AVA A
SPI/I2C UART with 128-Word FIFOs
and Internal Oscillator
Features
The MAX3107 is an advanced universal asynchronous
receiver-transmitter (UART) with 128 words each of
receive and transmit first-in/first-out (FIFO) that can be
controlled through I2C or high-speed SPI™. An internal
oscillator reduces the need for an external crystal or
clock source. The 2x and 4x rate modes allow a maximum of 24Mbps data rates. A phase-locked loop (PLL),
prescaler, and fractional baud-rate generator allow for
high-resolution baud-rate programming and minimize
the dependency of baud rate on reference clock frequency.
S Tiny 24-Pin, Lead-Free TQFN (3.5mm x 3.5mm)
Autosleep and shutdown modes help reduce power
consumption during periods of inactivity. A low 640µA
(typ) supply current and tiny 24-pin TQFN (3.5mm x
3.5mm) package make the MAX3107 ideal for low-power
portable devices.
S Auto RTS/CTS and XON/XOFF Flow Control
Integrated logic-level translation on the controller and
transceiver (RX/TX and RTS/CTS) interfaces enable use
with a wide selection of RS-232/RS-485 transceivers.
S SIR- and MIR-Compliant IrDA Encoder/Decoder
Automatic hardware and software flow control with
selectable FIFO interrupt triggering offloads low-level
activity from the host controller. Automatic half-duplex
transceiver control with programmable setup and hold
times allow the MAX3107 to be used in high-speed applications, for example Profibus-DP.
The MAX3107 is ideal for use in portable devices,
industrial applications, and automotive applications. The
MAX3107 is available in a 24-pin SSOP package and a
24-pin TQFN package. It is specified over the -40NC to
+85NC extended ambient temperature range.

SPI/I2C UART with 128-Word FIFOs
and Internal Oscillator
The MAX3107 UART is a bridge between an SPI/
MICROWIRE™ or I2C microprocessor bus and an
asynchronous serial-data communication link, such as
RS-485, RS-232, or IrDA. The MAX3107 contains an
advanced UART, a fractional baud-rate generator, and
four GPIOs. The MAX3107 is configured and monitored,
and data is written and read from 8-bit registers through
SPI or I2C. These registers are organized by related
function as shown in the Register Map.
available and ready to be filled. The transmit FIFO trigger generates an interrupt when the transmit FIFO level
is above the programmed trigger level. The host then
knows to throttle data writing to the transmit FIFO.
The host can read out the number of words present in each
of the FIFOs through the TxFIFOLvl and RxFIFOLvl registers.
Transmitter Operation
Figure 3 shows the structure of the transmitter with the
TxFIFO. The transmit FIFO can hold up to 128 words that
are written to it through THR.
The host controller loads and transmits data into the
Transmit Holding register (THR) through SPI or I2C. This
data is automatically pushed into the transmit FIFO and
sent out at TX. The MAX3107 adds START, STOP, and
parity bits to the data and sends the data out at the
selected baud rate. The clock configuration registers
determine the baud rate, clock source selection, and
clock frequency prescaling.
The current number of words in the TxFIFO can be read
out through the TxFIFOLvl register. The transmit FIFO
can be programmed to generate an interrupt when a
programmed number of words are present in the TxFIFO
through the FIFOTrgLvl register. The TxFIFO interrupt
trigger level is selectable through FIFOTrgLvl[3:0]. When
the transmit FIFO fill level reaches the programmed trigger level, the ISR[4] interrupt is set.
The receiver in the MAX3107 detects a START bit as a
high-to-low RX transition. An internal clock samples this
data. The received data is automatically placed in the
receive FIFO and can then be read out of the RxFIFO
through the RHR.
The transmit FIFO is empty when ISR[5]: TxEmtyInt is set.
ISR[5] turns high when the transmitter starts transmitting the last word in the TxFIFO. Hence, the transmitter
is completely empty after ISR[5] is set with an additional delay equal to the length of a complete character
(including START, parity, and STOP bits).
Register Set
The MAX3107 has a flat register structure without shadow registers. The registers are 8 bits wide. The MAX3107
registers have some similarities to the 16C550 registers.
Receive and Transmit FIFOs
The UART’s receiver and the transmitter each have a
128-word deep FIFO, reducing the intervals that the host
processor needs to dedicate for high-speed, high-volume data transfer. As the data rates of the asynchronous
RX, TX interfaces increase and get closer to those of the
host controller’s SPI/I2C data rates, UART management
and flow control can make up a significant portion of the
host’s activity. By increasing FIFO size, the host is interrupted less often and can utilize SPI/I2C burst data block
transfers to/from the FIFOs.
FIFO trigger levels can generate interrupts to the host
controller, signaling that programmed FIFO fill levels
have been reached. The transmitter and receiver trigger levels are programmed through FIFOTrgLvl with a
resolution of eight FIFO locations. When a receive FIFO
trigger is generated, the host knows that the receive
FIFO has a defined number of words waiting to be read
out or that a known number of vacant FIFO locations are
The contents of the TxFIFO and RxFIFOs are both
cleared through MODE2[1]: FIFORst.

