MAX13234E

19-4343; Rev 0; 10/08 3Mbps RS-232 Transceivers with Low-Voltage Interface General Description The MAX13234E–MAX13237E are +3V to +5.5V powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces with high data-rate capabilities (up to 3Mbps), a flexible logic voltage interface, and enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. All receiver inputs and transmitter outputs are protected to ±15kV IEC 61000–4-2 Air Gap Discharge, ±8kV IEC 61000-4-2 Contact Discharge, and ±15kV Human Body Model. The MAX13234E/MAX13235E have two receivers and two transmitters, while the MAX13236E/MAX13237E have a single receiver and transmitter. The transmitters have a low-dropout transmitter output stage, delivering true RS-232 performance from a +3V to +5.5V supply based on a dual charge pump. The charge pump requires only four small 0.1µF capacitors for operation from a +3.3V supply. All devices achieve a 1µA supply current using Maxim’s AutoShutdown Plus™ feature. These devices automatically enter a low-power shutdown mode when the RS-232 cable is disconnected or the devices driving the transmitter and receiver inputs are inactive for more than 30s. The MAX13234E–MAX13237E are available in spacesaving TQFN and TSSOP packages and operate over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range. ♦ Data Rate Up to 3Mbps ♦ Low-Voltage Logic Interface ♦ +3V to +5.5V Supply Voltage ♦ AutoShutdown Plus ♦ 1µA Shutdown Current Features MAX13234E–MAX13237E Functional Diagrams 1.62V to VCC 3.0V to 5.5V CBYPASS1 CBYPASS2 VL C1+ C1 C1C2+ C2 C2T1IN TTL/CMOS INPUTS T2IN VCC V+ C3 MAX13234E MAX13235E VC4 T1OUT RS-232 OUTPUTS T2OUT R1OUT LOGIC-LEVEL TRANSLATION R1IN 5kΩ R2IN 5kΩ RS-232 INPUTS Applications Telematics GPS Systems Industrial Systems Portable Devices Wireless Modules POS Systems Communication Systems Data Cables TTL/CMOS OUTPUTS R2OUT FORCEOFF FORCEON READY GND AutoShutdown Plus is a registered trademark of Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.

This feature allows flexibility in interfacing to UARTs or communication controllers that have different logic levels. Connect this input to the host logic supply (1.62V ≤ VL ≤ VCC). RS-232 Receivers The receivers convert RS-232 signals to CMOS-logic output levels. The MAX13234E–MAX13237E have inverting outputs that are active when in shutdown (FORCEOFF = GND) (Table 1). AutoShutdown Plus Mode Drive FORCEOFF high and FORCEON low to invoke AutoShutdown Plus mode. When these devices do not sense a valid signal transition on any receiver and transmitter input for 30s, the onboard charge pumps are shut down, reducing supply current to 1µA. This occurs if the RS-232 cable is disconnected or if the devices driving the transmitter and receiver inputs are inactive for more than 30s. The MAX13234E–MAX13237E turn on again when a valid transition is applied to any RS-232 receiver or transmitter input. As a result, the system saves power without requiring any control. Figure 6 and Table 1 summarize the MAX13234E– MAX13237E operating modes. The FORCEON and FORCEOFF inputs override AutoShutdown Plus circuitry. When neither control is asserted, the IC selects between these states automatically based on the last receiver or transmitter input edge received. Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter The internal power supply consists of a regulated dual charge pump that provides output voltages of +5.5V and -5.5V (inverting charge pump), over the +3.0V to +5.5V range. The charge pump operates in discontinuous mode: if the output voltages are less than +5.5V, the charge pump is enabled; if the output voltages exceed +5.5V, the charge-pump is disabled. The charge pumps require flying capacitors (C1, C2) and reservoir capacitors (C3, C4) to generate the V+ and Vsupplies. The READY output is low when the charge pumps are disabled in shutdown mode. The READY signal asserts high when V- goes below -4V. RS-232 Transmitters The transmitters are inverting level translators that convert CMOS-logic levels to ±5.0V EIA/TIA-232 levels. The MAX13234E/MAX13236E guarantee a 250kbps data rate with worst-case loads of 3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF. The MAX13235E/MAX13237E guarantee a 1Mbps data rate with worst-case loads of 3kΩ in parallel with 250pF, and a 3Mbps data rate with worst-case loads of 3kΩ in parallel with 150pF. Transmitters can be paralleled to drive multiple receivers. When FORCEOFF is driven to ground or when the AutoShutdown Plus circuitry senses that all receiver and transmitter inputs are inactive for more than 30s, the transmitters are disabled and the outputs go into a high-impedance state. When powered off or shut down, the outputs can be driven to ±12V. The transmitter inputs do not have pullup resistors. Connect unused inputs to GND or VL.

The driver outputs and receiver inputs of the MAX13234E–MAX13237E 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 latchup. ESD protection can be tested in various ways; the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs of this product family are characterized for protection to the following limits: 1) ±15V Using the Human Body Model 2) ±15kV Using IEC 61000-4-2 Air-Gap Method 3) ±8kV Using IEC 61000-4-2 Contact-Discharge Method RC 1MΩ CHARGE-CURRENT LIMIT RESISTOR HIGHVOLTAGE DC SOURCE RD 1500Ω DISCHARGE RESISTANCE DEVICE UNDER TEST HIGHVOLTAGE DC SOURCE RC 50MΩ to 100MΩ CHARGE-CURRENT LIMIT RESISTOR RD 330Ω DISCHARGE RESISTANCE DEVICE UNDER TEST Cs 100pF STORAGE CAPACITOR Cs 150pF STORAGE CAPACITOR Figure 8a.

The capacitor’s equivalent series resistance (ESR), usually rises at low temperatures influencing the amount of ripple on V+ and V-. MAX13234E–MAX13237E Human Body Model Figure 8a shows the Human Body Model and Figure 8b shows the current waveform it generates when discharged into a low impedance. This model consists of a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest, which is then discharged into the test device through a 1.5kΩ resistor. Table 2.

The MAX13234E– MAX13237E helps design equipment that meets Level 4 (the highest level) of IEC 61000-4-2, without the need for additional ESD-protection components. The major difference between tests done using the Human Body Model and IEC 61000-4-2 is higher peak current in IEC 61000-4-2, because series resistance is lower in the IEC 61000-4-2 model. Hence, the ESD withstand voltage measured to IEC 61000-4-2 is generally lower than that measured using the Human Body Model. Figure 9a shows the IEC 61000-4-2 model and Figure 9b shows the current waveform for the 8kV, IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4, ESD Contact-Discharge Method. The Air-Gap Method involves approaching the device with a charged probe. The Contact-Discharge Method connects the probe to the device before the probe is energized. Power-Supply Decoupling In most circumstances, a 0.1µF VCC bypass capacitor and a 1µF VL bypass capacitor are adequate. In applications that are sensitive to power-supply noise, use capacitors of the same value as charge-pump capacitor C1. Connect bypass capacitors as close to the IC as possible. Transmitter Outputs when Exiting Shutdown Figure 10 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 1000pF. 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. Applications Information Capacitor Selection The capacitor type used for C1–C4 is not critical for proper operation; polarized or non-polarized capacitors can be used. The charge pump requires 0.1µF capacitors for VCC = +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, CBYPASS1, and CBYPASS2 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 5V/div 0 FORCEON = FORCEOFF T1OUT 2V/div 0 5V/div 0 VCC = 3.3V C1–C4 = 0.1μF 5μs/div T2OUT READY Figure 10.
