The complementary outputs on the MAX3237E/
MAX3241E (R_OUTB) are always active, regardless of the
state of EN or SHDN. This allows the device to be used
for ring indicator applications without forward biasing
other devices connected to the receiver outputs. This is
ideal for systems where V
to accommodate peripherals such as UARTs (Figure 2).

Supply current falls to less than 1µA in shutdown mode
(SHDN = low). The MAX3237E’s supply current falls
to10nA (typ) when all receiver inputs are in the invalid
range (-0.3V < R_IN < +0.3V). When shut down, the
device’s charge pumps are shut off, V+ is pulled down
to V
puts are disabled (high impedance). The time required
to recover from shutdown is typically 100µs, as shown
in Figure 3. Connect SHDN to V
not used. SHDN has no effect on R_OUT or R_OUTB
(MAX3237E/MAX3241E).
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures
are incorporated to protect against electrostatic dis-
charges encountered during handling and assembly.
The driver outputs and receiver inputs of the
MAX3222E/MAX3232E/MAX3237E/MAX3241E/MAX3246E
have extra protection against static electricity. Maxim’s
engineers have 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 E versions keep working without
latchup, whereas competing RS-232 products can latch
and must be powered down to remove latchup.
Furthermore, the MAX3237E logic I/O pins also have
±15kV ESD protection. Protecting the logic I/O pins to
±15kV makes the MAX3237E ideal for data cable
applications.
