KIT ATION EVALU E L B AVAILA

15kV ESD-Protected, +3.0V to +5.5V, 10nA, RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 Multiprotocol Transceivers

General Description
The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E are programmable RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 multiprotocol transceivers. The MAX3160E/MAX3161E are pin programmable as a 2Tx/2Rx RS-232 interface or a single RS-485/RS-422 transceiver. The MAX3162E is configured as a 2Tx/2Rx RS-232 interface, and a single RS-485/RS-422 transceiver simultaneously. The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E feature enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. All of the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to 15kV using the Human Body Model. All devices incorporate a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage, and an on-board dual charge pump to allow RS-232- and RS-485-/RS-422-compliant performance from a +3V to +5.5V supply. The receivers feature true fail-safe circuitry that guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted. These devices also feature pin-selectable transmitter slew rates for RS-232 and RS-485/RS-422 modes. Slewrate limiting minimizes EMI and reduces reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing errorfree data transmission up to 250kbps. Disabling slew-rate limiting allows these devices to transmit at data rates up to 10Mbps in RS-485/RS-422 mode and up to 1Mbps in RS-232 mode. The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E feature a 10nA shutdown mode, short-circuit limiting, and thermal shutdown circuitry to protect against excessive power dissipation. The MAX3160E/MAX3162E offer a flow-through pinout that facilitates board layout. The MAX3160E/ MAX3161E/MAX3162E are available in tiny SSOP packages and operate over the commercial and extended temperature ranges.

15kV ESD-Protected, +3.0V to +5.5V, 10nA, RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 Multiprotocol Transceivers

Detailed Description
The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E +3V to +5.5V, multiprotocol transceivers can be pin-configured in a number of RS-232 and RS-485/RE-422 interface combinations. These circuit configurations are ideal for the design of RS-232 to RS-485 converters, multiprotocol buses, or any application that requires both RS-232 and RS-485 transceivers. The slew rate of these devices is on-the-fly pin selectable, allowing reduced EMI data rates, or up to 10Mbps RS-485 communications. Power consumption can be reduced to 10nA by using the shutdown function, but the RS-232 receivers remain active allowing other devices to query the interface controller. A flow-through pinout and the space-saving SSOP packages (available in commercial and extended temperature ranges) facilitate board layout. MAX3161E The MAX3161E is a 2T X /2R X RS-232 transceiver in RS-232 mode or a single RS-485/RS-422 transceiver in RS-485 mode. When in RS-485 mode, the unused RS232 transmitter and receiver outputs are disabled. When in RS-232 mode, the RS-485 transmitter outputs are disabled and the RS-232 receiver inputs are 5k to GND. The RS-485 receiver inputs are always 1/8-unit load. Logic lines are shared between the two protocols and are used for signal inputs and as an RS-485 driver enable. MAX3162E The MAX3162E is a 2Tx/2Rx RS-232 transceiver and a single RS-485/RS-422 transceiver simultaneously. All drivers, receivers, and transmitters can be enabled or disabled by pin selection. All outputs are high-impedance when not activated. RS-232 receiver inputs are 5k when enabled, and RS-485 receiver inputs are 1/8-unit load.

MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E

Device Selection
The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E contain RS-232 transceivers and an RS-485/RS-422 transceiver. The primary difference between the devices is the multiplexing of the I/O ports. The MAX3160E has common transmitter outputs and receiver inputs for its RS-232 and RS-485/RS-422 transceivers, and common digital I/O ports. The MAX3160E is optimized for multiprotocol operation on a single interface bus and comes in a 20-pin SSOP package. The MAX3161E has separate transmitter outputs and receiver inputs for its RS-232 and RS-485/RS-422 transceivers, and common digital I/O ports. The MAX3161E is optimized for multiplexing a single UART across two interface buses and is available in a 24-pin SSOP package. The MAX3162E has separate transmitter outputs and receiver inputs for its RS-232 and RS-485/RS-422 transceivers, and separate digital I/O ports. The MAX3162E is optimized for protocol translation between two interface buses and comes in a 28-pin SSOP package. See Tables 112, the Functional Diagrams, and the following descriptions for details on each device. MAX3160E The MAX3160E is a 2T X /2R X RS-232 transceiver in RS-232 mode, capable of RS-232-compliant communication. Assertion of RS-485/RS-232 converts the device to a single RS-485 transceiver by multiplexing the RS232 I/O ports to an RS-485 driver and receiver pair. The logic inputs now control the driver input and the driver enable. One logic output carries the RS-485 receiver output, and the other is tri-stated. The receiver input impedance is dependent on the device mode and is 1/4-unit load for RS-485 operation and 5k for RS-232 operation.

