+2.7V to +3.6V-Powered, 1µA Supply Current,
3-Driver/5-Receiver, True RS-232 Transceiver
_______________General Description
The MAX3212 uses Maxim’s new proprietary Auto-
Shutdown mode to reduce supply current to 1µA. The
MAX3212, with 3 RS-232 drivers and 5 RS-232 receivers,
is intended for 2.7V to 3.6V-powered EIA/TIA-232E and
V.28/V.24 serial interface. True RS-232 levels are main-
tained across the operating range. A guaranteed data
rate of 235kbps provides compatibility with popular soft-
ware for communicating with personal computers.
Supply current is reduced to 1 µA with Maxim’s new
AutoShutdown feature. When the MAX3212 does not
sense a valid signal level on the receiver inputs, the on-
board power supply and drivers shut down. This occurs
if the RS-232 cable is disconnected or if the transmit-
ters of the connected peripheral are turned off. The sys-
tem 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 software.
A second power-management feature is incorporated to
permit automatic shutdown when the RS-232 connection
is valid but inactive. In this case, a transition detector
facilitates shutdown when the receivers are presented
with stationary RS-232 levels for long periods.
Three-state drivers are provided on receiver outputs so
that multiple receivers, generally of different interface
standards, can be wire-ORed at the UART. The
MAX3212 is available in 28-pin SO and SSOP packages.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX3212 line driver/receiver is intended for 3V-
powered EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications
interfaces where 3 drivers and 5 receivers are required.
The operating voltage range extends from 3.6V down to
2.7V while still maintaining true RS-232 and EIA/TIA-562
transmitter output voltage levels.
The circuit comprises three sections: power supply,
transmitters, and receivers. The power-supply section
converts the supplied 3V to about ±6.5V, to provide
the voltages necessary for the drivers to meet true RS-
232 levels. External components are small and inex -
pensive.
The transmitters and receivers are guaranteed to oper-
ate at data rates of 235kbps.
The MAX3212 is equipped with Maxim’s new propri -
etary AutoShutdown circuitry. This achieves a supply
current of 1 µA by shutting down the device when the
RS-232 cable is disconnected or when the connected
peripheral transmitters are turned off. While shut down,
all receivers can remain active or can be disabled
under logic control. A complementary receiver remains
active in all cases, enabling a system incorporating the
MAX3212 to remain shut down and still monitor incom-
ing RS-232 activity.
Three-state drivers on all receiver outputs are provided
so that multiple receivers, generally of different inter -
face standards, can be wire-ORed at the UART.
The switch-mode power supply uses a single inductor
with two inexpensive diodes and two capacitors to
generate ±6.5V from the 2.7V to 3.6V input. The
Typical
Operating Circuit
shows the complete circuit for the pow-
er supply.
Use a 15µH inductor with a saturation current rating of at
least 350mA and under 1
Ω
resistance. Use 1N6050
diodes or equivalent. Surface-mount equivalents for the
1N6050 include the Motorola MMBD6050LT1, P hilips
PMBD6050, and Allegro (formerly Sprague) TMPD6050LT.
For C1 and C2, use ceramic capacitors with values no
less than indicated in the
Typical Operating Circuit
.
These capacitors determine the ripple on V+ and V-, but
