1µA Supply-Current, True +3V to +5.5V
RS-232 Transceivers with AutoShutdown
_______________General Description
The MAX3221/MAX3223/MAX3243 achieve 1µA supply
current with Maxim’s revolutionary AutoShutdown™ fea-
ture. When the MAX3221/MAX3223/MAX3243 do not
sense a valid signal level on their receiver inputs, the
on-board power supply and drivers shut down. This
occurs if the RS-232 cable is disconnected or if the
transmitters of the connected peripheral are turned off.
The system turns on again when a valid level is applied
to any RS-232 receiver input. As a result, the system
saves power without changes to the existing BIOS or
operating system.
The MAX3221/MAX3223/MAX3243 transceivers are 3V-
powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications
interfaces intended for notebook computer applica-
tions. A proprietary, high-efficiency, dual charge-pump
power supply and a low-dropout transmitter combine to
deliver true RS-232 performance from a single +3.0V to
+5.5V supply. A guaranteed data rate of 120kbps pro-
vides compatibility with popular software for communi-
cating with personal computers.
The MAX3221/MAX3223/MAX3243 require only 0.1µF
capacitors in 3.3V operation, and can operate from input
voltages ranging from +3.0V to +5.5V. They are ideal for
3.3V-only systems, mixed 3.3V and 5.0V systems, or
5.0V-only systems that require true RS-232 performance.
The MAX3221 is a 1-driver/1-receiver 16-pin SSOP ver-
sion of the 20-pin MAX3223 (2-driver/2-receiver). The
MAX3243 3-driver/5-receiver, complete serial port is
ideal for notebook or subnotebook computers. The
MAX3243 includes one complementary always-active
receiver. This receiver can monitor an external device
(such as a modem) in shutdown, without forward bias-
ing the protection diodes in a UART that may have V
CC
completely removed.

_______________Detailed Description
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX3221/MAX3223/MAX3243’s internal power
supply consists of a regulated dual charge pump that
provides output voltages of +5.5V (doubling charge
pump) and -5.5V (inverting charge pump), regardless
of the input voltage (V
CC
) over the +3.0V to +5.5V
range. The charge pumps operate in a discontinuous
mode: if the output voltages are less than 5.5V, the
charge pumps are enabled; if the output voltages
exceed 5.5V, the charge pumps are disabled. Each
charge pump requires a flying capacitor (C1, C2) and
a reservoir capacitor (C3, C4) to generate the V+ and
V- supplies.
LapLink is a trademark of Traveling Software.
RS-232 Transmitters
The transmitters are inverting level translators that con-
vert CMOS-logic levels to 5.0V EIA/TIA-232 levels. They
guarantee a 120kbps data rate with worst-case loads of
3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF, providing compatibility with
PC-to-PC communication software (such as Laplink™).
Typically, the MAX3221/MAX3223/MAX3243 can oper-
ate at data rates of 235kbps. Transmitters can be paral-
leled to drive multiple receivers or mice (MAX3243).
Figure 1 shows a complete system connection.
When
FORCEOFF
is driven to ground, or the Auto-
Shutdown circuitry senses invalid voltage levels at all
receiver inputs, the transmitters are disabled and the
outputs are forced into a high-impedance state.
