460kbps, 1µA, RS-232-Compatible Transceiver
General Description
The MAX3314 is a ±5V powered EIA/TIA-232-compati-
ble interface. It has one transmitter and one receiver in
a flow-through architecture. The transmitter has a low-
dropout output stage providing minimum RS-232-com-
patible ±3.7V output levels while driving 3kΩ and
1000pf at 460kbps. Both +5V and -5V are supplied
externally.
The MAX3314 has a
SHDN
function that reduces sup-
ply current to 1µA. The transmitter is disabled and put
into 3-state mode while the receiver remains active.
The MAX3314 is available in 8-pin SOT23, µMAX and
SO packages.

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.

Detailed Description
RS-232-Compatible Drivers
The transmitter is an inverting level translator that con-
verts CMOS-logic levels to EIA/TIA-232-compatible lev-
els. It guarantees data rates up to 460kbps with
worst-case loads of 3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF. When
SHDN
is driven low, the transmitter is disabled and put
into 3-state mode. The transmitter input does not have a
pull-up resistor. Connect to ground if unused.

RS-232-Compatible Receivers
The MAX3314’s receiver converts RS-232 signals to
CMOS-logic output levels. The receiver is rated to sig-
nals up to ±25V. The MAX3314’s receiver will remain
active during shutdown mode.

MAX3314 Shutdown Mode
In shutdown mode, the transmitter output is put into
high impedance. This reduces the supply current to
1µA. The time required to exit shutdown is less than
2.5µs. Table 1 is the shutdown logic truth table.

Applications Information
Capacitor Selection
The capacitor type used is not critical for proper opera-
tion; either polarized or nonpolarized capacitors are
acceptable. If polarized capacitors are used, connect
polarity as shown in the
Typical Operating Circuit.

Transmitter Output When
Exiting Shutdown
Figure 1 shows the transmitter output when exiting shut-
down mode. The transmitter is loaded with 3kΩ in par-
allel with 1000pF. The transmitter output displays no
ringing or undesirable transients as the MAX3314
comes out of shutdown. Note that the transmitter is
enabled only when the magnitude of V- exceeds
approximately -3V.
CAPACITORS MAY BE POLARIZED OR NONPOLARIZED.
Figure 2. Loopback Test Circuit
Figure 2 shows a transmitter loopback test circuit.
Figure 3 shows the loopback test result at 120kbps, and
Figure 4 shows the same test at 250kbps.
High Data Rates
The MAX3314 maintains minimum RS-232-compatible
±3.7V transmitter output voltage even at high data rates.