does not receive any further data. The RX input logic can
be inverted through IrDA[4]: RxInv.
The TX output logic can be inverted through IrDA[5]:
TxInv. If not stated otherwise, all transmitter logic
described in this data sheet assumes IrDA[5] is 0.
When operating in standard (i.e., not 2x or 4x rate) mode,
the MAX3107 checks that the binary logic level of the
three samples per received bit are identical. If any of
the three samples have differing logic levels, then noise
on the transmission line has affected the received data
and is considered to be noisy. This noise indication is
reflected in the LSR[5]: RxNoise bit for each received
byte. Parity errors are another indication of noise, but are
not as sensitive.
Receiver Operation
The receiver expects the format of the data at RX to be
as shown in Figure 4. The quiescent logic state is a high
and the first bit (the START bit) is logic-low. The receiver
samples the data near the midbit instant (Figure 4). The
received words and their associated errors are deposited into the receive FIFO. Errors and status information
are stored for every received word (Figure 6). The host
reads data out of the receive FIFO through the Receive
Holding register (RHR), oldest data first. The status
information of the current word in the RHR is located in
the Line Status register (LSR). After a word is read out
of the RHR, the LSR contains the status information for
that word.
The following three error conditions are determined for
each received word: parity error, framing error, and
noise on the line. Line noise is detected by checking the
consistency of the logic of the three samples (Figure 5).
The receiver can be turned off through MODE1[0]:
RxDisabl. When this bit is set to 1, the MAX3107 turns the
receiver off immediately following the current word and
Line Noise Indication
Clocking and Baud-Rate Generation
The MAX3107 can be clocked by its internal oscillator,
an external crystal, or an external clock source. Figure 7
shows a simplified diagram of the clocking circuitry.
When the MAX3107 is clocked by the internal oscillator
or a crystal, the STSInt[5]: ClockReady indicates when
the clocks have settled and the baud-rate generator is
ready for stable operation.
The baud-rate clock can be routed to the RTS/CLKOUT
output. The clock rate is 16x the baud rate in standard
operating mode, and 8x the baud rate in 2x rate mode.
In 4x rate mode, the CLKOUT frequency is 4x the
programmed baud rate. If the fractional portion of the
baud-rate generator is used, the clock is not regular and
exhibits jitter.

can be configured to multiply the input clock rate by a
factor of 6, 48, 96, or 144 through PLLConfig[7:6]. The
predivider, located between the input clock and the PLL,
allows division of the input clock by a factor between 1
and 63 by writing to PLLConfig[5:0]. See the PLLConfig

The integer and fractional divisors are calculated through
the divisor, D:
fREF
D=
16 × BaudRate
where fREF is the reference frequency input to the baudrate generator and D is the ideal divisor. fREF must be
less than 96MHz. In 2x and 4x rate modes, replace the
divisor 16 by 8 or 4, respectively.
The integer divisor portion, DIV, of the divisor, D, is
obtained by truncating D:
DIV = TRUNC(D)
DIV can be a maximum of 16 bits wide and is programmed into the 2-byte-wide registers DIVMSB and
DIVLSB. The minimum allowed for DIVLSB is 1.
The fractional portion of the divisor, FRACT, is a 4-bit
nibble, which is programmed into BRGConfig[3:0]. The
maximum value is 15, allowing the divisor to be programmed with a resolution of 0.0625. FRACT is calculated as:
FRACT = ROUND(16 x (D-DIV))
The following is an example of calculating the divisor.
It is based on a required baud rate of 190kbaud and a
reference input frequency of 28.23MHz and 1x (default)
rate mode.
The ideal divisor is calculated as:
D = 28,230,000/(16 x 190,000)
= 9.2861842105263157894736842105263
hence DIV = 9.
FRACT =
ROUND(4.5789473684210526315789473684211) = 5
DIV[LSB]
DIV[MSB]
FRACT
so that DIVMSB = 0x00, DIVLSB = 0x09, and
BRGConfig[3:0] = 0x05.
The resulting (actual) baud rate can be calculated as:
BR ACTUAL =
fREF
16 × D ACTUAL
For this example: DACTUAL = 9 + 5/16 = 9.3125
where
DACTUAL = DIV + FRACT/16
and
BRACTUAL= 28,230,000/(16 x 9.3125)
= 189463.0872483221476510067114094 baud
Thus, the baud rate is within 0.000028% of the ideal rate.
2x and 4x Rate Modes
To support higher baud rates than possible with standard (16x sampling) operation, the MAX3107 offers 2x
and 4x rate modes. In this case, the reference clock rate
only needs to be either 8x or 4x of the baud rate, respectively. The bits are only sampled once at the midbit
instant instead of the usual three samples to determine
the logic value of the bits. This reduces the tolerance to
line noise on the received data. The 2x and 4x modes
are selectable through BRGConfig[5:4]. Note that IrDA
encoding and decoding does not operate in 2x and 4x
modes.
When 2x rate mode is selected, the actual baud rate is
twice the rate programmed into the baud-rate generator. If 4x rate mode is enabled, the actual baud rate on
the line is quadruple that of programmed baud rate
(Figure 8).

It is up to the host processor to filter out the data intended for its address. Alternatively, the auto data-filtering
mode can be used to automatically filter out the data
intended for the station’s specific 9-bit mode address.
Auto Data Filtering in Multidrop Mode
In multidrop mode, the MAX3107 can be configured
to automatically filter out data that is not meant for its
address. The address is user-definable either by programming a register value or a combination of a register
values and GPIO hardware inputs. Use either XOFF2
or XOFF2[7:4] in combination with GPIO_ to define the
address.
Enable multidrop mode by setting MODE2[6]: MultiDrop
to 1 and enable auto data filtering by setting MODE2[4]:
SpecialChr to 1.
When using register bits in combination with GPIO_ to
define the address, the MSB of the address is written to
XOFF2[7:4] register bits, while the LSBs of the address
are defined through the GPIOs. To enable this mode,
set FlowCtrl[2]: GPIAddr, MODE2[4]: SpecialChr, and
MODE2[6]: MultiDrop to 1. GPIO_ is automatically read
when FlowCtrl[2]: GPIAddr is set to 1, and the address
is updated on logic changes at GPIO_.
TRANSMITTER
TX
In the auto data-filtering mode, the MAX3107 automatically accepts data that is meant for its address and
places this into the receive FIFO, while it discards data
that is not meant for its address. The received address
word is not put into the FIFO.
Auto Transceiver Direction Control
In some half-duplex communication systems, the transceiver’s transmitter must be turned off when data is
being received so as not to load the bus. This is the
case in half-duplex RS-485 communication. Similarly
in full-duplex multidrop communication, like RS-485 or
RS-422/V.11, only one transmitter can be enabled at any
one time and the others must be disabled. The MAX3107
can automatically enable/disable a transceiver’s transmitter and/or receiver. This relieves the host processor
of this time-critical task.
The RTS/CLKOUT output is used to control the transceivers’ transmit enable input and is automatically set high
when the MAX3107’s transmitter starts transmission.
This occurs as soon as data is present in the transmit
FIFO. Auto transceiver direction control is enabled
through MODE1[4]: TrnscvCtrl. Figure 9 shows a typical
MAX3107 connection in a RS-485 application.
The RTS/CLKOUT output can be set high in advance
of TX transmission by a programmable time period
called the setup time (Figure 10). The setup time is programmed through HDplxDelay[7:4]. Similarly, the RTS/
CLKOUT signal can be held high for a programmable
period after the transmitter has completed transmission.
The hold time is programmed through HDplxDelay[3:0].

