All RS-232 pins have 15-kV HBM and IEC61000-4-2 Air-Gap discharge protection. RS-232 pins also have 8-kV IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge protection. Each receiver converts TIA/EIA-232-F inputs to 5-V TTL/CMOS levels. These receivers have shorted and open fail safe. The receiver can accept up to ±30-V inputs and decode inputs as low as ±3 V. Each driver converts TTL/CMOS input levels into TIA/EIA-232-F levels. Outputs are protected against shorts to ground. 8.2 Functional Block Diagram POWER 5V DIN 2 2 TX 250 kb/s ROUT 2 RX DOUT RS-232 IEC61000-4-2 2 RIN RS-232 Copyright © 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Figure 8. Logic Diagram (Positive Logic) 8.3 Feature Description 8.3.1 Power The power block increases and inverts the 5-V supply for the RS-232 driver using a charge pump that requires four 1-µF external capacitors. 8.3.2 RS-232 Driver Two drivers interface standard logic level to RS-232 levels. Internal pullup resistors on DIN inputs ensures a high input when the line is high impedance. 8.3.3 RS-232 Receiver Two receivers interface RS-232 levels to standard logic levels. An open or shorted to ground input results in a high output on ROUT.

TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 9.1 Application Information For proper operation add capacitors as shown in Figure 10. Pins 9 through 12 connect to UART or general purpose logic lines. RS-232 lines on pins 7, 8, 13, and 14 connect to a connector or cable. 9.2 Typical Application 5V CBYPASS = 1 mF + − 16 1 C1 C1+ 1 mF 3 1 mF 5 From CMOS or TTL To CMOS or TTL 8.5 V VS+ VS− C2+ 1 mF 2 C1− 4 C2 C3† VCC 6 −8.5 V C4 + C2− 11 14 10 7 12 13 9 8 0V 1 mF RS-232 Output RS-232 Output RS-232 Input RS-232 Input 15 GND † C3 can be connected to VCC or GND. Copyright © 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Resistor values shown are nominal. Nonpolarized ceramic capacitors are acceptable. If polarized tantalum or electrolytic capacitors are used, they should be connected as shown. Figure 10. Typical Operating Circuit 9.2.1 Design Requirements • • VCC minimum is 4.5 V and maximum is 5.5 V. Maximum recommended bit rate is 250 kbit/s. 9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure The capacitor type used for C1–C4 is not critical for proper operation. The MAX232E requires 1-µF capacitors, although capacitors up to 10 µF can be used without harm. Ceramic dielectrics are suggested for capacitors. When using the minimum recommended capacitor values, make sure the capacitance value does not degrade excessively as the operating temperature varies. If in doubt, use capacitors with a larger (for example, 2×) nominal value. The capacitors' effective series resistance (ESR), which usually rises at low temperatures, influences the amount of ripple on V+ and V–.

Bypass VCC to ground with at least 1 µF. In applications sensitive to power-supply noise generated by the charge pumps, decouple VCC to ground with a capacitor the same size as (or larger than) the charge-pump capacitors (C1–C4). 9.2.3 Application Curve Loopback waveform connects DOUT to RIN. 12 DIN DOUT ROUT 10 8 Waveform (V) 6 4 2 0 -2 -4 -6 -8 -10 0 5 10 Time (us) 15 20 D005 Date Rate = 120 kbit/s, CL = 1 nF Figure 11.

VCC should be between 4.5 V and 5.5 V. 11 Layout 11.1 Layout Guidelines Keep the external capacitor traces short. This is more important on C1 and C2 nodes that have the fastest rise and fall times. Make the impedance from MAX232E ground pin and circuit board's ground plane as low as possible for best ESD performance. Use wide metal and multiple vias on both sides of ground pin. 11.2 Layout Example Ground C3 1 C1+ VCC 16 VCC PF C1 2 V+ GND 15 3 C1- DOUT1 14 4 C2+ RIN1 13 5 C2- ROUT1 12 Ground C2 Ground 6 V- DIN1 11 7 DOUT2 DIN2 10 C4 8 RIN2 ROUT2 9 Figure 12.

LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect. NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design. PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available. OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device. (2) RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may reference these types of products as "Pb-Free". RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption. Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of
