+3.3V Multiprotocol Software-Selectable
Cable Terminators and Transceivers
General Description
The MAX3172/MAX3174 contain five software-selec-
table multiprotocol cable termination networks. Each
network is capable of terminating V.11 (RS-422, RS-
530, RS-530A, RS-449, V.36, and X.21) with a 100Ω dif-
ferential load, V.35 with a T-network load, or V.28
(RS-232) and V.10 (RS-423) with an open circuit load
for use with transceivers having on-chip termination.
The devices replace discrete resistor termination net-
works and expensive relays required for multiprotocol
termination. The MAX3172/MAX3174, along with the
MAX3170 and MAX3171/MAX3173, form a complete
+3.3V software-selectable DTE or DCE interface port
supporting V.11/RS-422, RS-530, RS-530A, V.36/RS-
449, V.35, V.28/RS-232, V.10/RS-423, and X.21 serial
interfaces.
In addition to the five multiprotocol cable termination
networks, the MAX3172/MAX3174 contain a 1Tx/1Rx
multiprotocol transceiver designed to use V+ and V-
generated by the MAX3171/MAX3173 charge pump.
The MAX3172/MAX3174 transceiver is software selec-
table between V.10 and V.28 modes of operation. The
MAX3172 features 10µs deglitching on the V.10/V.28
receiver input to facilitate unterminated operation, while
the MAX3174 is used in applications that do not require
deglitching on the serial handshake signals. These
devices are available in a 28-pin SSOP package.

Note 1:
V+ and V- can have maximum magnitudes of 7V, but their absolute difference cannot exceed 13V.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 2:
The charge pump on the MAX3171/MAX3173 can supply V+ and V- to the MAX3172/MAX3174. The V+ and V- input levels
vary with the mode of chipset operation as follows:
V.35/V.28 modes: +5.55V
≤
V+
≤
+6.50V, -6.50V
≤
V-
≤
-5.45V
Typical operation: V+ = +5.90V, V- = -5.80V
V.10/V.11 modes: +4.20V
≤
V+
≤
+5.0V, -4.60V
≤
V-
≤
-3.80V
Typical operation: V+ = +4.60V, V- = -4.20V
The MAX3171/MAX3173 are guaranteed to provide these V+/V- supply levels.
