________________General Description
The MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245 are 3V-
powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications
interfaces with automatic shutdown/wakeup features
and high data-rate capabilities.
All devices achieve a 1µA supply current using Maxim’s
revolutionary AutoShutdown Plus™ feature. These
devices automatically enter a low-power shutdown
mode when the RS-232 cable is disconnected or the
transmitters of the connected peripherals are inactive,
and the UART driving the transmitter inputs is inactive
for more than 30 seconds. They turn on again when
they sense a valid transition at any transmitter or receiv-
er input. AutoShutdown Plus saves power without
changes to the existing BIOS or operating system.
The MAX3225/MAX3227/MAX3245 also feature
MegaBaud™ operation, guaranteeing 1Mbps for high-
speed applications such as communicating with ISDN
modems. The MAX3224/MAX3226/MAX3244 guarantee
250kbps operation. The transceivers have a proprietary
low-dropout transmitter output stage enabling true RS-
232 performance from a +3.0V to +5.5V supply with a
dual charge pump. The charge pump requires only four
small 0.1µF capacitors for operation from a 3.3V supply.
The MAX3224–MAX3227 feature a logic-level output
(READY) that asserts when the charge pump is regulat-
ing and the device is ready to begin transmitting.
All devices are available in a space-saving TQFN,
TSSOP, and SSOP packages.

MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245
_______________Detailed Description
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245’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), 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.
Each charge pump requires a flying capacitor (C1, C2)
and a reservoir capacitor (C3, C4) to generate the V+
and V- supplies.
The READY output (MAX3224–MAX3227) 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 MAX3224/MAX3226/MAX3244 guarantee a
250kbps data rate (1Mbps for the MAX3225/MAX3227/
MAX3245) with worst-case loads of 3kΩin parallel with
1000pF, providing compatibility with PC-to-PC com-
munication software (such as LapLink®). Transmitters
can be paralleled to drive multiple receivers. Figure 1
shows a complete system connection.
When FORCEOFF is driven to ground or when the Auto-
Shutdown Plus circuitry senses that all receiver and
transmitter inputs are inactive for more than 30sec, 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 pull-up resistors. Connect unused inputs to
GND or VCC.

MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245
RS-232 Receivers
The receivers convert RS-232 signals to CMOS-logic
output levels. The MAX3224–MAX3227 feature inverting
outputs that always remain active (Table 1). The
MAX3244/MAX3245 have inverting three-state outputs
that are high impedance when shut down (FORCEOFF
= GND) (Table 1).
The MAX3244/MAX3245 feature an extra, always
active, noninverting output, R2OUTB. R2OUTB output
monitors receiver activity while the other receivers are
high impedance, allowing Ring Indicator applications to
be monitored without forward biasing other devices
connected to the receiver outputs. This is ideal for sys-
tems where VCC is set to ground in shutdown to
accommodate peripherals such as UARTs (Figure 2).
The MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245 feature
an INVALID output that is enabled low when no valid
RS-232 voltage levels have been detected on all receiv-
er inputs. Because INVALID indicates the receiver
input’s condition, it is independent of FORCEON and
FORCEOFF states (Figures 3 and 4).
AutoShutdown Plus Mode
The MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245 achieve a
1µA supply current with Maxim’s AutoShutdown Plus
feature, which operates when FORCEOFF is high and a
FORCEON is low. When these devices do not sense a
valid signal transition on any receiver and transmitter
input for 30sec, the on-board charge pumps are shut
down, reducing supply current to 1µA. This occurs if the
RS-232 cable is disconnected or if the connected

peripheral transmitters are turned off, and the UART dri-
ving the transmitter inputs is inactive. The system turns
on again when a valid transition is applied to any
RS-232 receiver or transmitter input. As a result, the sys-
tem saves power without changes to the existing BIOS
or operating system.
Figures 3a and 3b depict valid and invalid RS-232
receiver voltage levels. INVALID indicates the receiver
input’s condition, and is independent of FORCEON and
FORCEOFF states. Figure 3 and Tables 1 and 2 sum-
marize the operating modes of the MAX3224–
MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245 devices. FORCEON and
FORCEOFF 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.
When shut down, the device’s charge pumps turn off,
V+ is pulled to VCC, V- is pulled to ground, the transmit-
ter outputs are high impedance, and READY
(MAX3224–MAX3227) is driven low. The time required
to exit shutdown is typically 100µs (Figure 6).

MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245
By connecting FORCEON to INVALID, the MAX3224–
MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245 shut down when no valid
receiver level and no receiver or transmitter edge is
detected for 30sec, and wake up when a valid receiver
level or receiver or transmitter edge is detected.
By connecting FORCEON and FORCEOFF to INVALID,
the MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245 shutdown
when no valid receiver level is detected and wake up
when a valid receiver level is detected (same function-
ality as AutoShutdown feature on MAX3221/MAX3223/
MAX3243).
A mouse or other system with AutoShutdown Plus may
need time to wake up. Figure 5 shows a circuit that
forces the transmitters on for 100ms, allowing enough
time for the other system to realize that the MAX3244/
MAX3245 is awake. If the other system outputs valid
RS-232 signal transitions within that time, the RS-232
ports on both systems remain enabled.

__________Applications Information
Capacitor Selection
The capacitor type used for C1–C4 is not critical for
proper operation; polarized or nonpolarized capacitors
can be used. The charge pump requires 0.1µF capaci-
tors for 3.3V operation. For other supply voltages, see
Table 3 for required capacitor values. Do not use val-
ues smaller than those listed in Table 3. 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,
and CBYPASS, 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 capaci-
tors with a larger nominal value. The capacitor’s equiva-
lent series resistance (ESR), which usually rises at low
temperatures, influences the amount of ripple on V+
and V-.
Power-Supply Decoupling
In most circumstances, a 0.1µF VCC bypass capacitor
is adequate. In applications that are sensitive to power-
supply noise, use a capacitor of the same value as
charge-pump capacitor C1. Connect bypass capaci-
tors as close to the IC as possible.
Transmitter Outputs
when Exiting Shutdown
Figure 6 shows two transmitter outputs when exiting
shutdown mode. As they become active, the two trans-
mitter outputs are shown going to opposite RS-232 lev-
els (one transmitter input is high; the other is low). Each
transmitter is loaded with 3kΩin parallel with 1000pF.
The transmitter outputs display no ringing or undesir-
able transients as they come out of shutdown. Note that
the transmitters are enabled only when the magnitude
of V- exceeds approximately -3V.

High Data Rates
The MAX3224/MAX3226/MAX3244 maintain the RS-232
±5.0V minimum transmitter output voltage even at high
data rates. Figure 7 shows a transmitter loopback test
circuit. Figure 8 shows a loopback test result at
120kbps, and Figure 9 shows the same test at
250kbps. For Figure 8, all transmitters were driven
simultaneously at 120kbps into RS-232 loads in parallel
with 1000pF. For Figure 9, a single transmitter was dri-
ven at 250kbps, and all transmitters were loaded with
an RS-232 receiver in parallel with 250pF.
The MAX3225/MAX3227/MAX3245 maintain the RS-232
±5.0V minimum transmitter output voltage at data rates
up to 1Mbps (MegaBaud). Figure 10 shows a loopback
test result with a single transmitter driven at 1Mbps and
all transmitters loaded with an RS-232 receiver in paral-
lel with 250pF.

The MAX3244/MAX3245 are specifically designed to
