________________General DescriptionThe MAX3316E–MAX3319E are 2.5V powered RS-232
compatible transceivers. These devices feature shut-
down (MAX3317E), AutoShutdown Plus™ (MAX3318E/
MAX3319E), and enhanced electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protection integrated into the chip. All transmitter
outputs and receiver inputs are protected to ±15kV
using the IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge method,
±8kV using the IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge
method, and ±15kV using the Human Body Model.
All devices are guaranteed at a data rate of 460kbps.
The transceivers have a proprietary low-dropout trans-
mitter output stage enabling RS-232 compatible opera-
tion from a +2.25V to +3.0V supply with a dual charge
pump. The charge pump requires only four 0.1µF
capacitors. The MAX3318E/MAX3319E feature a logic-
level output (READY) that asserts when the charge
pump is regulating and the device is ready to begin
transmitting.
The MAX3318E/MAX3319E achieve a 1µA supply current
using Maxim’s revolutionary AutoShutdown Plus feature.
These devices automatically enter a low-power shut-
down mode when the RS-232 cable is disconnected or
the transmitters of the connected peripherals are inactive
for more than 30 seconds. They turn on again when
they sense a valid transition at any transmitter or receiver
input. AutoShutdown Plus saves power without
changes to the existing BIOS or operating system. The
MAX3317E also features a 1µA shutdown mode that
can be entered by driving SHDNlow. The MAX3317E’s
receivers remain active while in shutdown mode, allowing
external devices such as modems to be monitored
using only 1µA supply current.
These devices are available in space-saving packages:
MAX3316E (16-pin SSOP and 20-pin TSSOP), MAX3317E/
MAX3318E (20-pin SSOP and 20-pin TSSOP), and
MAX3319E (16-pin SSOP).

Detailed Description
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage ConverterThe MAX3316E–MAX3319Es’ internal power supply
consists of a regulated dual charge pump that provides
output voltages of +4.4V (doubling charge pump) and
-4.3V (inverting charge pump), over the +2.25V to
+3.0V range. The charge pump operates in discontinu-
ous mode: if the output voltages are less than 4.4V, the
charge pump is enabled; if the output voltages exceed
4.4V, the charge pump is disabled. Each charge pump
requires a flying capacitor (C1, C2) and a reservoir
capacitor (C3, C4) to generate the V+ and V- supplies.
The READY output (MAX3318E/MAX3319E) is low
when the charge pumps are disabled in shutdown
mode. The READY signal asserts high when V- goes
below -2.75V.
RS-232 Compatible TransmittersThe MAX3316E–MAX3319Es’ transmitters are inverting
level translators that convert CMOS-logic levels to
RS-232 compatible voltage levels. They guarantee a
460kbps data rate with worst-case loads of 3kΩin parallel
with 1000pF, providing compatibility with PC-to-PC
communication software (such as LapLink™).
The MAX3317E’s transmitters are turned off (high
impedance) when SHDNis asserted low, putting the
device in shutdown mode. The MAX3318E/MAX3319Es’
transmitters are turned off (high impedance) when
FORCEOFFis asserted low, or when the AutoShutdown
Plus circuitry senses that all receiver and transmitter
inputs are inactive for more than 30 seconds.
The transmitter outputs can be driven to ±12V when
power is off. The transmitter inputs do not have internal
pull-up resistors. Connect unused inputs to GND or VCC.
RS-232 ReceiversThe MAX3316E–MAX3319Es’ receivers convert ±3.7V
to ±13.2V RS-232 signal levels into CMOS-logic output
levels. The receivers are rated to receive signals up to
±25V. The MAX3316E/MAX3318E/MAX3319Es’
receivers feature inverting outputs that always remain
active (Table 1). The MAX3317E’s receivers have
inverting, three-state outputs. In shutdown, the
receivers can be active or inactive (Table 2).
The MAX3318E/MAX3319E feature an INVALIDoutput
that is asserted low when no valid RS-232 voltage levels
have been detected on all receiver inputs. Because
INVALIDindicates the receiver’s input condition, it
is independent of the states of FORCEON and
FORCEOFF.
MAX3317E Shutdown ModeSupply current falls to less than 1µA in shutdown mode
(SHDN= low). When shut down, the device’s charge
pumps are turned off, V+ is pulled down to VCC, V- is
pulled to ground, and the transmitter outputs are dis-
abled (high impedance). The time required to exit shut-LapLink is a trademark of Traveling Software.

MAX3318E/MAX3319E
AutoShutdown Plus ModeMaxim’s AutoShutdown Plus feature on the MAX3318E/
MAX3319E allows the supply current to fall to 1µA.
These devices will enter the AutoShutdown Plus mode if
FORCEOFFis high, FORCEON is low, and they do not
sense a valid signal transition on any receiver or trans-
mitter input for 30 seconds. This may occur if the RS-232
cable is disconnected or if the peripheral transmitters
are turned off, and the UART driving the transmitter
inputs is inactive. The system turns on again when a
valid transition is applied to any RS-232 receiver or
transmitter input. As a result, the system saves power
without changes to the existing BIOS or operating system.
Figure 4a depicts valid and invalid RS-232 receiver volt-
age levels. INVALIDindicates the receiver input’s condi-
tion and is independent of FORCEON and FORCEOFF
states. Figure 3 and Table 1 summarize the operating
modes of the MAX3318E/MAX3319E. FORCEON and
FORCEOFFoverride AutoShutdown Plus circuitry. When
neither control is asserted, the IC selects between these
states automatically based on the last receiver or trans-
mitter edge received.
When shut down, the device’s charge pumps turn off,
V+ is pulled to VCC, V- is pulled to ground, the transmitter
outputs are high impedance, and READY is driven low.
The time required to exit shutdown is typically 30µs
(Figure 2).
