General Description

The MAX202E-MAX213E, MAX232E, and MAX241E are a
family of RS-232 and V.28 transceivers with high ±15kV
ESD HBM protection and integrated charge pump circuit-
ry for single +5V supply operation. The various combina-
tions of features are outlined in the Selector Guide.The
drivers and receivers for all ten devices meet all EIA/TIA-
232E and CCITT V.28 specifications at data rates up to
120kbps when loaded.
The MAX211E/MAX213E/MAX241E are available in 28-
pin SO and SSOP packages. The MAX202E/MAX232E
come in 16-pin TSSOP, narrow SO, wide SO, and DIP
packages. The MAX203E comes in a 20-pin DIP/SO
package, and needs no external charge-pump capaci-
tors. The MAX205E comes in a 24-pin wide DIP pack-
age, and also eliminates external charge-pump
capacitors.

Detailed Description

The MAX202E–MAX213E, MAX232E/MAX241E consist of
three sections: charge-pump voltage converters, dri-
vers (transmitters), and receivers. These E versions
provide extra protection against ESD. They survive
±15kV dischargesto the RS-232 inputs andoutputs,
testedusingthe Human Body Model. When tested
according to IEC1000-4-2, they survive ±8kV contact-
discharges and ±15kV air-gap discharges. The rugged
E versions are intended for use in harsh environments
or applications where the RS-232 connection is fre-
quently changed (such as notebook computers). The
standard (non-“E”) MAX202, MAX203, MAX205–
MAX208, MAX211, MAX213, MAX232, and MAX241 are
recommended for applications where cost is critical.
+5V to ±10V Dual Charge-Pump
Voltage Converter

The +5V to ±10V conversion is performed by dual
charge-pump voltage converters (Figure 4). The first
charge-pump converter uses capacitor C1 to double
the +5V into +10V, storing the +10V on the output filter
into -10V, storing the -10V on the V- output filter capaci-
tor, C4.
In shutdown mode, V+ is internally connected to VCCby
a 1kΩpull-down resistor, and V- is internally connected
to ground by a 1kΩpull up resistor.
RS-232 Drivers

With VCC= 5V, the typical driver output voltage swing
is ±8V when loaded with a nominal 5kΩRS-232 receiv-
er. The output swing is guaranteed to meet EIA/TIA-
232E and V.28 specifications that call for ±5V minimum
output levels under worst-case conditions. These
include a 3kΩload, minimum VCC, and maximum oper-
ating temperature. The open-circuit output voltage
swings from (V+ - 0.6V) to V-.
Input thresholds are CMOS/TTL compatible. The
unused drivers’ inputs on the MAX205E–MAX208E,
MAX211E, MAX213E, and MAX241E can be left uncon-
nected because 400kΩpull up resistors to VCCare
included on-chip. Since all drivers invert, the pull up
resistors force the unused drivers’ outputs low. The
MAX202E, MAX203E, and MAX232E do not have pull
up resistors on the transmitter inputs.
MAX202E–MAX213E,
MAX232E/MAX241E
±15kV ESD-Protected,
5V RS-232 Transceivers
When in low-power shutdown mode, the MAX205E/
MAX206E/MAX211E/MAX213E/MAX241E driver outputs
are turned off and draw only leakage currents—even if
they are back-driven with voltages between 0V and
12V. Below -0.5V in shutdown, the transmitter output is
diode-clamped to ground with a 1kΩseries imped-
ance.
RS-232 Receivers

The receivers convert the RS-232 signals to CMOS-logic
output levels. The guaranteed 0.8V and 2.4V receiver
input thresholds are significantly tighter than the ±3V
thresholds required by the EIA/TIA-232E specification.
This allows the receiver inputs torespond to TTL/CMOS-
logic levels, as well as RS-232 levels.
The guaranteed 0.8V input low threshold ensures that
receivers shorted to ground have a logic 1 output. The
5kΩinput resistance to ground ensures that a receiver
with its input left open will also have a logic 1 output.
Receiver inputs have approximately 0.5V hysteresis.
This provides clean output transitions, even with slow
rise/fall-time signals with moderate amounts of noise
and ringing.
In shutdown, the MAX213E’s R4 and R5 receivers have
no hysteresis.
Shutdown and Enable Control
(MAX205E/MAX206E/MAX211E/
MAX213E/MAX241E)

In shutdown mode, the charge pumps are turned off,
V+ is pulled down to VCC, V- is pulled to ground, and
the transmitter outputs are disabled. This reduces sup-
ply current typically to 1µA (15µA for the MAX213E).
The time required to exit shutdown is under 1ms, as
shown in Figure 5.
Receivers

All MAX213E receivers, except R4 and R5, are put into
a high-impedance state in shutdown mode (see Tables
1a and 1b). The MAX213E’s R4 and R5 receivers still
function in shutdown mode. These two awake-in-shut-
down receivers can monitor external activity while main-
taining minimal power consumption.
The enable control is used to put the receiver outputs into
a high-impedance state, to allow wire-OR connection of
two EIA/TIA-232E ports (or ports of different types) at the
UART. It has no effect on the RS-232 drivers or the
charge pumps.
Note: The enable control pin is active
low for the
MAX211E/MAX241E (EN), but is active high for the
MAX213E (EN). The shutdown control pin is active high

