MAX563
_______________Detailed Description
The MAX563 consists of three sections: charge-pump
voltage converters, transmitters (drivers), and
receivers. Both the transmitters and the receivers are
inverting.
+3V to ±6V, Dual Charge-Pump Voltage
Converter
Two charge pumps either invert or double the incoming
VCC to generate the voltages required by the transmit-
ters. The first charge pump uses capacitor C1 to
double VCC; the resulting voltage is stored on the V+
reservoir capacitor. The second charge pump uses
capacitor C2 to invert V+; this negative voltage is
stored on the V- capacitor.
When
SHDN is low, the charge pumps are turned off,
V+ is pulled down to VCC by a 1k
resistor, and V-
rises to GND.
It is possible to draw some power from the V+ and V-
pins for external use. However, doing so diminishes the
charge-pump output voltages and reduces noise mar-
gins, so it is not recommended.
EIA/TIA-562 Transmitters
The MAX563’s drivers are inverting level translators that
convert +3V logic inputs to EIA/TIA-562 voltage levels.
With a VCC supply of only 3.0V, the driver outputs
deliver the EIA/TIA-562 ±3.7V minimum specification
under worst-case conditions—when both transmitters
are loaded with 3k
receivers (either EIA/TIA-232 or
EIA/TIA-562).
The transmitters are fast: the guaranteed data rate with
standard loads is 116kbps, which is the highest rate
commonly used by PC-to-PC communication software,
such as LapLink. The highest practical data rate may
be reduced if the other communicating device (RS-562
or RS-232) is not as fast, or if the cables present an
excessive capacitive load (>1000pF). Each transmitter
is designed to drive a single receiver; transmitters can
be paralleled to drive multiple receivers.
When
SHDN is low, the driver outputs are turned off.
Their output leakage currents are less than 10A when
pulled to GND or when driven to ±15V. This enables
two transmitters to be connected to the same line, pro-
vided that one of them is always disabled by taking
SHDN low.
