General Description
The MAX13174E contains six pin-selectable, multiprotocol cable termination networks. Each network is capable of terminating V.11 (RS-422, RS-530, RS-530A,
RS-449, V.36, and X.21) with a 100Ω differential load,
V.35 with a T-network load, or V.28 (RS-232) and V.10
(RS-423) with an open-circuit load for use with transceivers having on-chip termination. The termination protocol can be selected by the serial interface cable
wiring or by pin control. The MAX13174E replaces discrete resistor termination networks and expensive
relays required for multiprotocol termination, saving
space and cost.
The MAX13174E terminator is ideal to form a complete
+5V cable- or pin-selectable multiprotocol DCE/DTE
interface port when used with the MAX13170E and
MAX13172E transceiver ICs. The MAX13174E terminator can use the VEEpower generated by the
MAX13170E charge pump, simplifying system design.
The MAX13174E/MAX13170E/MAX13172E are pinfor-pin compatible with the MXL1344A/MXL1543/
MXL1544/MAX3175.
The MAX13174E is available in a 24-pin SSOP package
and is specified for the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range.

MAX13174E
+5V Multiprotocol, Pin-Selectable
Cable Terminator
_______________________________________________________________________________________ 5
Detailed Description
The MAX13174E contains six pin-selectable multiprotocol cable termination networks (Figure 3). Each network
is capable of terminating V.11 (RS-422, RS-530,
RS-530A, RS-449, V.36, and X.21) with a 100Ω differen-
tial load, V.35 with a T-network load, or V.28 (RS-232)
and V.10 (RS-423) with an open-circuit load for use with
transceivers that have on-chip termination. The termination protocol can be selected by the serial interface
cable wiring or by pin control. The MAX13174E
replaces discrete resistor termination networks and
expensive relays required for multiprotocol termination,
saving space and cost.
The MAX13174E terminator is designed to form a complete +5V cable- or pin-selectable multiprotocol DCE/DTE
interface port when used with the MAX13170E and
MAX13172E transceivers. The MAX13174E terminator
can use the VEEpower generated by the MAX13170E
charge pump, simplifying system design. The
MAX13174E/MAX13170E/MAX13172E are functionally
compatible with the MXL1344A/MXL1543/MXL1544/
MAX3175.
Termination Modes
The termination networks in the MAX13174E can be set
to one of three modes: V.11, V.35, or high impedance.
As shown in Figure 4, in V.11 mode, switch S1 is closed
and switch S2 is open, presenting 104Ω across terminals A and B. In V.35 mode, switches S1 and S2 are
both closed, presenting a T-network with 104Ω differen-
tial impedance and 153Ω common-mode impedance.
In high-impedance mode, switches S1 and S2 are both
open, presenting a high impedance across terminals A
and B suitable for V.28 and V.10 modes.

6 _______________________________________________________________________________________
The state of the MAX13174E’s mode-select pins—M0,
M1, M2, and DCE/DTE—determines the mode of each of
the six termination networks. Table 1 shows a cross-reference of termination mode and select pin state for each of
the six termination networks within the MAX13174E.
No-Cable Mode
The MAX13174E enters no-cable mode when the modeselect inputs—M0, M1, and M2—are connected high. In
no-cable mode, all six termination networks are placed
in V.11 mode, with S1 closed and S2 open (Figure 4).
Applications Information
Older multiprotocol interface termination circuits have
been constructed using expensive relays with discrete
resistors, custom cables with built-in termination, or
complex circuit-board configurations to route signals to
the correct termination. The MAX13174E provides a
simple solution to this termination problem. All required
termination configurations are easily cable- or pinselectable using the four mode-control input pins (M0,
M1, M2, and DCE/DTE).
Using the MAX13174E in a Multiprotocol
Serial Interface
The MAX13174E terminator is designed to form a complete +5V cable- or pin-selectable multiprotocol
DCE/DTE interface port when used with the
MAX13170E/MAX13172E differential drivers/receivers.
The MAX13174E terminator is designed to use the V
EE
power generated by the MAX13171E’s charge pump
and meets all data sheet specifications when connected as illustrated in Figure 5. The mode-selection tables
of all three devices are identical, allowing the M0, M1,
M2, and DCE/DTE pins of each device to be connected
to a single 4-wire control bus. The MAX13170E and
MAX13172E provide internal pullups for the four lines,

forcing them to the logic-high state if they are not
grounded. This allows interface-mode configuration by
simply strapping the appropriate pins to ground in the
interconnect cable.
V.11 Termination
A standard V.11 interface is shown in Figure 6. For highspeed data transmission, the V.11 specification recommends terminating the cable at the receiver with a 100Ω
(min) resistor. The resistor, although not required, prevents reflections from corrupting transmitted data.
Note: Z indicates high impedance, 1 = high, and 0 = low. Z, V.11, and V.35 refer to termination modes (Figure 4).

