puts are shown going to opposite RS-232 levels (one
transmitter input is high, the other is low). Each trans-
mitter is loaded with 3kΩ in parallel with 2500pF. The
transmitter outputs display no 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.
The MAX3238E/MAX3248E maintain the RS-232 ±5.0V
minimum transmitter output voltage even at high data
rates. Figure 8 shows a transmitter loopback test cir-
cuit. Figure 9 shows a loopback test result at 120kbps,
