+5V-Powered, Multichannel RS-232 Drivers/Receivers

General Description
The MAX220MAX249 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 5W. The MAX225, MAX233, MAX235, and MAX245/MAX246/MAX247 use no external components and are recommended for applications where printed circuit board space is critical.

+5V-Powered, Multichannel RS-232 Drivers/Receivers MAX220MAX249

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX220MAX249 contain four sections: dual charge-pump DC-DC voltage converters, RS-232 drivers, RS-232 receivers, and receiver and transmitter enable control inputs. mode, in three-state mode, or when device power is removed. Outputs can be driven to 15V. The powersupply current typically drops to 8A in shutdown mode. The MAX220 does not have pull-up 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 1A with the driver output pulled to ground. The driver output leakage remains less than 1A, even if the transmitter output is backdriven between 0V and (VCC + 6V). Below -0.5V, the transmitter is diode clamped to ground with 1k series impedance. The transmitter is also zener clamped to approximately V CC + 6V, with a series impedance of 1k. The driver output slew rate is limited to less than 30V/s as required by the EIA/TIA-232E and V.28 specifications. Typical slew rates are 24V/s unloaded and 10V/s loaded with 3 and 2500pF.

Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter

The MAX220MAX249 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 MAX245MAX247, 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 MAX245MAX249, 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 tied to VCC. This is because V+ is internally connected to VCC in shutdown mode.

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

RS-232 Drivers
The typical driver output voltage swing is 8V when loaded with a nominal 5k 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 3k 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 400k input pull-up resistors to VCC are built in (except for the MAX220). The pull-up resistors force the outputs of unused drivers low because all drivers invert. The internal input pull-up resistors typically source 12A, except in shutdown mode where the pull-ups are disabled. Driver outputs turn off and enter a high-impedance statewhere leakage current is typically microamperes (maximum 25A)when in shutdown

nominal 5k 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.

ShutdownMAX222MAX242
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 2.5s 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 25A 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. RA1RA4 and RB1RB4 are put in a three-state mode when ENR is a logic high.

MAX220MAX249

Low-Power Receive Mode

The low-power receive-mode feature of the MAX223, MAX242, and MAX245MAX249 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 ThresholdMAX243
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 floating 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 MAX243s 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 floating 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.

Receiver and Transmitter Enable Control Inputs

The MAX225 and MAX245MAX249 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.

Tables 1a1d 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. 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.
