+5V, 1µA, Single RS-232 Transceiver
with AutoShutdown
General Description
The MAX221 is a +5V-powered, single transmit/receive
RS-232 and V.28 communications interface with auto-
matic shutdown/wake-up features and high data rate
capabilities.
The MAX221 achieves a low 1µA supply current with
Maxim’s revolutionary AutoShutdown™ feature.
AutoShutdown saves power without changes to the
existing BIOS or operating system by entering low-
power shutdown mode when the RS-232 cable is dis-
connected, or when the transmitter of the connected
peripheral is off. The MAX221 wakes up and drives the
INVALID
pin high when an active RS-232 cable is con-
nected, signaling the host that a peripheral is connect-
ed to the communications port.
The MAX221 is available in a 16-pin SSOP package as
well as a 16-pin TSSOP that uses 50% less board space
than a 16-pin SO. For an equivalent RS-232 transceiver
with enhanced ±15kV ESD protection, refer to the
MAX221E data sheet.

high to place the
receiver in a high-impedance state. The receiver is high

The MAX221’s

output is pulled low when no
valid RS-232 signal level is detected on the receiver

and 3).
MAX221
AutoShutdown
The MAX221 achieves 1µA supply current with Maxim’s
AutoShutdown feature, which operates when FORCEON
is low and
FORCEOFF
is high. When the device senses
no valid signal levels on the receiver input for 30µs, the
on-board charge pump and driver are shut off, reducing
supply current to 1µA. This occurs if the RS-232 cable is
disconnected or the connected peripheral transmitter is
turned off. The MAX221 turns on again when a valid
level is applied to the RS-232 receiver input. As a result,
the system saves power without changes to the existing
BIOS or operating system.
Table 1 and Figure 2c summarize the MAX221 operat-
ing modes. FORCEON and
FORCEOFF
override
AutoShutdown. When neither control is asserted, the
device selects between these states automatically,
based on the receiver input level. Figures 2a, 2b, and
3a depict valid and invalid RS-232 receiver levels.
Figure 3 shows the input levels and timing diagram for
AutoShutdown operation.
A device or another system with AutoShutdown con-
nected to the MAX221 may need time to wake up.
Figure 4 shows a circuit that forces the transmitter on
for 100ms, allowing enough time for the other system to
realize that the MAX221 is awake. If the other system
transmits valid RS-232 signals within that time, the RS-
232 ports on both systems remain enabled.
When shut down, the device’s charge pumps are off,
V+ is pulled to V
CC
, V- is pulled to ground, and the
transmitter output is high impedance. The time required
to exit shutdown is typically 100µs (Figure 3b).

_______________Detailed Description
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX221’s internal power supply consists of a dual
charge pump that provides a positive output voltage
(doubling charge pump) and a negative voltage (invert-
ing charge pump) from a single +5V supply. The
charge pumps operate in continuous mode. Each
charge pump requires a flying capacitor (C1, C2) and a
reservoir capacitor (C3, C4) to generate the V+ and V-
supplies.
RS-232 Transmitter
The transmitter is an inverting level translator that con-
verts CMOS-logic levels to 5.0V EIA/TIA-232 levels. It
guarantees a 250kbps data rate with worst-case loads
of 3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF.
When
FORCEOFF
is driven to ground, or when the
AutoShutdown circuitry senses invalid voltage levels on
the receiver input, the transmitter is disabled and the out-
put is forced into a high-impedance state. The transmitter
input does not have a pull-up resistor.
Software-Controlled Shutdown
For direct software control, use
INVALID
to indicate a
DTR or Ring Indicator signal. Connect
FORCEOFF
and
FORCEON together to disable AutoShutdown so the
line acts like a
SHDN
input.
RS-232 Receiver
The MAX221’s receiver converts RS-232 signals to
CMOS-logic output levels. The receiver has an inverting