V.11 receiver on the MAX13170E. Internal to the
MAX13174E, S1 is closed and S2 is open to present a
104Ω typical differential resistance and high-Z common-mode impedance. The MAX13170E's internal V.28
termination is disabled by opening S3.
The V.11 specification allows for signals with commonmode variations of ±7V and differential signal amplitudes from 2V to 6V. The MAX13174E maintains
termination impedance between 100Ω and 110Ω over
these conditions.
V.35 Termination
Figure 8 shows a standard V.35 interface. The generator
and the load must both present a 100Ω ±10Ω differential
impedance and a 150Ω ±15Ω common-mode impedance. The V.35 driver generates a current output
(±11mA, typ) that develops an output voltage between
440mV and 660mV across the load termination networks.
In Figure 9, the MAX13174E is used to implement the
resistive T-network that is needed to properly terminate
the V.35 receiver. Internal to the MAX13174E, S1 and S2
are closed to connect the T-network resistors to the circuit.
The V.35 specification allows for ±4V of ground difference
between the V.35 generator and V.35 load. The
MAX13174E maintains correct termination impedance
over these conditions.
V.35 EMI reduction
For applications where EMI reduction is especially
important, the MAX13174E termination networks provide
a pin for shunting common-mode driver currents to
GND. Mismatches between the driver A and B output
propagation delays can create a common-mode disturbance on the cable. This common-mode energy can be
shunted to GND by placing a 100pF capacitor to GND
from the center tap of the T-network termination (R1C,
R2C, and R3C as shown in Figure 5).
V.28 Termination
Most industry-standard V.28 receivers (including the
MAX13170E and MAX13172E) do not require external
termination because the receiver includes an internal
5kΩ termination resistor. When the MAX13174E is

placed in V.28 mode, all six of the termination networks
are placed in a high-Z mode. In high-Z mode, the
MAX13174E termination networks do not interfere with
the MAX13170E's internal 5kΩ termination.
In Figure 10, the MAX13174E and MAX13170E are
placed in V.28 mode. Switches S1 and S2 are opened
on the MAX13174E to place the network in high-Z
mode. Switch S3 is closed on the MAX13170E to
enable the 5kΩ terminating resistor.
A Complete X.21 Interface
A complete DTE-to-DCE interface operating in X.21
mode is shown in Figure 11. The MAX13174E terminates the V.11 clock and data signals. The MAX13170E
carries the clock and data signals, and the MAX13172E
carries the control signals. The control signals generally
do not require external termination.
ESD Protection
ESD-protection structures are incorporated on all pins
to protect against electrostatic discharges encountered
during handling and assembly. The differential resistors

have extra protection against static electricity. Maxim’s
engineers have developed state-of-the-art structures to
protect these pins against an ESD of ±15kV (Human
Body Model) without damage. The ESD structures withstand high ESD in all states: normal operation, shutdown, and powered down. After an ESD event, the
MAX13174E keeps working without latchup or damage.
ESD protection can be tested in various ways. The
Electrical Characteristics
table shows the limits, and
each device is characterized for protection to the following methods:
• Human Body Model
• Contact Method specified in IEC 61000-4-2
• Air Gap Discharge Method specified in IEC 61000-4-2
ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions.
Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents
test setup, test methodology, and test results.
Human Body Model
Figure 12a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure
12b 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 test device through a
1.5kΩ resistor.
IEC 61000-4-2
The IEC 61000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
the performance of finished equipment. However, it
does not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The
MAX13174E helps equipment designs to meet IEC
61000-4-2 without the need for additional ESD-protection components.
The major difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC 61000-4-2 is higher peak
current in IEC 61000-4-2 because series resistance is
lower in the IEC 61000-4-2 model. Figure 12c shows
the IEC 61000-4-2 model, and Figure 12d shows the
current waveform for the IEC 61000-4-2 ESD Contact
Discharge test.
Compliance Testing
A European Standard EN 45001 test report for the
MAX13170E, MAX13172E, and MAX13174E chipset will
be available from Maxim upon completion of testing.
Contact Maxim Quality Assurance for a copy of the report.