Multidrop Mode
In multidrop mode, also known as 9-bit mode, the word
length is 8 bits and a 9th bit is used for distinguishing
between an address and a data word. Multidrop mode is
enabled through MODE2[6]: MultiDrop. Parity checking
is disabled and an SpclCharInt[5]: MultiDropInt interrupt
is generated when an address (9th bit set) is received.

Echo Suppression
The MAX3107 can suppress echoed data, sometimes
found in half-duplex communication (e.g., RS-485 and
IrDA). If the transceiver’s receiver is not turned off while
the transceiver is transmitting, copies (echoes) are
received by the UART. The MAX3107’s receiver can
block the reception of this echoed data by enabling echo
suppression. Set MODE2[7]: EchoSuprs to 1 to enable
echo suppression.
The MAX3107 receiver can block echoes with a long
round trip delay. The transmitter can be configured
to remain enabled after the end of transmission for a
programmable period of time: the hold time delay. The
hold time delay is set by the HDplxDelay[3:0] register.
See the HDplxDelay description in the Detailed Register
Descriptions section for more information.
Auto transceiver direction control and echo suppression
can operate simultaneously.

Auto Hardware Flow Control
The MAX3107 is capable of auto hardware (RTS and
CTS) flow control without the need for host processor intervention. When AutoRTS control is enabled,
the MAX3107 automatically controls the RTS handshake without the need for host processor intervention.
AutoCTS flow control separately turns the MAX3107’s
transmitter on and off based on the CTS input. AutoRTS
and AutoCTS flow control are independently enabled
through FlowCtrl[1:0].
AutoRTS Control
AutoRTS flow control ensures that the receive FIFO does
not overflow by signaling to the far-end UART to stop
data transmission. The MAX3107 does this automatically by controlling RTS/CLKOUT. AutoRTS flow control
is enabled through FlowCtrl[0]: AutoRTS. The HALT and
RESUME levels determine the threshold levels at which
RTS/CLKOUT is asserted and deasserted. HALT and

RESUME are programmed in FlowLvl. With differing
HALT and RESUME levels, hysteresis can be defined for
the RTS/CLKOUT transitions.
When the RxFIFO fill level reaches the HALT level
(FlowLvl[3:0]), the MAX3107 deasserts RTS/CLKOUT.
RTS/CLKOUT remains deasserted until the RxFIFO is
emptied and the number of words falls to the RESUME
level.
Interrupts are not generated when the HALT and
RESUME levels are reached. This allows the host controller to be completely disengaged from RTS flow control
management.
AutoCTS Control
When AutoCTS flow control is enabled, the UART automatically starts transmitting data when the CTS input is
logic-level low and stops transmitting when CTS is logichigh. This frees the host processor from managing this
timing-critical flow-control task. AutoCTS flow control is
enabled through FlowCtrl[1]: AutoCTS. During AutoCTS
flow control the CTS interrupt works normally. Set the
IRQEn[7]: CTSIntEn to 0 to disable CTS interrupts; then
ISR[7]: CTSInt is fixed to logic 0 and the host does not
receive interrupts from CTS. If CTS is set high during
transmission, the MAX3107 completes transmission of
the current word and halts transmission afterwards.
Turn the transmitter off by setting MODE1[1] to 1 before
enabling AutoCTS control.
Auto Software (XON/XOFF)
Flow Control
When auto software flow control is enabled, the MAX3107
recognizes and/or sends predefined XON/XOFF characters to control the flow of data across the asynchronous
serial link. Auto flow works autonomously and does not
involve host intervention, similar to auto hardware flow
control. To reduce the chance of receiving corrupted data
that equals a single-byte XON or XOFF character, the
MAX3107 allows for double-wide (16-bit) XON/XOFF characters. XON and XOFF are programmed into the XON1,
XON2 and XOFF1, XOFF2 registers.
FlowCtrl[7:3] are used for enabling and configuring auto
software flow control. An ISR[1] interrupt is generated
when XON or XOFF are received and details are found in
SpclCharInt. The IRQ can be masked by setting IRQEn[1]:
SpclChrIEn to 0.
Software flow control consists of transmitter control and
receiver overflow control, which can operate independently of each other.
______________________________________________________________________________________ 21
MAX3107
SPI/I2C UART with 128-Word FIFOs
and Internal Oscillator
Transmitter Control
If auto transmitter control (FlowCtrl[5:4]) is enabled, the
receiver compares all received words with the XOFF and
XON characters. If a XOFF is received, the MAX3107
halts its transmitter from sending further data. The
receiver is not affected and continues reception. Upon
receiving an XON, the transmitter restarts sending data.
The received XON and XOFF characters are filtered out
and are not put into the receive FIFO, as they do not have
significance to the higher layer protocol.
and the registers remain active. Thus, the host controller can access the resisters. To enter sleep mode, set
MODE1[5] to 1. To wake up, set MODE1[5] to 0.
Turn the transmitter off (MODE1[1]) before enabling
transmitter control.
• There are no pending IRQ interrupts.
Receiver Overflow Control
If auto receiver overflow control (FlowCtrl[7:6]) is enabled,
the MAX3107 automatically sends XOFF and XON control characters to the far-end UART to avoid receiver
overflow. XOFF1/XOFF2 are sent when the receive FIFO
fill level reaches the HALT value set in the FlowLvl register. When the host controller reads data from the Receive
FIFO to a level equal to the RESUME level programmed
into the FlowLvl register, XON1/XON2 are automatically
sent to the far-end station to signal it to resume data
transmission.
If dual-character (XON1 and XON2/XOFF1 and XOFF2)
flow control is selected, XON1/XOFF1 are transmitted
before XON2/XOFF2.
FIFO Interrupt Triggering
Receive and transmit FIFO fill-dependent interrupts are
generated if FIFO trigger levels are defined. When the
number of words in the FIFOs reach or exceed a trigger
level, as programmed in FIFOTrgLvl, an ISR[3] or ISR[4]
interrupt is generated. There is no relationship between
the trigger levels and the HALT or RESUME levels.
The FIFO trigger level can, for example, be used for a
block data transfer, since it gives the host an indication
when a given block size of data is available for readout
in the teceive FIFO or available for transfer to the transmit
FIFO.
Low-Power Standby Modes
The sleep and shutdown modes reduce power consumption during periods of inactivity. In both sleep and
shutdown modes, the UART disables specific functional
blocks to reduce power consumption.
Forced Sleep Mode
In forced sleep mode, all UART-related on-chip clocking is stopped. The following are inactive: the crystal
oscillator, the internal oscillator, the PLL, the predivider,
the receiver, and the transmitter. The SPI/I2C interface
Autosleep Mode
The MAX3107 can be configured to operate in autosleep
mode by setting MODE1[6] to 1. In autosleep mode, the
MAX3107 automatically enters sleep mode when all the
following conditions are met:
• Both FIFOs are empty.
• T
here is no activity on any input pins for a period equal
to 65,536 UART characters lengths.
The MAX3107 exits autosleep mode as soon as activity
is detected on any of the GPIO_, RX, or CTS inputs.
To manually wake up the MAX3107, set MODE1[6] to 0.
After wake-up is initiated, the internal clock starts up and
a period of time is needed for clock stabilization. The
STSInt[5]: ClockReady bit indicates when the clocks are
stable. If an external clock source is used, the STSInt[5]
bit does not indicate clock stability.
Shutdown Mode
Shutdown mode is the lowest power consumption mode.
In shutdown mode, all the MAX3107 circuitry is off. This
includes the I2C/SPI interface, the registers, the FIFOs,
and clocking circuitry. The LDO is kept on. To enter shutdown mode, connect RST to DGND.
When the RST input is toggled high, the MAX3107 exits
shutdown mode. When the MAX3107 sets IRQ to logichigh, the chip initialization is completed. The MAX3107
needs to be reprogrammed following a shutdown.
Power-Up and IRQ
IRQ has two functions. During normal operation
(MODE1[7] is 1), IRQ operates as a hardware interrupt
output, whereby the IRQ is active when an interrupt
is pending. An IRQ interrupt is only produced during
normal operation, if at least one of the IRQEn interrupt
enable bits are enabled.
During power-up or following a reset, IRQ has a different function. It is held low until the MAX3107 is ready for
programming following an initialization delay. Once IRQ
goes high, the MAX3107 is ready to be programmed.
The MODE1[7]: IRQSel bit should then be set in order to
enable normal IRQ interrupt operation.
In polled mode, the RevID register can be polled to
check whether the MAX3107 is ready for operation. If
the controller gets a valid response from RevID, then the
MAX3107 is ready for operation.

