When the device does not sense a valid signal transition on either the receiver or transmitter inputs within 30sec, the on-board power supply and drivers shut down. This occurs if the RS-232 cable is disconnected or if the transmitters of the connected peripheral are inactive. The system turns on again when a valid transition is applied to any RS-232 receiver or transmitter input, saving power without changes to the existing BIOS or operating system. The MAX3238 5-driver/3-receiver complete serial port is a 3V-powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications interface intended for notebook or subnotebook computer applications. A proprietary, high-efficiency, 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. A guaranteed data rate of 250kbps provides compatibility with popular software for communicating with personal computers. The MAX3238 requires only 0.1µF capacitors in 3.3V operation. It is ideal for 3.3V-only systems, mixed 3.3V and 5.0V systems, or 5V-only systems that require true RS-232 performance.

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 CMOS-logic levels to 5.0V EIA/TIA-232 levels. The MAX3238 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. Figure 1 shows a complete system connection. When FORCEOFF is driven to ground, the transmitters and receivers are disabled and the outputs go high impedance, except for R1OUTB. When the AutoShutdown Plus circuitry senses that all receiver and transmitter inputs are inactive for more than 30sec, the transmitters are disabled and the outputs go into a high-impedance state, but the receivers remain active. When the power is off, the MAX3238 permits the outputs to be driven up to ±12V. The transmitter inputs do not have pull-up resistors. Connect unused inputs to GND or VCC. RS-232 Receivers The receivers convert RS-232 signals to CMOS-logic output levels. All receivers have inverting three-state outputs and are inactive in shutdown (FORCEOFF) (Table 1). The MAX3238 also features an extra, alwaysactive noninverting output, R1OUTB. This extra output monitors receiver activity while the other receivers are high impedance, allowing Ring Indicator to be monitored without forward biasing other devices connected to the receiver outputs. This is ideal for systems where VCC is set to 0V in shutdown to accommodate peripherals, such as UARTs (Figure 2). LapLink is a trademark of Traveling Software. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 5 MAX3238 +3.0V to +5.5V, 1µA, up to 250kbps, True RS-232 Transceiver with AutoShutdown Plus POWER MANAGEMENT UNIT OR KEYBOARD CONTROLLER VCC FORCEOFF FORCEON INVALID PROTECTION DIODE MAX3238 PREVIOUS RS-232 VCC I Rx T1 5kΩ UART T2 Tx T3 CPU I/O CHIP WITH UART GND SHDN = GND T4 RS-232 T5 (a) OLDER RS-232: POWERED-DOWN UART DRAWS CURRENT FROM ACTIVE RECEIVER OUTPUT IN SHUTDOWN.

Interface Under Control of PMU 6 R1OUTB VCC AutoShutdown Plus Mode 1µA supply current is achieved with Maxim’s AutoShutdown Plus feature, which operates when FORCEOFF is high and FORCEON is low. When the MAX3238 senses no valid signal transitions on all receiver and transmitter inputs for 30sec, the on-board power supply and drivers are shut off, reducing supply current to 1µA. This occurs if the RS-232 cable is disconnected or if the connected peripheral transmitters are turned off. 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. The INVALID output is high when the receivers are active. Since INVALID indicates the receiver inputs’ condition, it can be used in any mode (Figure 3).

Figure 3a. INVALID Functional Diagram, INVALID Low Tables 1 and 2 and Figure 3 summarize the MAX3238’s operating modes. FORCEON and FORCEOFF override the automatic circuitry and force the transceiver into its normal operating state or into its low-power standby state. When neither control is asserted, the IC enters AutoShutdown Plus mode and 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+ decays to VCC, V- decays to ground, and the transmitter outputs are disabled (high impedance). The time required to exit shutdown is typically 25µs (Figure 4b). +2.7V R_IN 30µs TIMER R -2.7V INVALID INVALID DEASSERTED IF ANY RECEIVER INPUT HAS BEEN BETWEEN +2.7V AND -2.7V FOR LESS THAN 30µs.

Tie FORCEOFF and FORCEON together to bypass the AutoShutdown feature so the line acts like a SHDN input. T_IN __________Applications Information R_IN 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).

As they become active, the 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. Interconnection with 3V and 5V Logic The MAX3238 can directly interface with various 5Vlogic families, including ACT and HCT CMOS.
