1 and 2 summarize the operating modes of the MAX3224–
MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245 devices. 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.
When shut down, the device’s charge pumps turn off,
V+ is pulled to VCC, V- is pulled to ground, the transmitter outputs are high impedance, and READY
(MAX3224–MAX3227) is driven low. The time required
to exit shutdown is typically 100µs (Figure 8).

when a valid receiver level is detected (same functionality as AutoShutdown feature on MAX3221/MAX3223/
MAX3243).
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 MAX3244/
MAX3245 is awake. If the other system outputs valid
RS-232 signal transitions within that time, the RS-232
ports on both systems remain enabled.
Software-Controlled Shutdown
If direct software control is desired, use INVALID to
indicate DTR or Ring Indicator signal. Tie FORCEOFF
and FORCEON together to bypass the AutoShutdown
Plus so the line acts like a SHDN input.

__________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 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.
High Data Rates
The MAX3224/MAX3226/MAX3244 maintain the RS-232
±5.0V 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

when Exiting Shutdown
Figure 6 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
transmitter is loaded with 3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF.
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.

Mouse Driveability
The MAX3244/MAX3245 are specifically designed to
power serial mice while operating from low-voltage

mouse brands from manufacturers such as Microsoft
and Logitech. The MAX3244/MAX3245 successfully
drove all serial mice tested and met their respective
current and voltage requirements. The MAX3244/
MAX3245 dual charge pump ensures the transmitters
will supply at least ±5V during worst-case conditions.