(SHDN), but is active low for the MAX213E (SHDN).
The MAX213E’s receiver propagation delay is typically
0.5µs in normal operation. In shutdown mode, propaga-
tion delay increases to 4µs for both rising and falling
transitions. The MAX213E’s receiver inputs have
approximately 0.5V hysteresis, except in shutdown,
when receivers R4 and R5 have no hysteresis.
When entering shutdown with receivers active, R4 and
R5 are not valid until 80µs after SHDNis driven low.
When coming out of shutdown, all receiver outputs are
invalid until the charge pumps reach nominal voltage
levels (less than 2ms when using 0.1µF capacitors).
±15kV ESD Protection

As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures
are incorporated on all pins to protect against electro-
static discharges encountered during handling and
assembly. The driver outputs and receiver inputs have
extra protection against static electricity. Maxim’s engi-
neers developed state-of-the-art structures to protect
these pins against ESD of ±15kV without damage. The
ESD structures withstand high ESD in all states: normal
operation, shutdown, and powered down. After an ESD
event, Maxim’s Eversions keep working without latchup,
whereas competing RS-232 products can latch and
must be powered down to remove latchup.
ESD protection can be tested in various ways; the
transmitter outputs and receiver inputs of this product
family are characterized for protection to the following
limits:±15kV using the Human Body Model±8kV using the contact-discharge method specified
in IEC1000-4-2±15kV using IEC1000-4-2’s air-gap method.
ESD Test Conditions

ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions.

test set-up, test methodology, and test results.

IEC1000-4-2

The IEC1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and per-
formance of finished equipment; it does not specifically
refer to integrated circuits. The
MAX202E/MAX203E–MAX213E, MAX232E/MAX241E
help you design equipment that meets level 4 (the high-
est level) of IEC1000-4-2, without the need for addition-
al ESD-protection components.
The major difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC1000-4-2 is higher peak
current in IEC1000-4-2, because series resistance is
lower in the IEC1000-4-2 model. Hence, the ESD with-
stand voltage measured to IEC1000-4-2 is generally
lower than that measured using the Human Body
Model. Figure 7b shows the current waveform for the
8kV IEC1000-4-2 level-four ESD contact-discharge test.
The air-gap test involves approaching the device with a
charged probe. The contact-discharge method con-
nects the probe to the device before the probe is ener-
gized.
Machine Model

The Machine Model for ESD tests all pins using a
200pF storage capacitor and zero discharge resis-
tance. Its objective is to emulate the stress caused by
contact that occurs with handling and assembly during
manufacturing. Of course, all pins require this protec-
tion during manufacturing, not just RS-232 inputs and

Applications Information
Capacitor Selection

The capacitor type used for C1–C4 is not critical for
proper operation. The MAX202E, MAX206–MAX208E,
MAX211E, and MAX213E require 0.1µF capacitors,
and the MAX232E and MAX241E require 1µF capaci-
tors, although in all cases capacitors up to 10µF can
be used without harm. Ceramic, aluminum-electrolytic,
or tantalum capacitors are suggested for the 1µF
capacitors, and ceramic dielectrics are suggested for
the 0.1µF capacitors. When using the minimum recom-
mended capacitor values, make sure the capacitance
value does not degrade excessively as the operating
temperature varies. If in doubt, use capacitors with a
larger (e.g., 2x) nominal value. The capacitors’ effec-
tive series resistance (ESR), which usually rises at low
temperatures, influences the amount of ripple on V+
and V-.
Use larger capacitors (up to 10µF) to reduce the output
impedance at V+ and V-. This can be useful when
“stealing” power from V+ or from V-. The MAX203E and
MAX205E have internal charge-pump capacitors.
Bypass VCCto ground with at least 0.1µF. In applica-
tions sensitive to power-supply noise generated by the
charge pumps, decouple VCCto ground with a capaci-
tor the same size as (or larger than) the charge-pump
capacitors (C1–C4).
V+ and V- as Power Supplies

A small amount of power can be drawn from V+ and V-,
although this will reduce both driver output swing and
noise margins. Increasing the value of the charge-pump
capacitors (up to 10µF) helps maintain performance
when power is drawn from V+ or V-.
Driving Multiple Receivers

Each transmitter is designed to drive a single receiver.
Transmitters can be paralleled to drive multiple
receivers.
Driver Outputs when Exiting Shutdown

The driver outputs display no ringing or undesirable
transients as they come out of shutdown.
High Data Rates

These transceivers maintain the RS-232 ±5.0V mini-
mum driver output voltages at data rates of over
120kbps. For data rates above 120kbps, refer to the
Transmitter Output Voltage vs. Load Capacitance
graphs in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
Communication at these high rates is easier if the
capacitive loads on the transmitters are small; i.e.,
short cables are best.
