supply current typically drops to 8µA in shutdown mode.
The MAX220 does not have pull-up resistors to force the
ouputs of the unused drivers low. Connect unused inputs
The MAX220–MAX249 contain four sections: dual

vers, RS-232 receivers, and receiver and transmitter

CC
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX220–MAX249 have two internal charge-pumps
that convert +5V to ±±0V (unloaded) for RS-232 driver
operation. The first converter uses capacitor C± to dou-
ble the +5V input to +±0V on C3 at the V+ output. The
second converter uses capacitor C2 to invert +±0V to
-±0V on C4 at the V- output.
The MAX239 has a receiver three-state control line, and
the MAX223, MAX225, MAX235, MAX236, MAX240,
and MAX24± have both a receiver three-state control
line and a low-power shutdown control. Table 2 shows
the effects of the shutdown control and receiver three-
state control on the receiver outputs.
The receiver TTL/CMOS outputs are in a high-imped-
ance, three-state mode whenever the three-state enable
line is high (for the MAX225/MAX235/MAX236/MAX239–
MAX24±), and are also high-impedance whenever the
shutdown control line is high.
A small amount of power may be drawn from the +±0V
(V+) and -±0V (V-) outputs to power external circuitry
(see the Typical Operating Characteristics section),
except on the MAX225 and MAX245–MAX247, where
these pins are not available. V+ and V- are not regulated,
so the output voltage drops with increasing load current.
Do not load V+ and V- to a point that violates the mini-
mum ±5V EIA/TIA-232E driver output voltage when
sourcing current from V+ and V- to external circuitry.
When in low-power shutdown mode, the driver outputs
are turned off and their leakage current is less than ±µA
with the driver output pulled to ground. The driver output
leakage remains less than ±µA, even if the transmitter
output is backdriven between 0V and (V
+ 6V). Below

When using the shutdown feature in the MAX222,
MAX225, MAX230, MAX235, MAX236, MAX240,
MAX24±, and MAX245–MAX249, avoid using V+ and V-
to power external circuitry. When these parts are shut
down, V- falls to 0V, and V+ falls to +5V. ꢁor applica-
tions where a +±0V external supply is applied to the V+

RS-232 Receivers
EIA/TIA-232E and V.28 specifications define a voltage
level greater than 3V as a logic 0, so all receivers invert.
Input thresholds are set at 0.8V and 2.4V, so receivers
respond to TTL level inputs as well as EIA/TIA-232E and
V.28 levels.
RS-232 Drivers
The typical driver output voltage swing is ±8V when
loaded with a nominal 5kΩ RS-232 receiver and V

232E and V.28 specification, which calls for ±5V mini-
mum driver output levels under worst-case conditions.
The receiver inputs withstand an input overvoltage up
to ±25V and provide input terminating resistors with
