RS-232 Transceivers with AutoShutdown
Figure 1. Interface Under Control of PMU
The MAX3221/MAX3223/MAX3243’s receivers convert
RS-232 signals to CMOS-logic output levels. All
receivers have one inverting three-state output. In shut-
down (FORCEOFF = low) or in AutoShutdown, the
MAX3221/MAX3223’s receivers are active (Table 1).
Driving EN high places the receiver(s) in a high-imped-
ance state. The MAX3243’s receivers are high imped-
ance when the part is shut down.
The MAX3243 has an always-active complementary
output (R2OUTB). R2OUTB is an extra output that mon-
itors receiver activity while the other receivers are high
impedance. This allows Ring Indicator to be monitored
without forward biasing other devices connected to the
receiver outputs. This is ideal for systems where V
set to 0V in shutdown to accommodate peripherals,
such as UARTs (Figure 2).

OLDER RS-232: POWERED-DOWN UART DRAWS CURRENT FROM ACTIVE
RECEIVER OUTPUT IN SHUTDOWN.
NEW MAX3243: IN SHUTDOWN, R2OUTB IS USED TO MONITOR EXTERNAL
DEVICES AND R2OUT IS THREE STATED, ELIMINATING A CURRENT PATH
THROUGH THE UART'S PROTECTION DIODE.
