The MAX3221/MAX3223/MAX3243’s internal power
supply consists of a regulated dual charge pump that
provides output voltages of +5.5V (doubling charge
pump) and -5.5V (inverting charge pump), regardless
of the input voltage (V
range. The charge pumps operate in a discontinuous
mode: if the output voltages are less than 5.5V, the
charge pumps are enabled; if the output voltages
exceed 5.5V, the charge pumps are disabled. Each
charge pump requires a flying capacitor (C1, C2) and
a reservoir capacitor (C3, C4) to generate the V+ and
V- supplies.

the receiver outputs into a high-Z state.

Output of the valid signal detector. Indicates if a valid RS-232 level is pres-
ent on receiver inputs logic “1”.
Drive low to shut down transmitters and on-board power supply. This over-
rides all automatic circuitry and FORCEON (Table 1).
Drive high to override automatic circuitry keeping transmitters on
(FORCEOFF must be high) (Table 1).

The transmitters are inverting level translators that con-
vert CMOS-logic levels to 5.0V EIA/TIA-232 levels. They
guarantee a 120kbps data rate with worst-case loads of
3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF, providing compatibility with
PC-to-PC communication software (such as Laplink™).
Typically, the MAX3221/MAX3223/MAX3243 can oper-
ate at data rates of 235kbps. Transmitters can be paral-
leled to drive multiple receivers or mice (MAX3243).
Figure 1 shows a complete system connection.
When FORCEOFF is driven to ground, or the Auto-
Shutdown circuitry senses invalid voltage levels at all
receiver inputs, the transmitters are disabled and the
outputs are forced into a high-impedance state.
