Note 1:
V+ and V- can have maximum magnitudes of 7V, but their absolute difference cannot exceed 13V.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Detailed Description
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
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
CC
) over the +3.0V to +5.5V
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.
RS-232 Transmitters
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
