19-1077; Rev 0; 9/96 MAXIMA +15kV ESD-Protected, EMC-Compliant, 230kbps RS-232 Serial Port for Modems General Description The MAX3186 is a complete DCE RS-232 serial port designed to meet the stringent ESD requirements of the European community. All transmitter outputs and receiv- er inputs are protected to +15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge, +8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge, and +15kV using the Human Bady Model. Tne MAX3186 has five RS-232 transmitters, three RS- 232 receivers, and no charge pump, optimizing it for operation in modem applications, {t is guaranteed to run at data rates up to 230kbps, providing compatibility with popular software for communicating with personal computers. Power-supply current is less than 300A for Ipp and igs, and less than 1mA for tcc. The MAX3186 is available in an SO package and in the tiny SSOP that further reduces board space.

The MAX3186 driver outputs and receiver inputs have extra protection against static electricity found in normal operation. Maxims engineers devel- oped state-of-the-art structures to protect these pins against ESD of +15kV, without damage. After an ESD event, the MAX3186 continues working without latchup. ESD protection can be tested in several ways. The transmitter outputs and the receiver inputs are charac- terized for protection to the following: 1) +15kV using the Human Body Model 2) +8kV using the Contact-Discharge Method specified in IEC1000-4-2 (formerly 1EC801-2) 3) +15kV using the Air-Gap Method specified in IEC 1000-4-2 (formerly [EC801-2) ESD Test Conditions ESD performance depends on a number of conditions.

This model consists of a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of inter- est, which is then discharged into the device through a 1.5kQ resistor. 1EC1000-4-2 The IEC1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and per- formance of finished equipment; it does not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The MAX3186 helps you design equipment that meets Level 4 (the highest level) of IEC 1000-4-2, without additional ESD-protection com- ponents. The main difference between tests done using the Human Body Model and 1EC1000-4-2 is higher peak current in IEC 1000-4-2. Because series resistance is lower in the IEC1000-4-2 ESD test modei (Figure 1a), the ESD withstand voltage measured to this standard is generally lower than measured using the Human Body Model. Figure 1b shows the current waveform for the +8kV IEC 1000-4-2 Level 4 ESD Contact-Discharge test. The Air-Gap test involves approaching the device with a charge probe. The Contact-Discharge method connects the probe to the device before the probe is energized. Machine Model The Machine Model for ESD testing uses a 200pF stor- age capacitor and zero-discharge resistance. It mimics the stress caused by handling during manufacturing and assembly. Of course, all pins (not just RS-232 inputs and outputs) require this protection during man- ufacturing. Therefore, the Machine Model is less rele- vant to the I/O ports than are the Human Body Model and [EC 1000-4-2. Applications Information Use proper layout to ensure other devices on your board are not damaged in an ESD strike. Currents as high as 60A can instantaneously pass into the ground, so be sure to minimize the ground-iead return path to the power supply. A separate return path to the power supply is recommend. Trace widths should be greater than 40 mils. Bypass Vcc, Vpb, and Vss with 0.1uF capacitors as close to the part as possible to ensure maximum ESD protection. Tie any transmitter inputs to GND or Vcc. No external protection diodes are needed because the MAX3186 is not sensitive to power-supply sequencing.