Fast-Mode Operation
The FAST control input is used to select the slew-rate limiting of the RS-232 transmitters and the RS-485/ RS-422 drivers. With FAST unasserted, the RS-232 transmitters and the RS-485/RS-422 driver are slew-rate limited to reduce EMI. RS-232 data rates up to 1Mbps and RS-485/RS-422 data rates up to 10Mbps are possible when FAST is asserted. FAST can be changed during operation without interrupting data communications.

Half-Duplex RS-485/RS-422 Operation

Asserting HDPLX places the MAX3160E/MAX3161E in half-duplex mode. The RS-485 receiver inputs are internally connected to the driver outputs. To receive RS-485 data, disable the RS-485 outputs by driving DE485 low. HDPLX has no affect on RS-232 operation.

Low-Power Shutdown
The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E have an activelow shutdown control input, SHDN. When SHDN is driven low, the charge pump and transmitters are shut down and supply current is reduced to 10nA. The RS-232 receiver outputs remain active if in RS-232 mode. The charge-pump capacitors must be recharged when coming out of shutdown before resuming operation in either RS-232 or RS-485/RS-422 mode (Figure 12).

Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter

The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162Es 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), for input voltages (V CC) over the +3.0V to +5.5V range. The charge pumps operate in a discontinuous mode. If the

magnitude of either output voltage is less than +5.5V, the charge pumps are enabled. If the magnitude of both output voltages exceeds +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 (see the Functional Diagrams). The receivers convert RS-232 signals to CMOS-logic output levels. All receivers have inverting outputs that remain active in shutdown. The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/ MAX3162E permit their receiver inputs to be driven to 25V. Floating receiver input signals are pulled to ground through internal 5k resistors, forcing the outputs to a logic-high. The MAX3162E has transmitter and receiver enable pins that allow its outputs to be tri-stated.

RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E RS-485/RS-422 transceivers feature fail-safe circuitry that guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted, or when they are connected to a terminated transmission line with all drivers disabled (see the Fail-Safe Section). The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/ MAX3162E also feature pin-selectable reduced slewrate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data transmission up to 250kbps The transmitters can operate at speeds up to 10Mbps with the slew-rate limiting disabled. Drivers are short-circuit current limited and thermally limited to protect them against excessive power dissipation. Half-duplex communication is enabled by driving HDPLX high (MAX3160E/MAX3161E.)

15kV ESD Protection

As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures are incorporated on all pins to protect against ESD encountered during handling and assembly. The MAX3160E/ MAX3161E/MAX3162E receiver inputs and transmitter outputs have extra protection against static electricity found in normal operation. Maxims engineers developed state-of-the-art structures to protect these pins against 15kV ESD, without damage. After an ESD event, the MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E continue working without latchup. The receiver inputs and transmitter outputs are characterized for 15kV ESD protection using the Human Body Model ESD Test Conditions ESD performance depends on a number of conditions. Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents test setup, methodology, and results. Human Body Model Figure 13a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure 13b shows the current waveform it generates when discharged into a low impedance. This model consists of a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest, which is then discharged into the device through a 1.5k resistor.

Fail-Safe
The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E guarantee a logic-high RS-485 receiver output when the receiver inputs are shorted or open, or when they are connected to a terminated transmission line with all drivers disabled. This is done by having the receiver threshold between -50mV and -200mV. If the differential receiver input voltage (A-B) is greater than or equal to -50mV, RO is logic-high. If A-B is less than or equal to -200mV, RO is logic-low. In the case of a terminated bus with all transmitters disabled, the receivers differential input voltage is pulled to 0 by the termination. This results in a logic-high with a 50mV minimum noise margin.

RS-232 Transceivers
The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E RS-232 transmitters are inverting-level translators that convert CMOS-logic levels to 5V EIA/TIA-232-compliant levels. The transmitters are guaranteed at a 250kbps data rate in slew-rate limited mode (FAST = GND) with worst-case loads of 3k in parallel with 1000pF. Data rates up to 1Mbps can be achieved by asserting FAST. When powered down or in shutdown, the MAX3160E/ MAX3161E/MAX3162E outputs are high impedance and can be driven to 13.2V. The transmitter inputs do not have pullup resistors. Connect unused inputs to ground or VCC.

Of course, all pins (not just RS-485 inputs) require this protection during manufacturing.

Applications Information
Capacitor Selection
The capacitor type used for C1C4 is not critical for proper operation; polarized or nonpolarized capacitors can be used. Ceramic chip capacitors with an X7R dielectric provide the best combination of performance, cost, and size. The charge pump requires 0.1F capacitors for 3.3V operation. For other supply voltages, see Table 13 for required capacitor values. Do not use values smaller than those listed in Table 13. Increasing the capacitor values reduces ripple on the transmitter outputs and slightly reduces power consumption. C2, C3, and C4 can be changed without changing C1s value. However, do not increase C1 without also increasing the values of C2, C3, C4, and CBYPASS to maintain the proper ratios to the other capacitors. When using the minimum required capacitor values, make sure the capacitance value does not degrade excessively with temperature or voltage. This is typical of Y5V and Z5U dielectric ceramic capacitors. If in doubt, use capacitors with a larger nominal value. The capacitors equivalent series resistance (ESR), which

usually rises at low temperatures, influences the amount of ripple on V+ and V-.

