15kV ESD-Protected, 3.0V to 5.5V, Low-Power, up to 250kbps, True RS-232 Transceiver
________________General Description
The MAX3385E is a 3V-powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications interface with low power requirements, high data-rate capabilities, and enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to 15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge, 8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge, and 15kV using the Human Body Model. The transceiver has a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage, delivering true RS-232 performance from a +3.0V to +5.5V supply with a dual charge pump. The charge pump requires only four small 0.1F capacitors for operation from a +3.3V supply. Each device is guaranteed to run at data rates of 250kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels. The MAX3385E has two receivers and two drivers. It features a 1A shutdown mode that reduces power consumption and extends battery life in portable systems. Its receivers can remain active in shutdown mode, allowing external devices such as modems to be monitored using only 1A supply current. The MAX3385E is available in a space-saving SSOP package in either the commercial (0C to +70C) or extended-industrial (-40C to +85C) temperature range.

_______________Detailed Description
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX3385E'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 VCC range. The charge pump operates in discontinuous mode; if the output voltages are less than 5.5V, the charge pump is enabled, and 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 Vsupplies (Figure 1).
The MAX3385E's transmitters are disabled and the outputs are forced into a high-impedance state when the device is in shutdown (SHDN = GND). The MAX3385E permits the outputs to be driven up to 12V in shutdown. The transmitter inputs do not have pull-up resistors. Connect unused inputs to GND or VCC.
RS-232 Receivers
The receivers convert RS-232 signals to CMOS-logic output levels (Table 1).
Shutdown Mode
Supply current falls to less than 1A in shutdown mode (SHDN = low). When shut down, the device's charge pumps are shut off, V+ is pulled down to VCC, V- is pulled to ground, and the transmitter outputs are disabled (high impedance). The time required to exit shut-
RS-232 Transmitters
The transmitters are inverting level translators that convert CMOS-logic levels to 5.0V EIA/TIA-232 levels. The MAX3385E transmitters guarantee a 250kbps data rate with worst-case loads of 3k in parallel with 1000pF, providing compatibility with PC-to-PC communication software (such as LapLinkTM). Transmitters can be paralleled to drive multiple receivers or mice.

charged into a low impedance. This model consists of a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest, which is then discharged into the test device through a 1.5k resistor. IEC 1000-4-2 The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and performance of finished equipment; it does not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The MAX3385E helps you design equipment that meets Level 4 (the highest level) of IEC 1000-4-2, without the need for additional ESD-protection components. The major difference between tests done using the Human Body Model and IEC 1000-4-2 is higher peak current in IEC 1000-4-2, because series resistance is lower in the IEC 1000-4-2 model. Hence, the ESD withstand voltage measured to IEC 1000-4-2 is generally lower than that measured using the Human Body Model. Figure 4a shows the IEC 1000-4-2 model, and Figure 4b shows the current waveform for the 8kV IEC 1000-4-2 Level 4 ESD contact-discharge test. The air-gap test involves approaching the device with a charged probe. The contact-discharge method connects the probe to the device before the probe is energized. Machine Model The Machine Model for ESD tests all pins using a 200pF storage capacitor and zero discharge resistance. Its objective is to emulate the stress caused by contact that occurs with handling and assembly during manufacturing. Of course, all pins require this protection during manufacturing, not just RS-232 inputs and outputs. Therefore, after PC board assembly, the Machine Model is less relevant to I/O ports.

down is typically 100s, as shown in Figure 2. Connect SHDN to VCC if the shutdown mode is not used.
15kV ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures are incorporated on all pins to protect against electrostatic discharges encountered during handling and assembly. The driver outputs and receiver inputs of the MAX3385E have extra protection against static electricity. Maxim's engineers have developed state-of-the-art structures to protect these pins against ESD of 15kV without damage. The ESD structures withstand high ESD in all states: normal operation, shutdown, and powered down. After an ESD event, Maxim's "E" versions keep working without latchup, whereas competing RS-232 products can latch and must be powered down to remove latchup. ESD protection can be tested in various ways; the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs of this product family are characterized for protection to the following limits: 1) 15kV using the Human Body Model 2) 8kV using the contact-discharge method specified in IEC 1000-4-2 3) 15kV using IEC 1000-4-2's air-gap method. ESD Test Conditions ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions. Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents test setup, test methodology, and test results.

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 0.1F capacitors for 3.3V operation. For other supply voltages, refer to Table 2 for required capacitor values. Do not use val-

ues smaller than those listed in Table 2. 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 capacitors with a larger nominal value. The capacitor's equivalent 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 0.1F VCC bypass capacitor is adequate. In applications that are sensitive to powersupply noise, use a capacitor of the same value as charge-pump capacitor C1. Connect bypass capacitors as close to the IC as possible.
Operation Down to 2.7V
Transmitter outputs will meet EIA/TIA-562 levels of 3.7V with supply voltages as low as 2.7V.
Transmitter Outputs when Exiting Shutdown
Figure 2 shows two transmitter outputs when exiting shutdown mode. As they become active, the two transmitter outputs are shown going to opposite RS-232 lev7

els (one transmitter input is high, the other is low). Each transmitter is loaded with 3k in parallel with 2500pF. The transmitter outputs display no ringing or undesirable transients as they come out of shutdown. Note that the transmitters are enabled only when the magnitude of V- exceeds approximately -3V. Figure 8 shows the same test at 250kbps. For Figure 7, all transmitters were driven simultaneously at 120kbps into RS-232 loads in parallel with 1000pF. For Figure 8, a single transmitter was driven at 250kbps, and all transmitters were loaded with an RS-232 receiver in parallel with 1000pF.
High Data Rates
The MAX3385E maintains the RS-232 5.0V minimum transmitter output voltage even at high data rates. Figure 6 shows a transmitter loopback test circuit. Figure 7 shows a loopback test result at 120kbps, and
