19-4323; Rev 16; 7/10
+5V-Powered, Multichannel RS-232
Drivers/Receivers
Next-Generation Device Features
The MAX220–MAX249 family of line drivers/receivers is
intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces, particularly applications where ±12V is
not available.
These parts are especially useful in battery-powered systems, since their low-power shutdown mode reduces
power dissipation to less than 5µW. The MAX225,
MAX233, MAX235, and MAX245/MAX246/MAX247 use
no external components and are recommended for applications where printed circuit board space is critical.
♦ For Low-Voltage, Integrated ESD Applications
MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/
MAX3246E: +3.0V to +5.5V, Low-Power, Up to
1Mbps, True RS-232 Transceivers Using Four
0.1µF External Capacitors (MAX3246E Available
in a UCSP™ Package)
♦ For Low-Cost Applications
MAX221E: ±15kV ESD-Protected, +5V, 1µA,

Table 1d. MAX247/MAX248/MAX249 Control Pin Configurations
MAX220–MAX249
+5V-Powered, Multichannel RS-232
Drivers/Receivers
_______________Detailed Description
The MAX220–MAX249 contain four sections: dual
charge-pump DC-DC voltage converters, RS-232 drivers, RS-232 receivers, and receiver and transmitter
enable control inputs.
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX220–MAX249 have two internal charge-pumps
that convert +5V to ±10V (unloaded) for RS-232 driver
operation. The first converter uses capacitor C1 to double the +5V input to +10V on C3 at the V+ output. The
second converter uses capacitor C2 to invert +10V to
-10V on C4 at the V- output.
A small amount of power may be drawn from the +10V
(V+) and -10V (V-) outputs to power external circuitry
(see the Typical Operating Characteristics section),
except on the MAX225 and MAX245–MAX247, where
these pins are not available. V+ and V- are not regulated,
so the output voltage drops with increasing load current.
Do not load V+ and V- to a point that violates the minimum ±5V EIA/TIA-232E driver output voltage when
sourcing current from V+ and V- to external circuitry.
When using the shutdown feature in the MAX222,
MAX225, MAX230, MAX235, MAX236, MAX240,
MAX241, and MAX245–MAX249, avoid using V+ and Vto power external circuitry. When these parts are shut
down, V- falls to 0V, and V+ falls to +5V. For applications where a +10V external supply is applied to the V+
pin (instead of using the internal charge pump to generate +10V), the C1 capacitor must not be installed and
the SHDN pin must be connected to V CC . This is
because V+ is internally connected to VCC in shutdown
mode.
RS-232 Drivers
The typical driver output voltage swing is ±8V when
loaded with a nominal 5kΩ RS-232 receiver and VCC =
+5V. Output swing is guaranteed to meet the EIA/TIA232E and V.28 specification, which calls for ±5V minimum driver output levels under worst-case conditions.
These include a minimum 3kΩ load, VCC = +4.5V, and
maximum operating temperature. Unloaded driver output voltage ranges from (V+ -1.3V) to (V- +0.5V).
Input thresholds are both TTL and CMOS compatible.
The inputs of unused drivers can be left unconnected
since 400kΩ input pullup resistors to VCC are built in
(except for the MAX220). The pullup resistors force the
outputs of unused drivers low because all drivers invert.
The internal input pullup resistors typically source 12µA,
except in shutdown mode where the pullups are disabled. Driver outputs turn off and enter a high-impedance state—where leakage current is typically
microamperes (maximum 25µA)—when in shutdown
14
mode, in three-state mode, or when device power is
removed. Outputs can be driven to ±15V. The powersupply current typically drops to 8µA in shutdown mode.
The MAX220 does not have pullup resistors to force the
outputs of the unused drivers low. Connect unused
inputs to GND or VCC.
The MAX239 has a receiver three-state control line, and
the MAX223, MAX225, MAX235, MAX236, MAX240,
and MAX241 have both a receiver three-state control
line and a low-power shutdown control. Table 2 shows
the effects of the shutdown control and receiver threestate control on the receiver outputs.
The receiver TTL/CMOS outputs are in a high-impedance, three-state mode whenever the three-state enable
line is high (for the MAX225/MAX235/MAX236/MAX239–
MAX241), and are also high-impedance whenever the
shutdown control line is high.
When in low-power shutdown mode, the driver outputs
are turned off and their leakage current is less than 1µA
with the driver output pulled to ground. The driver output
leakage remains less than 1µA, even if the transmitter
output is backdriven between 0V and (VCC + 6V). Below
-0.5V, the transmitter is diode clamped to ground with
1kΩ series impedance. The transmitter is also zener
clamped to approximately V CC + 6V, with a series
impedance of 1kΩ.
The driver output slew rate is limited to less than 30V/µs
as required by the EIA/TIA-232E and V.28 specifications. Typical slew rates are 24V/µs unloaded and
10V/µs loaded with 3Ω and 2500pF.
RS-232 Receivers
EIA/TIA-232E and V.28 specifications define a voltage
level greater than 3V as a logic 0, so all receivers invert.
Input thresholds are set at 0.8V and 2.4V, so receivers
respond to TTL level inputs as well as EIA/TIA-232E and
V.28 levels.
The receiver inputs withstand an input overvoltage up
to ±25V and provide input terminating resistors with