enable register bit. These are the IRQEn, LSRIntEn,
SpclChrIntEn and STSIntEn registers.
Interrupt Clearing
When an ISR interrupt is pending (i.e., any bit in ISR is
set) and the ISR is subsequently read, the ISR bits and
IRQ are cleared. Both the SpclCharInt and the STSInt
registers also are clear on read (COR). The LSR bits are
only cleared when the source of the interrupt is removed,
not when LSR is read.
Detailed Register Descriptions
The MAX3107 has a flat register structure, without shadow registers, that makes programming and code simple
and efficient. All registers are 8 bits wide.

Every interrupt bit of the four interrupt registers can be
enabled or masked through an associated interrupt

Interrupt Structure
The structure of the interrupt is shown in Figure 13. There
are four interrupt source registers: ISR, LSR, STSInt, and
SpclCharInt. The interrupt sources are divided into toplevel and low-level interrupts. The top-level interrupts
typically occur more often and can be read out directly
through the ISR. The low-level interrupts typically occur
less often and their specific source can be read out
through the LSR, STSInt, or SpclChar registers. The three
LSBs of the ISR point to the low-level interrupt registers
that contain the source detail of the interrupt source.

The IRQEn is used to enable the IRQ physical interrupt. Any of the eight ISR interrupt sources can be enabled to generate an IRQ. The IRQEn bits only influence the IRQ output and do not have any effect on the ISR contents or behavior.
Every one of the IRQEn bits operates on an ISR bit.
Bit 7: CTSIEn
The CTSIEn bit enables IRQ interrupt generation when the CTSInt interrupt bit is set in the ISR. Set CTSIEn bit low to
disable IRQ generation from CTSInt.

The ISR provides an overview of all interrupts generated in the MAX3107. These interrupts are cleared on reading the
ISR. When the MAX3107 is operated in polled mode, the ISR can be polled to establish the UART’s status. In interruptdriven mode, IRQ interrupts are enabled through the appropriate IRQEn bits. The ISR contents give direct information
on the cause for the interrupt or point to other registers that contain more detailed information.
Bit 7: CTSInt
The CTSInt is set when a logic state transition occurs at the CTS input. This bit is cleared after ISR is read. The current
logic state of the CTS input can be read out through the LSR[7]: CTSbit.
Bit 6: RxEmptyInt
The RxEmptyInt is set when the receive FIFO is empty. This bit is cleared after ISR is read. Its meaning can be inverted
by setting the MODE2[3]: RxEmtyInv bit.
Bit 5: TxEmptyInt
The TxEmptyInt bit is set when the transmit FIFO is empty. This bit is cleared once ISR is read.
Bit 4: TFifoTriglnt
The TFifoTrigInt bit is set when the number of characters in the transmit FIFO is equal to or greater than the transmit
FIFO trigger level defined in FIFOTrgLvl[3:0]. TFifoTrigInt is cleared when the transmit FIFO level falls below the trigger
level or after the ISR is read. It can be used as a warning that the transmit FIFO is nearing overflow.
Bit 3: RFifoTriglnt
The RFifoTrigInt bit is set when the receive FIFO fill level reaches the receive FIFO trigger level, as defined in the
FIFOTrgLvl[7:4]. This can be used as an indication that the receive FIFO is nearing overrun. It can also be used to
report that a known number of words are available which can be read out in one block. The meaning of RFifoTrigInt
can be inverted through MODE2[2]. RFifoTrigInt is cleared when ISR is read.
Bit 2: STSInt
The STSInt bit is set high when any bit in the STSInt register that is enabled through a STSIntEn bit is high. The STSInt
bit is cleared on reading ISR.
Bit 1: SpCharlnt
The SpCharInt bit is set high when a special character is received, a line BREAK is detected, or an address character is
received in multidrop mode. The cause for the SpCharInt interrupt can be read from the SpclCharInt register, if enabled
through the SpclChrIntEn bits. The SpCharInt interrupt is cleared when the ISR is read.
Bit 0: LSRErrlnt
The LSRErrInt bit is set high when any LSR bits, which are enabled through the LSRIntEn, are set. This bit is cleared
after the ISR is read.

