9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The MAX3243 device consists of three line drivers, five line receivers, and a dual charge-pump circuit with ±15kV ESD (HBM) protection pin to pin (serial- port connection pins, including GND). The device meets the
requirements of TIA/EIA-232-F and provides the electrical interface between an asynchronous communication
controller and the serial-port connector. This combination of drivers and receivers matches that needed for the
typical serial port used in an IBM PC/AT, or compatible. The charge pump and four small external capacitors
allow operation from a single 3-V to 5.5-V supply. In addition, the device includes an always-active noninverting
output (ROUT2B), which allows applications using the ring indicator to transmit data while the device is powered
down. Flexible control options for power management are available. when the serial port is inactive. The autopower-down feature functions when FORCEON is low and FORCEOFF is high. During this mode of operation, if
the device does not sense a valid RS-232 signal, the driver outputs are disabled. If FORCEOFF is set low, both
drivers and receivers (except ROUT2B) are shut off, and the supply current is reduced to 1 µA. Disconnecting
the serial port or turning off the peripheral drivers causes the auto-powerdown condition to occur. Autopowerdown can be disabled when FORCEON and FORCEOFF are high and should be done when driving a
serial mouse. With auto-powerdown enabled, the device is activated automatically when a valid signal is applied
to any receiver input. The INVALID output is used to notify the user if an RS-232 signal is present at any receiver
input. INVALID is high (valid data) if any receiver input voltage is greater than 2.7 V or less than –2.7 V or has
been between –0.3 V and 0.3 V for less than 30 µs. INVALID is low (invalid data) if all receiver input voltages are
between –0.3 V and 0.3 V for more than 30 µs.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Auto-Power-Down
Auto-Power-Down can be used to automatically save power when the receivers are unconnected or connected to
a powered down remote RS232 port. FORCEON being high will override Auto power down and the drivers will
be active. FORCEOFF being low will override FORCEON and will power down all outputs except for ROUT2B
and INVALID.
9.3.2 Charge Pump
The charge pump increases, inverts, and regulates voltage at V+ and V– pins and requires four external
capacitors.
9.3.3 RS232 Driver
Three drivers interface standard logic level to RS232 levels. All DIN inputs must be valid high or low.
9.3.4 RS232 Receiver
Five receivers interface RS232 levels to standard logic levels. An open input will result in a high output on ROUT.
Each RIN input includes an internal standard RS232 load.
9.3.5 ROUT2B Receiver
ROUT2B is an always-active noninverting output of RIN2 input, which allows applications using the ring indicator
to transmit data while the device is powered down.
9.3.6 Invalid Input Detection
The INVALID output goes active low when all RIN inputs are unpowered. The INVALID output goes inactive high
when any RIN input is connected to an active RS232 voltage level.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
VCC should be between 3 V and 5.5 V. Charge pump capacitors should be chosen using table in Figure 8.
12 Layout
12.1 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.
In the Layout Example diagram, only critical layout sections are shown. Input and output traces will vary in shape
and size depending on the customer application. FORCEON and /FORCEOFF should be pulled up to VCC or
GND via a pullup resistor, depending on which configuration the user desires upon power-up.
