RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 Multiprotocol Transceivers
Features
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.
♦ Single Supply Operation from +3V to +5.5V
♦ ESD Protection

♦ Pin-Selectable as 2Tx/2Rx RS-232 or Single
RS-485/RS-422 (MAX3160E/MAX3161E)
♦ 2Tx/2Rx RS-232 and Single RS-485/RS-422
(MAX3162E)
♦ Pin-Selectable RS-232/RS-485 Transmitter Slew
Rates Reduce EMI
♦ 10Mbps RS-485 and 1Mbps RS-232 Data Rates
♦ Pin-Selectable Half-Duplex or Full-Duplex
RS-485/RS-422 Operation (MAX3160E/MAX3161E)
♦ RS-485/RS-422 True Fail-Safe Receivers
♦ 10nA Shutdown Supply Current
♦ 1/8-Unit Load Allows up to 256 Transceivers on
the Bus
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
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.
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 1–12, 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 5kΩ for RS-232 operation.
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 5kΩ 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
5kΩ when enabled, and RS-485 receiver inputs are
1/8-unit load.
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/MAX3162E’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), for input
voltages (V CC) over the +3.0V to +5.5V range. The
charge pumps operate in a discontinuous mode. If the

RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 Multiprotocol Transceivers
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).
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.)
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 receiver’s differential input
voltage is pulled to 0 by the termination. This results in
a logic-high with a 50mV minimum noise margin.
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 5kΩ resistors, forcing the outputs to a logic-high. The MAX3162E has transmitter and
receiver enable pins that allow its outputs to be tri-stated.
±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. Maxim’s 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
1.5kΩ resistor.
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 3kΩ 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.

Machine Model
The Machine Model for ESD testing uses a 200pF storage capacitor and zero-discharge resistance. It mimics
the stress caused by handling during manufacturing and
assembly. Of course, all pins (not just RS-485 inputs)
require this protection during manufacturing. Therefore,
the Machine Model is less relevant to the I/O ports than
are the Human Body Model and IEC 1000-4-2.

Capacitor Selection
The capacitor type used for C1–C4 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 0.1µF
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 C1’s 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
capacitor’s equivalent series resistance (ESR), which

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.

RS-232 Transmitter Outputs
when Exiting Shutdown
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 3kΩ 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.

256 Transceivers on the Bus
The standard RS-485 receiver input impedance is 12kΩ
(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 (48kΩ), 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 (96kΩ), 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.
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 +150°C.
Protection Against Wiring Faults
EIA/TIA-485 standards require a common input voltage
range of -7V to +12V to prevent damage to the device.

High Data Rates
The MAX3160E/MAX3161E/MAX3162E maintain the

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 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 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.

Multiprotocol Bus
The Typical Operating Circuit shows a standard application for the MAX3160E. The MAX3160E’s outputs are
multiplexed between RS-232 and RS-485 protocols by
a microprocessor (µP). The µP 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 µP 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.