The LSR shows all errors related to the oldest word in the RxFIFO, waiting to be read out of the RHR. The LSR bits are
not cleared upon a read; these bits stay set until the character with errors is read out of the RHR. The LSR also reflects
the current state of the CTS input.
Bit 7: CTSbit
The CTSbit reflects the current logic state of the CTS input. This bit is cleared when the CTS input is low. Following a
power-up or reset, the logic state of the CTS bit depends on the CTS input.
Bit 6: No Function
Bit 5: RxNoise
If noise is detected on the RX input during reception of a character, the RxNoise bit is set for that character. The
RxNoise bit indicates that there was noise on the line while the current character residing in the RHR was received.
RxNoise is cleared when the “noisy character” in the RHR is read out. The RxNoise flag can generate an ISR[0] interrupt, if enabled through LSRIntEn[5].
Bit 4: RxBreak
If a line BREAK (RX input low for a period longer than the programmed character duration) is detected, a BREAK
character is put in the RxFIFO and the RxBreak bit is set for this character. A BREAK character is represented by an
all-zeros data character. The RxBreak bit distinguishes a regular character with all zeros from a BREAK character.
LSR[4] corresponds to the current character in the RHR. RxBreak is cleared when the BREAK character is read out of
the RHR. The RxBreak flag can generate an ISR[0] interrupt, if enabled through LSRIntEn[4].
Bit 3: FrameErr
The FrameErr bit is set high when the received data frame does not match the expected frame format in length.
FrameErr corresponds to the frame error of the current character in the RHR. A frame error is related to errors in
expected STOP bits. This error is cleared when the affected character is read out of the RHR.
The FrameErr flag can generate an ISR[0] interrupt, if enabled, through LSRIntEn[3].
Bit 2: RxParityErr
If the parity computed on the character being received does not match the received character’s parity bit, the
RxParityErr bit is set for that character. RxParityErr indicates a parity error for the current word residing in the RHR. The
RxParityErr bit is cleared when the affected character is read out of the RHR.
In 9-bit multidrop mode (MODE2[6] = 1) the receiver does not check parity and the RxParityErr represents the 9th (i.e.,
address or data) bit.
The RxParityErr flag can generate an ISR[0] interrupt, if enabled through LSRIntEn[2].
Bit 1: RxOverrun
If the receive FIFO is full and additional data is received that does not fit into the receive FIFO, the RxOverrun bit is set.
The receive FIFO retains the data in it and discards all new data that does not fit into it. The RxOverrun indication is
cleared after the LSR is read or the RxFIFO level falls below its maximum. The RxOverrun flag can generate an ISR[0]
interrupt, if enabled through LSRIntEn[1].

Bit 0: RTimeout
The RTimeout bit indicates that stale data is present in the receive FIFO. RTimeout is set when the youngest character
resides in the RxFIFO for longer than the period programmed into the RxTimeOut register. The timeout counter restarts
when at least one character is read out of the RxFIFO or a new character is received by the RxFIFO. If the value in
RxTimeOut is zero, RTimeout is disabled. RTimeout is cleared when a word is read out of the RxFIFO or a new word is
received. The RTimeout flag can generate an ISR[0] interrupt, if enabled through LSRIntEn[0].

mode. This status bit is cleared when the clock is disabled and cannot be cleared upon reading. The SleepInt bit can
generate an ISR[2]: STSInt interrupt, if enabled through STSIntEn[6].
Bit 5: ClockReady
The ClockReady bit is set high when the clock, the divider, and the PLL have settled, and the MAX3107 is ready for

Bit 7: IRQSel
Depending on the logic level of the IRQSel bit, IRQ has different meanings. After a hardware or software (MODE2[0])
reset, the IRQSel bit is set low and after a short delay, the IRQ output signals the end of the MAX3107’s power-up
sequence. The IRQ is low during power-up and transitions to high when the MAX3107 is ready to be programmed.
IRQSel can then be set high. In this case, IRQ becomes a regular interrupt output that signals pending interrupts, as
indicated in the ISR. Details of the IRQSel are described in the Power-Up and IRQ section.
Bit 6: AutoSleep
Set the AutoSleep bit high to set the MAX3107 to automatically enter low-power sleep mode after a period of no activity (see the Autosleep Mode section). A STSInt[6]: SleepInt interrupt is generated when the MAX3107 goes to sleep or
wakes up.
Bit 5: ForcedSleep
Set the ForcedSleep bit high to force the MAX3107 into low-power sleep mode (see the Sleep Mode section). The current sleep or wake state can be read out through this ForcedSleep bit, even when the UART is in sleep mode.
Bit 4: TrnscvCtrl
This bit enables the automatic transceiver direction control. Set TrnscvCtrl high so that RTS/CLKOUT automatically
controls the transceiver’s transmit/receive enable/disable inputs. Setting TrnscvCtrl high sets RTS/CLKOUT low so
that the transceiver is in receive mode. When the TxFIFO contains data available for transmission, the auto direction
control sets RTS/CLKOUT high before the transmitter sends out the data. When the transmitter is empty, RTS/CLKOUT
is automatically forced low again.
Setup and hold times of RTS/CLKOUT with respect to the TX output can be defined through the HDplxDelay register.
A transmitter empty interrupt ISR[5] is generated when the transmitter is empty.
Bit 3: RTSHiZ
Set the RTSHiZ bit high to three-state RTS/CLKOUT.
Bit 2: TxHiZ
Set the TxHiz bit high to three-state the TX output.
Bit 1: TxDisabl
Set the TxDisabl bit high to disable transmission. If the TxDisabl bit is set high during transmission, the transmitter completes sending out the current character and then ceases transmission. Data still present in the transmit FIFO remains
in the TxFIFO. The TX output is set to logic-high after transmission.
Bit 0: RxDisabl
Set the RxDisabl bit high to disable the receiver so that the receiver stops receiving data. All data present in the receive
FIFO remains in the RxFIFO.

