Detailed Description
Figure 2 shows the receiver test circuit. Figure 3 shows
driver propagation delay and Figure 4 shows receiver
propagation delay.
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX13223E internal power supply consists of a
dual-mode regulated charge pump that provides output
voltages of +5.5V (doubling charge pump) and -5.5V
(inverting charge pump), regardless of the input volt-
age (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 fly-
ing capacitor (C1, C2) and a reservoir capacitor (C3,
C4) to generate the V+ and V- supplies.
RS-232 Transmitters
The transmitters are inverting level translators that con-
vert logic levels to EIA/TIA-232/V.28 levels. They guar-
antee a 250kbps data rate with worst-case loads of
3k
Ω in parallel with 1000pF, providing compatibility with
PC-to-PC communication software. The MAX13223E
can operate at data rates of 250kbps (max).
Transmitters can be paralleled to drive multiple
receivers. When FORCEOFF is driven to ground, or the
AutoShutdown circuitry senses invalid voltage levels at
all receiver inputs, the transmitters are disabled and the
outputs are forced into a high-impedance state. Figure
5 shows a complete system connection.
RS-232 Receivers
The MAX13223E’s receivers convert RS-232 signals to
logic output levels. Both receiver outputs can be tri-
stated using the EN input. In shutdown (FORCEOFF =
low) or in AutoShutdown, the MAX13223E’s receivers
are active (Table 1). Driving EN high places the
receivers’ outputs in a high-impedance state.

Pin Description
PIN NAME FUNCTION
1 EN
Receiver Enable Control Input. Drive EN low for normal operation. Drive EN high to force the receiver outputs
(R1OUT, R2OUT) into a high-impedance state.
2 C1+ Positive Terminal of the Voltage Doubler Charge-Pump Capacitor
3 V+ +5.5V Generated by Charge Pump
4 C1- Negative Terminal of the Voltage Doubler Charge-Pump Capacitor
5 C2+ Positive Terminal of Inverting Charge-Pump Capacitor
6 C2- Negative Terminal of Inverting Charge-Pump Capacitor
7 V- -5.5V Generated by Charge Pump
8 T2OUT RS-232 Transmitter 2 Output
9 R2IN RS-232 Receiver 2 Input
10 R2OUT Receiver 2 Logic Output
11 INVALID Valid Signal Detector Output. INVALID is high if a valid RS-232 level is present on any receiver input.
12 T2IN Transmitter 2 Logic Input
13 T1IN Transmitter 1 Logic Input
14 FORCEON
Active-High FORCEON Input. Drive FORCEON high to override AutoShutdown, keeping transmitters and
charge pump on (FORCEOFF must be high).
15 R1OUT Receiver 1 Logic Output
16 R1IN RS-232 Receiver 1 Input
17 T1OUT RS-232 Transmitter 1 Output
18 GND Ground
19 V CC
+3.0V to +5.5V Supply Voltage. Bypass V CC with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor located as close to the device
as possible.
20 FORCEOFF
Active-Low FORCEOFF Input. Drive FORCEOFF low to shut down transmitters, receivers, and on-board
charge pumps, overriding AutoShutdown and FORCEON.
