The READY output (MAX3224–MAX3227) is low when
the charge pumps are disabled in shutdown mode. The
READY signal asserts high when V- goes below -4V.

The MAX3224–MAX3227/MAX3244/MAX3245’s internal
p owe r s up p ly c ons is ts of a re g ula te d d ua l c ha rg e
pump that provides output voltages of +5.5V (doubling
charge pump) and -5.5V (inverting charge pump), over
the +3.0V to +5.5V range. The charge pump operates
in discontinuous mode: if the output voltages are less
than 5.5V, the charge pump is enabled; if the output
voltages exceed 5.5V, the charge-pump is disabled.
Each charge pump requires a flying capacitor (C1, C2)
and a reservoir capacitor (C3, C4) to generate the V+
and V- supplies.
RS -2 3 2 Tra n s m it t e rs
The tra ns mitte rs a re inve rting le ve l tra ns la tors tha t
convert CMOS-logic levels to 5.0V EIA/TIA-232 levels.
The MAX3224/MAX3226/MAX3244 g ua ra nte e a
250kbps data rate (1Mbps for the MAX3225/MAX3227/
MAX3245) with worst-case loads of 3kΩ in parallel with
1000pF, providing compatibility with PC-to-PC com-
munication software (such as LapLink™). Transmitters
can be paralleled to drive multiple receivers. Figure 1
shows a complete system connection.