Bit 7: EchoSuprs
Set the EchoSuprs bit high so that the MAX3107’s receiver gates any data it receives when its transmitter is busy
transmitting. In half-duplex communication (like IrDA and RS-485) this allows blocking of the locally echoed data. The
receiver can block data for an extended time after the transmitter ceases transmission by programming a hold time in
HDplxDelay[3:0] bits.
Bit 6: MultiDrop
Set the MultiDrop bit high to enable the 9-bit multidrop mode. If this bit is set, parity checking is not performed by the
receiver and parity generation is not done by the transmitter. The parity error bit, LSR[2], has a different meaning in
this case. The parity error bit represents the 9th bit (address/data indication) that is received with each 9-bit character.
Bit 5: Loopback
Set the Loopback bit high to enable internal local loopback mode. This internally connects TX to RX and also RTS/
CLKOUT to CTS. In local loopback mode, the TX output and the RX output are disconnected from the internal transmitter and receiver. The TX output is in three-state. The RTS output remains connected to the internal logic and reflects the
logic state programmed in LCR[7]. The CTS input is disconnected from RTS and the internal logic. CTS thus remains
in a high-impedance state.
Bit 4: SpecialChr
The SpecialChr bit enables special character detection. The receiver can detect up to four special characters, as
selected in FlowCtrl:[5:4] and defined in the XON1, XON2, XOFF1 and/or XOFF2 registers, possibly in combination with
GPIO_ inputs, enabled through FlowCtrl[2]: GPIAddr. When a special character is received it is put into the RxFIFO and
a special character detect interrupt ISR[1] is generated.
Special character detection can be used in addition to auto XON/XOFF flow control, if enabled through FlowCtrl[3]. In
this case XON/OFF flow control is then limited to single character XON and XOFF and only two special characters can
then be defined (in XON2 and XOFF2).
Bit 3: RxEmtyInv
The RxEmtyInv bit inverts the meaning of the receiver empty interrupt: ISR[6]: RxEmtyInt. If RxEmtyInv is set low (default
state), the ISR[6] interrupt is generated when the receive FIFO is empty. If the RxEmtyInv is set high, the ISR[6] interrupt
is generated when the receive FIFO contains at least one character (i.e., is not empty).
Bit 2: RxTrigInv
The RxTrigInv bit inverts the meaning of the RxFIFO triggering. When set, an ISR[3]: RFifoTrigInt is generated when
the RxFIFO is emptied to the trigger level: FIFOTrgLvl[7:4]. If the RxTrgInv bit is low (default state), the ISR[3] interrupt
is generated when the RxFIFO fill level that starts from a level below FIFOTrgLvl[7:4] is filled up to the trigger level
programmed into FIFOTrgLvl[7:4].
Bit 1: FIFORst
Set the FIFORst bit high to clear both the receive and transmit FIFOs of all data contents. After the FIFO reset, the
FIFORst bit must then be set back to 0 to continue normal operation.
Bit 0: RST
Set the RST bit high to reset the MAX3107. The SPI/I2C bus stays active during this reset, therefore, communication
with the MAX3107 is possible. All register bits are reset to their reset state and all FIFOs are cleared.
Once set high, the RST bit must be cleared by writing a 0 to RST.

The RTS bit gives direct control of the RTS/CLKOUT output logic. If the RTS bit is set high, then RTS/CLKOUT is set to
logic-high. The RTS bit only works if the CLKSource[7]:CLKtoRTS is not set high.
Bit 6: TxBreak
Set TxBreak to 1 to generate a line break whereby the TX output is held low until TxBreak is set to 0.
Bit 5: ForceParity
ForceParity enables forced parity, as used in 9-bit multidrop communication. Set both LCR[3] and ForceParity to use
forced parity. The parity bit is forced high by the transmitter if LCR[4] low. The parity bit is forced low if LCR[4] is high.
Bit 4: EvenParity
Set EvenParity high to enable even parity. If EvenParity is set low odd parity generation/checking is used.
Bit 3: ParityEn
The ParityEn bit enables the use of a parity bit on the TX and RX interfaces. When ParityEn is low, then parity usage
is disabled. When ParityEn is set to 1, the transmitter generates the parity bit as defined in LCR[4] and the receiver
checks the received parity bit.
Bit 2: StopBits
This defines the number of STOP bits and depends on the length of the word programmed in LCR[1:0] (Table 1). When
StopBits is high and the word length is 5, the transmitter generates a word with a STOP bit length equal to 1.5. Under
these conditions, the receiver recognizes a STOP bit length greater than a 1-bit duration.
Bits 1 and 0: Length[1:0]
The Length[1:0] bits configure the length of the words that the transmitter generates and the receiver checks for at the
asynchronous TX and RX interfaces (Table 2).

is dependent on the character length, parity, and STOP bit setting and is inversely proportional to the baud rate. If the

The HDplxDelay register allows programming setup and hold times between RTS/CLKOUT and the TX output in auto
transceiver direction control mode: MODE1[4] is 1. The Hold[3:0] time can also be used for echo suppression in halfduplex communication. HDplxDelay also functions in the 2x and 4x rate modes.
Bits 7–4: Setup[7:4]
The Setupx bits define a setup time for RTS/CLKOUT to transition high before the transmitter starts transmission of its
first character in auto transceiver direction control mode: MODE1[4]. This allows the MAX3107 to account for skew differences of the external transmitter’s enable delay and propagation delays. Setup[7:4] can also be used to fix a stable
state on the transmission line prior to start of transmission.
The unit of the HDplxDelay setup time delay is a 1-bit interval, making this delay baud-rate dependent. The maximum
delay is 15-bit intervals.
Bits 3–0: Hold[3:0]
The Hold[3:0] bits define a hold time for RTS/CLKOUT to be held stable (high) after the transmitter ends transmission
of its last character in auto transceiver direction control mode: MODE1[4]. RTS/CLKOUT turns low after the last STOP
bit was sent with a Hold[3:0] delay. This keeps the external transmitter enabled during the hold duration.
The second factor that the Hold[3:0] bits define, is a delay in echo suppression mode, MODE2[7]. See the Echo
Suppression section for more information.
The unit of the HDplxDelay hold time delay is a 1-bit interval, making the delay baud-rate dependent. The maximum
delay is 15-bit intervals.

