MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E†
________________General Description
The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E are
3V-powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications
interfaces with low power requirements, high datarate capabilities, and enhanced electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver
inputs are protected to ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 AirGap Discharge, ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge, and ±15kV using the Human Body Model. The
MAX3237E’s logic and receiver I/O pins are protected to
the above standards, while the transmitter output pins are
protected to ±15kV using the Human Body Model.
The transceivers have a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage, delivering true RS-232 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. Each device is guaranteed to run at data rates of 250kbps while maintaining RS232 output levels. The MAX3237E 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-compliant output levels.
The MAX3222E/MAX3232E have two receivers and two
drivers. The MAX3222E features a 1µA shutdown mode
that reduces power consumption and extends battery
life in portable systems. Its receivers can remain active
in shutdown mode, allowing external devices such as
modems to be monitored using only 1µA supply current.
Both the MAX3222E and MAX3232E are pin, package,
and functionally compatible with the industry-standard
MAX242 and MAX232, respectively.
The MAX3241E is a complete serial port (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.
Both devices feature a shutdown mode in which all
receivers can remain active while using a supply current of only 1µA (MAX3241E) or 10nA (MAX3237E). The
MAX3237E/MAX3241E have additional receiver outputs
that always remain active.
The MAX3222E and MAX3232E are available in spacesaving SO, SSOP, and TSSOP packages. The MAX3241E
is available in SO and SSOP packages. The MAX3237E is
available in an SSOP package.

_______________Detailed Description
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E’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 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 ±5.0V EIA/TIA-232-compliant levels.
The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E
transmitters guarantee a 250kbps data rate with worstcase 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’s transmitters are
disabled and the outputs are forced into a high-imped-
ance state when the device is in shutdown mode (SHDN =
GND). The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E
permit the outputs to be driven up to ±12V in shutdown.
The MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3241E transmitter
inputs do not have pull-up resistors. Connect unused
inputs to GND or VCC. The MAX3237E 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
receivers have inverting three-state outputs. Drive EN
high to place the receiver(s) into a high-impedance
state. Receivers can be either active or inactive in shutdown (Table 1).

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 0 in shutdown to accommodate
peripherals such as UARTs (Figure 2).
MAX3222E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E
Shutdown Mode
Supply current falls to less than 1µA in shutdown mode
(SHDN = low). The MAX3237E’s supply current falls to
10nA (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 V CC , 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 the shut-
8
down 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
MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E 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
IEC 1000-4-2
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 help you design equipment that
meets Level 4 (the highest level) of IEC 1000-4-2, without
the need for additional ESD-protection 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 Air-Gap 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
Transmitter Outputs when
Recovering from Shutdown
Capacitor Selection
Figure 3 shows two transmitter outputs when 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 -3V.
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
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.
Operation Down to 2.7V
Transmitter outputs will meet EIA/TIA-562 levels of
±3.7V with supply voltages as low as 2.7V.
Mouse Driveability
The MAX3241E 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 MAX3241E successfully drove all serial
mice tested and met their respective 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
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
simultaneously at 120kbps into RS-232 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.
