TIGER ELECTRONIC CO.,LTD 3.0V to 5.5V, Low-Power, up to 1Mbps, True RS-232 Transceivers Using Four 0.1µF External Capacitors Description Features The MAX3222/MAX3232/MAX3237/MAX3241 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 devices require only four small 0.1µF external chargepump capacitors. The MAX3222, MAX3232, and MAX3241 are guaranteed to run at data rates of 120kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels. The MAX3237 is guaranteed to run at data rates of 250kbps in the normal operating mode and 1Mbps in the MegaBaud™ operating mode, while maintaining RS-232 output levels. The MAX3222/MAX3232 have 2 receivers and 2 drivers. The MAX3222 features a 1µA shutdown mode that reduces power consumption and extends battery life in portable systems. Its receivers remain active in shutdown mode, allowing external devices such as modems to be monitored using only 1µA supply current. The MAX3222 and MAX3232 are pin, package, and functionally compatible with the industry-standard MAX242 and MAX232, respectively. The MAX3241 is a complete serial port (3 drivers/ 5 receivers) designed for notebook and subnotebook computers. The MAX3237 (5 drivers/3 receivers) is ideal for fast modem applications. Both these devices feature a shutdown mode in which all receivers can remain active while using only 1µA supply current. Receivers R1 (MAX3237/MAX3241) and R2 (MAX3241) have extra outputs in addition to their standard outputs. These extra outputs are always active, allowing external devices such as a modem to be monitored without forward biasing the protection diodes in circuitry that may have VCC completely removed. ♦ Low Supply Current: 300µA (MAX3222/MAX3232/MAX3241) 500µA (MAX3237) ♦ Guaranteed Data Rate: 120kbps (MAX3222/MAX3232/MAX3241) 250kbps (MAX3237—Normal Operation) 1Mbps (MAX3237—MegaBaud Operation) ♦ 1µA Low-Power Shutdown with Receivers Active (MAX3222/MAX3237/MAX3241) ♦ Flow-Through Pinout (MAX3237) ♦ Meets EIA/TIA-232 Specifications Down to 3.0V ♦ Guaranteed Mouse Driveability (MAX3241) The MAX3222, MAX3237, and MAX3241 are available in space-saving TSSOP and SSOP packages.

The charge pumps operate in a discontinuous mode; if the output voltages are less than 5.5V, the charge pumps are enabled, and 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 CMOS-logic levels to 5.0V EIA/TIA-232 levels. The MAX3222/MAX3232/MAX3241 transmitters guarantee a 120kbps data rate with worst-case loads of 3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF, providing compatibility with PC-toPC communication software (such as LapLink™). Typically, these three devices can operate at data rates of 235kbps. Transmitters can be paralleled to drive multiple receivers or mice. The MAX3222/MAX3237/MAX3241’s output stage is turned off (high impedance) when the device is in shutdown mode. When the power is off, the MAX3222/ MAX3232/MAX3237/MAX3241 permit the outputs to be driven up to ±12V. The transmitter inputs do not have pull-up resistors. Connect unused inputs to GND or VCC. MAX3237 MegaBaud Operation In normal operating mode (MBAUD = GND), the MAX3237 transmitters guarantee a 250kbps data rate with worst-case loads of 3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF. This provides compatibility with PC-to-PC communication software, such as Laplink™. For higher speed serial communications, the MAX3237 features MegaBaud operation. In MegaBaud operating mode (MBAUD = VCC), the MAX3237 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 MAX3237 transmitters guarantee a 1Mbps data rate into worst-case loads of 3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF.

The MAX3222/MAX3237/MAX3241 receivers have inverting three-state outputs. In shutdown, the receivers can be active or inactive (Table 1). VCC The complementary outputs on the MAX3237 (R1OUTB) and the MAX3241 (R1OUTB, R2OUTB) are always active, regardless of the state of EN or SHDN. This allows for Ring Indicator applications without forward biasing other devices connected to the receiver outputs. This is ideal for systems where V CC is set to 0V in shutdown to accommodate peripherals, such as UARTs (Figure 2). PREVIOUS RS-232 VCC Rx PROTECTION DIODE 5k MAX3222/MAX3237/MAX3241 Shutdown Mode UART Tx GND Supply current falls to less than 1µA in shutdown mode (SHDN = low). When shut down, the device’s charge pumps are turned off, V+ is pulled down to VCC, V- is pulled to ground, and the transmitter outputs are disabled (high impedance). The time required to exit shutdown is typically 100µs, as shown in Figure 3. Connect SHDN to VCC if the shutdown mode is not used. SHDN has no effect on R_OUT or R_OUTB.

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, refer to Table 2 for required capacitor values. Do not use values lower 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, 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 higher nominal value. The capacitor’s equivalent series resistance (ESR), which usually rises at low temperatures, influences the amount of ripple on V+ and V-. Table 1.

Transmitter Outputs when Exiting Shutdown or Powering Up Figure 3 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 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. The MAX3241 has been specifically 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 MAX3241 successfully drove all serial mice tested and met their respective current and voltage requirements. Figure 4a shows the transmitter output voltages under increasing load current at 3.0V.

MAX3241 Loopback Test Result at 235kbps High Data Rates The MAX3222/MAX3232/MAX3241 maintain the RS-232 ±5.0V minimum transmitter output voltage even at high data rates. Figure 5 shows a transmitter loopback test circuit. Figure 6 shows a loopback test result at 120kbps, and Figure 7 shows the same test at 235kbps. For Figure 6, all transmitters were driven simultaneously at 120kbps into RS-232 loads in parallel with 1000pF. For Figure 7, a single transmitter was driven at 235kbps, and all transmitters were loaded with an RS-232 receiver in parallel with 1000pF. The MAX3237 maintains the RS-232 ±5.0V minimum transmitter output voltage at data rates up to 1Mbps. Figure 8 shows a loopback test result at 1Mbps with MBAUD = V CC . For Figure 8, all transmitters were loaded with an RS-232 receiver in parallel with 250pF. +5V T_IN 0V +5V 0V T_OUT = R_IN 5k + 250pF -5V +5V R_OUT 150pF 0V 200ns/div VCC = 3.3V Figure 8.