FlowLvl is used for selecting the RxFIFO threshold levels used for software (XON/XOFF) and hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control.
Bits 7–4: Resume[7:4]
Resume[7:4] sets the transmit FIFO threshold at which an XON is automatically sent or RTS/CLKOUT is automatically set low. This signals the far-end station to start transmission. The actual threshold level is calculated as 8 times
Resume[7:4]. The resulting level is in the range of 0 to 120.
Bits 3–0: Halt[3:0]
Halt[3:0] sets a receive FIFO threshold level at which an XOFF is automatically sent or RTS/CLKOUT is automatically set
high, depending on whether auto software or hardware flow control is enabled. This signals the far-end station to halt
transmission. The actual threshold level is calculated as 8 times Halt[3:0]. Hence, the selectable threshold granularity
is eight. The resulting level is in the range of 0 to 120.

Bits 7–4: RxTrig[3:0]
These 4 bits allow definition of the receive FIFO threshold level at which an ISR[3] interrupt is generated. This can be
used to signal that the receive FIFO is nearing overflow or that a predefined number of FIFO locations are available for
being read out in one block.
The actual FIFO trigger level is 8 times RxTrig[7:4], hence, the selectable threshold granularity is eight.
Bits 3–0: TxTrig[3:0]
These 4 bits allow definition of the transmit FIFO threshold level at which the MAX3107 generates an ISR[4] interrupt.
This can be used to manage data flow to the transmit FIFO. For example, if the trigger level is defined near the bottom
of the TxFIFO, the host knows that a predefined number of FIFO locations are available for being written to in one block.
Alternatively, if the trigger level is set near the top of the FIFO, the host is warned when the transmit FIFO is nearing
overflow, if written to on a word-by-word basis.
The actual FIFO trigger level is 8 times TxTrig[3:0], hence, the selectable threshold granularity is eight.

FlowCtrl[5:4] select which of the XON1, XON2, XOFF1 or/and XOFF2 characters are used for special character detection and/or auto flow control. If auto receiver flow control is enabled through SwFlowEn and FlowCtrl[7:6], the XON and
XOFF characters that the MAX3107 receives are filtered out and are not put into the RxFIFO. Set the SwFlowEn bit to
0 and set MODE2[4] to 1 to only enable special character detection. Under these conditions, auto flow transmit flow
control is not active.
If both special character detection (MODE2[4]) and auto software flow control (FlowCtrl[3]) are to be enabled, XON1
and XOFF1 define the auto flow control characters, while XON2 and XOFF2 define the special character detection
characters.

The SwFlowEn bit enables auto software flow control. The characters used for auto software flow control are selected in
SwFlow[7:4]. If special character detection (MODE2[4] set to 1) is used in addition to auto software flow control, XON1
and XOFF1 are used for flow control, while XON2 and XOFF2 define the special characters.
Bit 2: GPIAddr
The GPIAddr bit, when set, enables that the four GPIO_ inputs are used in conjunction with XOFF2 for the definition of a
special character. This can be used, for example, for defining the address of a RS-485 slave device through hardware.
The GPIO_ inputs logic levels, which define the 4 LSBs of the special character, while the 4 MSBs are defined by the
XOFF2[7:4] bits. If GPIAddr is set, the contents of the XOFF2[3:0] bits are neglected. In this case, the XOFF2[3:0] bits,
when read, also do not reflect the logic on GPIO_.
Bit 1: AutoCTS
The AutoCTS bit enables auto CTS flow control by which the transmitter stops and starts sending data depending on
the logic state at the CTS input. See the Auto Hardware Flow Control section for a description of AutoCTS flow control. Logic changes at the CTS input result in an ISR[7]: CTSInt interrupt. The transmitter must be turned off by setting
MODE1[1] to 1 before AutoCTS is enabled.
Bit 0: AutoRTS
The AutoRTS bit enables auto RTS flow control by which the MAX3107 sets its RTS/CLKOUT output dependent on
the receive FIFO fill level. The FIFO thresholds at which RTS/CLKOUT changes state are set in FlowLvl. See the Auto
Hardware Flow Control section for more information.

CLKSource—Clock Source Register
MAX3107
SPI/I2C UART with 128-Word FIFOs

Serial Controller Interface
The MAX3107 can be controlled through SPI or I2C as
defined by the logic on I2C/SPI. See the Pin Configurations
for further details.
SPI Interface
the register address after each SPI data byte. Efficient
programming of multiple consecutive registers is thus
possible. Chip select, CS/A0, must be kept low during
the whole cycle. The SCLK/SCL clock continues clocking
throughout the burst access cycle. The burst cycle ends
when the SPI master pulls CS/A0 high.
The SPI supports both single-cycle and burst-read/write
access. The SPI master must generate clock and data
signals in SPI MODE0 (i.e., with clock polarity CPOL = 0
and clock phase CPHA = 0).
For example, writing 128 bytes into the TxFIFO can be
achieved by a burst write access through the following
sequence:
SPI Single-Cycle Access
Figure 15 shows a single-cycle read and Figure 16
shows a single-cycle write.
• Send SPI write command
SPI Burst Access
Burst access allows writing and reading in one block by
only defining the initial register address in the SPI command byte. Multiple characters can be loaded into the
transmit FIFO by using the THR (0x00) as the initial burst
read address. Similarly, multiple characters can be read
out of the receiver FIFO by using the RHR (0x00) as the
SPI’s burst read address. If the SPI burst address is different to 0x00, the MAX3107 automatically increments
• Pull CS/A0 low
• Send 128 byes
• Release CS/A0
This takes a total of (1 + 128) x 8 clock cycles.
I2C Interface
The MAX3107 contains an I2C-compatible interface for
data communication with a host processor (SCL and
SDA). The interface supports a clock frequency up to
400kHz. SCL and SDA require pullup resistors that are
connected to a positive supply.