Power-Supply Decoupling
In applications that are sensitive to power-supply noise, decouple VCC to ground with a capacitor of the same value as reservoir capacitors C2, C3, and C4. Connect the bypass capacitor as close to the IC as possible.

Figure 12 shows two transmitter outputs when exiting shutdown mode. As they become active, the two transmitter outputs are shown going to opposite RS-232 levels (one transmitter input is high, the other is low). Each transmitter is loaded with 3k in parallel with 1000pF. The transmitter outputs display no ringing or undesirable transients as they come out of shutdown. Note that the transmitters are enabled only when V- exceeds approximately -3V.

High Data Rates

The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E maintain the RS-232 5V required minimum transmitter output voltage even at high data rates. Figure 14 shows a transmitter loopback test circuit. Figure 15 shows a loopback test result at 250kbps, and Figure 16 shows the same test at 1Mbps. Figure 15 demonstrates a single slew-rate limited transmitter driven at 250kbps (FAST = GND) into an RS-232 load in parallel with 1000pF. Figure 17 shows a single transmitter driven at 1Mbps (FAST asserted), loaded with an RS-232 receiver in parallel with 1000pF. These transceivers maintain the RS-232 5V minimum transmitter output voltage at data rates up to 1Mbps. The standard RS-485 receiver input impedance is 12k (one-unit load), and the standard driver can drive up to 32-unit loads. The MAX3160E has a 1/4-unit load receiver input impedance (48k), allowing up to 128 transceivers to be connected in parallel on one communication line. The MAX3161E/MAX3162E have a 1/8unit load receiver input impedance (96k), allowing up to 256 transceivers to be connected in parallel on one communication line. Any combination of these devices and/or other RS-485 transceivers with a total of 32-unit loads or fewer can be connected to the line.

256 Transceivers on the Bus

The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E inputs are protected to RS-232 levels of 25V for the receiver inputs and 13V for the transmitter/driver outputs. This provides additional protection for the RS-485 transceivers against ground differential or faults due to miswiring.

RS-485/RS-422 Reduced EMI and Reflections

The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E can be configured for slew-rate limiting by pulling FAST low. This minimizes EMI and reduces reflections caused by improperly terminated cables. Operation in slew-rate limited mode reduces the amplitudes of high-frequency harmonics.

RS-485/RS-422 Driver Output Protection

Two mechanisms prevent excessive output current and power dissipation caused by faults or by bus contention. The first, a foldback current limit on the output stage, provides immediate protection against short circuits over the whole common-mode voltage range (see the Typical Operating Characteristics). The second, a thermal shutdown circuit, forces the driver outputs into a high-impedance state if the die temperature becomes excessive, typically over +150C.

RS-485/RS-422 Line Length vs. Data Length

The RS-485/RS-422 standard covers line lengths up to 4000ft. For line lengths greater than 4000ft, use the repeater application shown in Figure 17.

RS-232/RS-485 Protocol Translator

Figure 18 shows the MAX3162E configured as an RS-232/RS-485 protocol translator. The direction of translation is controlled through the RTS signal (R1IN). The single-ended RS-232 receiver input signal is translated to a differential RS-485 transmitter output. Similarly, a differential RS-485 receiver input signal is translated to a single-ended RS-232 transmitter output. RS-232 data received on R2IN is transmitted as an RS485 signal on Z and Y. RS-485 signals received on A and B are transmitted as an RS-232 signal on T1OUT.

Protection Against Wiring Faults

EIA/TIA-485 standards require a common input voltage range of -7V to +12V to prevent damage to the device.

Multiprotocol Bus The Typical Operating Circuit shows a standard application for the MAX3160E. The MAX3160Es outputs are multiplexed between RS-232 and RS-485 protocols by a microprocessor (P). The P also directs the shutdown functions, enable lines, and the duplex of the MAX3160E. Data is transmitted to the MAX3100 UART through an SPI port. The UART asynchronously transfers data through the MAX3160E to the pin-selected RS-232 or RS-485 protocal. See Table 14 for commonly used cable connections.

Multiprotocol Bus Multiplexer

The Typical Application Circuit shows the MAX3161E configured as a multiprotocol bus multiplexer. The MAX3161E separates the RS-232 and RS-485 lines, but shares the logic pins between modes. This application allows the P to monitor a point-to-point RS-232 bus, and a multidrop RS-485 interface. The MAX3100 UART asynchronously transfers data through the MAX3161E to the pin-selected RS-232 or RS-485 protocol.