Low-Power Receive Mode
The low-power receive mode feature of the MAX223,
MAX242, and MAX245–MAX249 puts the IC into shutdown mode but still allows it to receive information. This
is important for applications where systems are periodically awakened to look for activity. Using low-power
receive mode, the system can still receive a signal that
will activate it on command and prepare it for communication at faster data rates. This operation conserves
system power.
Negative Threshold—MAX243
The MAX243 is pin compatible with the MAX232A, differing only in that RS-232 cable fault protection is removed
on one of the two receiver inputs. This means that control
lines such as CTS and RTS can either be driven or left
unconnected without interrupting communication.
Different cables are not needed to interface with different
pieces of equipment.
The input threshold of the receiver without cable fault
protection is -0.8V rather than +1.4V. Its output goes
positive only if the input is connected to a control line
that is actively driven negative. If not driven, it defaults
to the 0 or “OK to send” state. Normally‚ the MAX243’s
other receiver (+1.4V threshold) is used for the data line
(TD or RD)‚ while the negative threshold receiver is connected to the control line (DTR‚ DTS‚ CTS‚ RTS, etc.).
Other members of the RS-232 family implement the
optional cable fault protection as specified by EIA/TIA232E specifications. This means a receiver output goes
high whenever its input is driven negative‚ left unconnected‚ or shorted to ground. The high output tells the
serial communications IC to stop sending data. To
avoid this‚ the control lines must either be driven or
connected with jumpers to an appropriate positive voltage level.
Shutdown—MAX222–MAX242
On the MAX222‚ MAX235‚ MAX236‚ MAX240‚ and
MAX241‚ all receivers are disabled during shutdown.
On the MAX223 and MAX242‚ two receivers continue to
operate in a reduced power mode when the chip is in
shutdown. Under these conditions‚ the propagation
delay increases to about 2.5µs for a high-to-low input
transition. When in shutdown, the receiver acts as a
CMOS inverter with no hysteresis. The MAX223 and
MAX242 also have a receiver output enable input (EN
for the MAX242 and EN for the MAX223) that allows
receiver output control independent of SHDN (SHDN
for MAX241). With all other devices‚ SHDN (SHDN for
MAX241) also disables the receiver outputs.
The MAX225 provides five transmitters and five
receivers‚ while the MAX245 provides ten receivers and
eight transmitters. Both devices have separate receiver
and transmitter-enable controls. The charge pumps
turn off and the devices shut down when a logic high is
applied to the ENT input. In this state, the supply current drops to less than 25µA and the receivers continue
to operate in a low-power receive mode. Driver outputs
enter a high-impedance state (three-state mode). On
the MAX225‚ all five receivers are controlled by the
ENR input. On the MAX245‚ eight of the receiver outputs are controlled by the ENR input‚ while the remaining two receivers (RA5 and RB5) are always active.
RA1–RA4 and RB1–RB4 are put in a three-state mode
when ENR is a logic high.
Receiver and Transmitter Enable
Control Inputs
The MAX225 and MAX245–MAX249 feature transmitter
and receiver enable controls.
The receivers have three modes of operation: full-speed
receive (normal active)‚ three-state (disabled)‚ and lowpower receive (enabled receivers continue to function
at lower data rates). The receiver enable inputs control
the full-speed receive and three-state modes. The
transmitters have two modes of operation: full-speed
transmit (normal active) and three-state (disabled). The
transmitter enable inputs also control the shutdown
mode. The device enters shutdown mode when all
transmitters are disabled. Enabled receivers function in
the low-power receive mode when in shutdown.
______________________________________________________________________________________

MAX220–MAX249
nominal 5kΩ values. The receivers implement Type 1
interpretation of the fault conditions of V.28 and
EIA/TIA-232E.
The receiver input hysteresis is typically 0.5V with a
guaranteed minimum of 0.2V. This produces clear output transitions with slow-moving input signals, even
with moderate amounts of noise and ringing. The
receiver propagation delay is typically 600ns and is
independent of input swing direction.
MAX220–MAX249
+5V-Powered, Multichannel RS-232
Drivers/Receivers
Tables 1a–1d define the control states. The MAX244
has no control pins and is not included in these tables.
The MAX246 has ten receivers and eight drivers with
two control pins, each controlling one side of the
device. A logic high at the A-side control input (ENA)
causes the four A-side receivers and drivers to go into
a three-state mode. Similarly, the B-side control input
(ENB) causes the four B-side drivers and receivers to
go into a three-state mode. As in the MAX245, one Aside and one B-side receiver (RA5 and RB5) remain
active at all times. The entire device is put into shutdown mode when both the A and B sides are disabled
(ENA = ENB = +5V).
The MAX247 provides nine receivers and eight drivers
with four control pins. The ENRA and ENRB receiver
enable inputs each control four receiver outputs. The
ENTA and ENTB transmitter enable inputs each control
four drivers. The ninth receiver (RB5) is always active.
The device enters shutdown mode with a logic high on
both ENTA and ENTB.
The MAX248 provides eight receivers and eight drivers
with four control pins. The ENRA and ENRB receiver
enable inputs each control four receiver outputs. The
ENTA and ENTB transmitter enable inputs control four
drivers each. This part does not have an always-active
receiver. The device enters shutdown mode and transmitters go into a three-state mode with a logic high on
both ENTA and ENTB.
16
The MAX249 provides ten receivers and six drivers with
four control pins. The ENRA and ENRB receiver enable
inputs each control five receiver outputs. The ENTA
and ENTB transmitter enable inputs control three drivers each. There is no always-active receiver. The
device enters shutdown mode and transmitters go into
a three-state mode with a logic high on both ENTA and
ENTB. In shutdown mode, active receivers operate in a
low-power receive mode at data rates up to 20kb/s.
__________Applications Information
Figures 5 through 25 show pin configurations and typical operating circuits. In applications that are sensitive
to power-supply noise, VCC should be decoupled to
ground with a capacitor of the same value as C1 and
C2 connected as close as possible to the device.