START, STOP, and Repeated START Conditions
When writing to the MAX3107 using I2C, the master
sends a START condition (S) followed by the MAX3107
I2C address. After the address, the master sends
the register address of the register that is to be programmed. The master then ends communication by
issuing a STOP condition (P) to relinquish control of the
bus, or a repeated START condition (Sr) to communicate
to another I2C slave. See Figure 17.
Slave Address
The MAX3107 includes a 7-bit slave address. The first 5
bits (MSBs) of the slave address are factory-programmed
and always 01011. These slave addresses are unique
device IDs. Connect A1, A0 to ground or VL to set the
I2C slave address (Table 5). The address is defined as
the 7 MSBs followed by the read/write bit. Set the read/
write bit to 1 to configure the MAX3107 to read mode. Set
the read/write bit to 0 to configure the MAX3107 to write
Bit Transfer
One data bit is transferred during each SCL clock cycle.
The data on SDA must remain stable during the high
period of the SCL clock pulse. Changes in SDA while
SCL is high and stable are considered control signals
(see the START, STOP, and Repeated START Conditions
section). Both SDA and SCL remain high when the bus
is not active.
Single-Byte Write
With this operation the master sends an address and 1
or 2 data bytes to the slave device (Figure 18). The write
byte procedure is as follows:
1) The master sends a START condition.
2) The master sends the 7-bit slave ID plus a write bit (low).
3) The addressed slave asserts an ACK on the data line.
4) The master sends the 8-bit register address.
5) T
he active slave asserts an ACK on the data line only
if the address is valid (NACK if not).
6) The master sends the 8-bit data byte.
7) The slave asserts an ACK on the data line.
8) The master generates a STOP condition.
Burst Write
With this operation the master sends an address and
multiple data bytes to the slave device (Figure 19). The
burst write procedure is as follows:
1) The master sends a START condition.

Acknowledge
Data transfers are acknowledged with an acknowledge
bit (ACK) or a not-acknowledge bit (NACK). Both the
master and the MAX3107 generate ACK bits. To generate an ACK, pull SDA low before the rising edge of the
9th clock pulse and keep it low during the high period of
the 9th clock pulse (see Figure 22). To generate a NACK,
leave SDA high before the rising edge of the 9th clock
pulse and keep it high for the duration of the 9th clock
pulse. Monitoring for NACK bits allows for detection of
unsuccessful data transfers.
Applications Information
Startup and Initialization
The MAX3107 can be initialized following power-up or
a hardware or software reset as shown in Figure 23.
To verify that the MAX3107 is ready for operation after
a power-up or reset, check the IRQ output if interrupt
driven operation is employed.
In polled mode, repeatedly read a known register until
the expected contents are returned. Note that the contents of the RevID change if new revisions of the product
are released. If reading RevID, it is recommended to only
check for the most significant 4 bits: Ah.

Low-Power Operation
To reduce the power consumption during normal operation, the following techniques can be adopted:
• D
o not use the internal PLL. This saves the most power
of the options listed here. Disable and bypass the PLL.
With the PLL enabled, the current to the VA supply is
in the range of a few mA (depending on clock and
multiplication factor), while it drops to below 1mA if
disabled.
• U
se an external clock source. Of the three clocking
sources, the internal oscillator consumes the most
power (about double that when using an external
crystal).
• Keep the internal clock rates as low as possible.
• Use low voltage on the VA supply.
• U
se an external 1.8V supply. This saves the power
dissipated in the internal 1.8V linear regulator for the
1.8V logic supply. Connect the external 1.8V supply to
V18 and disable the internal regulator by connecting
LDOEN to DGND.
Interrupts and Polling
The host controller can manage and control the MAX3107
through polling and/or through interrupts. In polled
mode, the IRQ physical interrupt output is not used and
the host controller polls the ISR register at frequent intervals to establish the state of the MAX3107.
Alternatively, the MAX3107’s physical IRQ interrupt
can be used to interrupt the host controller at specified
events, making polling unnecessary. The IRQ output is
an open-drain output that requires a pullup resistor to VL.
Logic-Level Translation
The MAX3107 can be directly connected to transceivers
and controllers that have different supply voltages. The
VL input defines the logic voltage levels of the controller interface while the VEXT voltage defines the logic of
the transceiver interface. This ensures flexibility when
selecting a controller and transceiver. Figure 24 is an
example of a setup when the controller, transceiver, and
the MAX3107 are powered by three different supplies.

Figure 25. Connector Sharing with a USB Transceiver
Connector Pin Sharing
The TX and RTS/CLKOUT outputs can be programmed
to be high impedance. This can be used in cases where
the MAX3107 shares a common connector with other
communication devices. Set the output of the MAX3107
to high impedance when the other communication
devices are active. Program MODE1[2]: TxHiZ high to
set TX to a high-impedance state. Program MODE1[3]:
RTSHiZ high to set RTS/CLKOUT to a high-impedance
state. Figure 25 shows an example of connector sharing
with a USB transceiver.
The four GPIOs can be used to implement the other flowcontrol signals defined in ITU V.24. Figure 26 shows how
the GPIOs create the DSR, DTR, DCD, and RI signals
found on some RS-232/V.28 interfaces.
Set FlowCtrl[1:0] high to enable auto hardware RTS/CTS
flow control.
Typical Application Circuit
Figure 27 shows the MAX3107 being used in a halfduplex RS-485 application. The microcontroller, the
RS-485 transceiver, and the MAX3107 are powered by
3.3V. SPI is used as the controller’s communication interface. The internal oscillator clocks the UART.
The MAX14840 receiver is continually enabled so that
echoing occurs. Enable auto echo suppression in the
MAX3107 UART by setting MODE2[7]: EchoSuprs to 1.
Set MODE1[4]: TranscvCtrl high to enable auto transceiver direction control to automatically control the DE
input of the transceiver.
