General Description
The MAX3316–MAX3319 transceivers have a proprietary
low-dropout transmitter output stage enabling RS-232-
compatible performance from +2.25V to +3.0V with a
dual-charge pump. These devices require only four
0.1µF capacitors, and are guaranteed to operate at data
rates up to 460kbps.
The MAX3318/MAX3319 achieve a 1µA supply current
using Maxim’s revolutionary AutoShutdown Plus™ fea-
ture. These devices automatically enter a low-power
shutdown mode when the RS-232 cable is disconnected
or the transmitters of the connected peripherals are inac-
tive 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 MAX3318
is a 2-Tx/2-Rx device while the MAX3319 is a 1-Tx/1-Rx
device. These devices also feature a logic-level output
(READY) that asserts when the charge pump is regulat-
ing and the device is ready to begin transmitting.
The MAX3316/MAX3317 are 2-Tx/2-Rx transceivers. The
MAX3317 features a 1µA shutdown mode that can be
entered by driving SHDN low. The MAX3317’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:
MAX3316 (16-pin SSOP and 20-pin TSSOP), MAX3317/
MAX3318 (20-pin SSOP and 20-pin TSSOP), and
MAX3319 (16-pin SSOP).

Detailed Description
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX3316–MAX3319s’ internal power supply con-
sists 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 input voltage range. The charge pump operates
in discontinuous 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 (MAX3318/MAX3319) 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 Transmitters
The MAX3316–MAX3319s’ 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 3kin parallel
with 1000pF, providing compatibility with PC-to-PC
communication software (such as LapLink™).
The MAX3317’s transmitters are turned off (high imped-
ance) when SHDN is asserted low, putting the device in
shutdown mode. The MAX3318/MAX3319s’ transmitters
are turned off (high impedance) when FORCEOFF is
asserted low, or when the AutoShutdown Plus circuitry
senses that all receiver and transmitter inputs are inac-
tive for more than 30 seconds.
The transmitter outputs can be driven to ±12V when
power is off. The transmitter inputs do not have internal
pullup resistors. Connect unused inputs to GND or VCC.
Figure 1a shows an RS-232-compatibility circuit and
Figure 1b shows MAX3316–MAX3319 transmitter output
compatibility with an RS-232 receiver.
RS-232 Receivers
The MAX3316–MAX3319s’ receivers convert RS-232
signal levels into CMOS-logic output levels. The
receivers are rated to receive signals up to ±25V. The
MAX3316/MAX3318/MAX3319s’ receivers feature
inverting outputs that always remain active (Table 1).
The MAX3317’s receivers have inverting, three-state
outputs. In shutdown, the receivers can be active or
inactive (Table 2).
The MAX3318/MAX3319 feature an INVALID output that
is asserted low when no valid RS-232 voltage levels
have been detected on all receiver inputs. Because
INVALID indicates the receiver’s input condition, it
is independent of the states of FORCEON and
FORCEOFF.

Valid Signal Detector Output, Active Low. A logic
high indicates that a valid RS-232 level is present
on a receiver input.
Force-On Input, Active High. Drive high to override
AutoShutdown Plus, keeping transmitters and
receivers on (FORCEOFF must be high) (Table 1).
Force-Off Input, Active Low. Drive low to shut
down transmitters, receivers, and charge pump.

MAX3317 Shutdown Mode
Supply 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 disabled
(high impedance). The time required to exit shutdown is
typically 30µs, as shown in Figure 2. Connect SHDN to
VCC if the shutdown mode is not used; SHDN has no
effect on R_OUT.
MAX3318/MAX3319
AutoShutdown Plus Mode
Maxim’s AutoShutdown Plus feature on the MAX3318/
MAX3319 allows the supply current to fall to 1µA. These
devices will enter the AutoShutdown Plus mode if
FORCEOFF is 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. INVALID indicates 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 MAX3318/MAX3319. FORCEON and
FORCEOFF override 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).
By connecting FORCEON to INVALID, the MAX3318/
MAX3319 shut down when no valid receiver level is
detected and wake up when a valid receiver level is
detected.
A system with AutoShutdown Plus may need time to
wake up. Figure 5 shows a circuit that forces the trans-
mitters on for 100ms, allowing enough time for the other
system to realize that the MAX3318/MAX3319 is awake.
If the other system outputs valid RS-232 signal transi-
tions within that time, the RS-232 ports on both systems
remain enabled.
Connecting to the PC
(MAX3318/MAX3319)
If direct software control is desired, use INVALID to
indicate DTR or ring indicator (RI) signal. This can be
used to connect a hand-held device to a PC. One
example is using the hot sync function on a personal
digital assistant (PDA). The transmitter and receiver
signals (T_OUT and R_IN) are used for communication,
while INVALID causes a change of state on RI. The
change of state on RI will trigger an interrupt on the PC
and allow communication to begin between the device
and the PC. This eliminates the need for the PC to poll
constantly the receiver or transmitter lines to determine
if the device is connected.
Applications Information
RS-232-Compatible Operation
The MAX3316–MAX3319 do not meet EIA-232 require-
ments for transmitter output voltage levels. EIA-232 com-
pliance specifies transmitter output voltage swings of
±5V when loaded with 3kand 2500pF.
The receiver inputs are fully EIA-232 compliant.
The MAX3316–MAX3319 will function properly with most
modern RS-232 interfaces. This allows RS-232-compati-
ble communication in low-voltage systems without the
added expense of a voltage tripler or switched-mode
power supply.
Capacitor Selection
The capacitor type used for C1–C4 is not critical for
proper operation; polarized or nonpolarized capacitors
can be used. The charge pump requires 0.1µF capaci-
tors. Increasing the capacitor values (e.g., by a factor of
2) reduces ripple on the transmitter outputs and slightly
reduces power consumption. C2, C3, and C4 can be
increased without changing C1’s value. However, do
not increase C1 without also increasing the values of

C2, C3, C4, and CBYPASS to maintain proper ratios
(C1 to other capacitors).
When using the minimum-required capacitor values,
make sure the capacitor value does not degrade exces-
sively with temperature. If in doubt, use capacitors with
a higher nominal value. The capacitor’s equivalent
series resistance (ESR), which usually rises at low tem-
peratures, influences the amount of ripple on V+ and V-.
Power-Supply Decoupling
In most circumstances, a 0.1µF bypass capacitor is
adequate. In applications that are sensitive to power-
supply noise, decouple VCC to ground with a capacitor
of the same value as charge pump capacitor C1.
Connect bypass capacitors as close to the IC as possible.
Transmitter Outputs when
Exiting Shutdown
Figure 2 shows two transmitter outputs when exiting
shutdown mode. As they become active, the two trans-
mitter outputs are shown going to opposite RS-232-
compatible levels (one transmitter input is high, the
other is low). Each transmitter is loaded with 3kin par-

ringing or undesirable transients as they come out of
shutdown. Note that the transmitters are enabled only
when the magnitude of V- exceeds approximately -3V.
High Data Rates
The MAX3316–MAX3319 maintain RS-232-compatible
±3.7V minimum transmitter output voltage even at high
data rates. Figure 6 shows a transmitter loopback test
circuit. Figure 7 shows a loopback test result at
230kbps. For Figure 7, all transmitters were driven
simultaneously at 230kbps into EIA/TIA-562 loads in
parallel with 1000pF.
