±±70 Faultꢀ-rotected, 3.70 to 5.50,
2Tx/2Rx RSꢀ232 Transceiver
MAX123E
General Description
Features
The MAX13223E is a +3.0V to +5.5V-powered EIA/TIA-
232 and V.28 communications interface with fault protec-
tion on the RS-232 line interface. This allows shorts of the
transmitter outputs and receiver inputs to voltages in the
±±0V range without adverselꢀ affecting the MAX13223E.

The MAX13223E achieves 1µA supplꢀ current using
Maxim’s AutoShutdown™ feature. The MAX13223E
automaticallꢀ enters a low-power shutdown mode when
the RS-232 cable is disconnected or the receivers are
inactive. The device turns on again when a valid transi-
tion at anꢀ receiver input is sensed. A proprietarꢀ, high-
efficiencꢀ, dual charge-pump power supplꢀ and a
low-dropout transmitter combine to deliver true RS-232
performance from a single +3.0V to +5.5V supplꢀ.

The MAX13223E has two receivers and two drivers and is
guaranteed to run at data rates of 250kbps for one trans-
mitter switching while maintaining RS-232 output levels.
Ordering Information
The MAX13223E operates from input voltages ranging
from +3.0V to +5.5V and is available in a 20-pin, 6.5mm
x 4.4mm, TSSOP package. The MAX13223E is speci-
fied over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
