_______________________________________________________________________________________ 7
Detailed Description
The MAX3346E is a bidirectional transceiver that converts single-ended or differential logic-level signals to
differential USB signals, and converts differential USB
signals to single-ended or differential logic-level signals. The MAX3346E includes an internal 1.5kΩ pullup
resistor that can be connected to either D+ or D- for
full-speed or low-speed operation (see the Functional
Diagram). The MAX3346E can be energized without
concern about power-supply sequencing. Additionally,
the USB I/O, D+ and D-, are ESD protected to ±15kV.
The MAX3346E can get its USB-side power, VCC,
directly from the USB connection, and can operate with
system-side power, V
L
, down to 1.65V and still meet the
USB physical layer specifications. The MAX3346E supports both full-speed (12Mbps) and low-speed
(1.5Mbps), USB specification 1.1 operation.
The MAX3346E has an enumerate feature that works
when power is on. Driving ENUM low disconnects the
internal 1.5kΩ pullup resistor from both D+ and D-,
reenumerating the USB. This is useful if changes in communication protocol are required while power is applied,
and while the USB cable is connected.
FUNCTION
7B2SUSP Input

Applications Information
Power-Supply Configurations
Normal Operating Mode
Connect VLand VCCto system power supplies (Table
1). Connect VLto a +1.65V to +3.6V supply. Connect
VCCto a +4.0V to +5.5V supply. Alternatively, the
MAX3346E can derive power from a single Li+ battery.
Connect the battery to VCC. VTRM remains above
+3.0V for VCCas low as +3.1V.
Additionally, the MAX3346E can derive power from a
3.3V ±10% voltage regulator. Connect VCCand VTRM
to an external +3.3V voltage regulator.
Disable Mode
Connect VCCto a system power supply and leave V
L
unconnected or connect to GND. D+ and D- enter a tristate mode and VCCconsumes less than 20µA of supply current. D+ and D- withstand external signals up to
+5.5V in disable mode (Table 2).
Sharing Mode
Connect VLto a system power supply and leave V
CC
(or VCCand V
VTRM
) unconnected or connect to GND.
D+ and D- enter a tri-state mode, allowing other circuitry to share the USB D+ and D- lines, and VLconsumes
less than 20µA of supply current. D+ and D- withstand
external signals up to +5.5V in sharing mode (Table 2).
Device Control
OE
OE controls the direction of communication through the
device. With OE low, the MAX3346E transfers data from the
system side to the USB side. With OE high, the MAX3346E
transfers data from the USB side to the system side.
ENUM
The MAX3346E allows software control of USB enumeration. USB specification 1.1 requires a 1.5kΩ pullup resistor
to D+ or D- to set the transmission speed (see the SPEED
section). Enumerating the USB requires removing the 1.5kΩ
resistor from the circuit, and is accomplished with the
MAX3346E by driving ENUM low. With ENUM high, the voltage at SPEED determines how the internal resistor is connected (see the Functional Diagram).
MODE
MODE is a control input that selects whether differential
or single-ended logic signals are recognized by the
system side of the MAX3346E (Table 3).
If MODE is forced high, differential input is selected. With
differential input selected, outputs D+ and D- follow the
differential inputs at VP and VM. If VP and VM are both
forced low, an SE0 condition is forced on the USB.
Drive MODE and VM low for single-ended input mode.
With single-ended input selected, the differential signal on D+ and D- is controlled by VP. If VM is high
when MODE is low, D- and D+ are both low, forcing
an SE0 condition.

_______________________________________________________________________________________ 9
SUSP
SUSP, or suspend, is a control input. When SUSP is
forced high the MAX3346E enters a low-power state. In
this state, the quiescent supply current into VCCis less
than 40µA. In this mode, RCV is forced low, and D+ and
D- are high-impedance inputs (Table 3d).
In suspend mode, data can only be transmitted with
full-speed slope control.
SPEED
SPEED is a control input that selects between low-speed
(1.5Mbps) and full-speed (12Mbps) USB transmission.
Internally, it selects whether the 1.5kΩ pullup resistor is
connected to D+ (full-speed) or D- (low-speed)
(Functional Diagram). Force SPEED high to select full
speed, or force SPEED low to select low speed.
VTRM
VTRM is the 3.3V output of the internal linear voltage
regulator. The regulator is used to power the internal
portions of the USB side of the MAX3346E. The VTRM
regulator’s supply input is V
CC
. Connect a 1.0µF (or
greater) ceramic or plastic capacitor from VTRM to
GND, as close to VTRM as possible. Do not use VTRM
to provide power to external circuitry.
D+ and D-
D+ and D- are the transceiver I/O connections, and are
ESD protected to ±15kV using the Human Body Model,
making the MAX3346E ideal for applications where a
robust transmitter is required.
V
CC
Bypass VCCto GND with a 1µF capacitor. Place the
1µF capacitor as close as possible to the MAX3346E.

External Components
External Resistors
Two external resistors are required for USB connection,
each of them from 23.7Ω ±1% to 27.4Ω ±1%, 1/2W (or
greater). Place one resistor in series between D+ of the
MAX3346E and D+ of the USB connector. Place the
other resistor in series between D- of the MAX3346E
and D- of the USB connector. The Typical Operating
Circuit shows these connections.
External Capacitors
Four external capacitors are recommended for proper
operation. Use a 0.1µF ceramic for decoupling VL, a
1µF ceramic capacitor for decoupling VCC, and a 1.0µF
(or greater) ceramic or plastic filter capacitor on VTRM.
Return all capacitors to GND.
Receiving Data from the USB
Data received from the USB are output to VP/VM and
RCV in either of two ways, differentially or single ended.
To receive data from the USB, force OE high, and force
SUSP low. Differential data arriving at D+/D- appears
as differential logic signals at VP/VM, and as a singleended logic signal at RCV. If both D+ and D- are low,
then VP and VM are low, signaling an SE0 condition on
the bus; RCV retains the last state before SE0 (see
Table 3).
Transmitting Data to the USB
The MAX3346E outputs data to the USB differentially on
D+ and D-. The logic driving the signals may be either
differential or single ended. For sending differential
logic, force MODE high, force OE and SUSP low, and
apply data to VP and VM. If sending single-ended
logic, force MODE, SUSP, OE, and VM low, and apply
data to VP. With VP low, D+ is low and D- high, resulting in a logic 0 state. With VP high, D+ is high and Dlow, resulting in a logic 1 state (see Table 3).
ESD protection
To protect the MAX3346E against ESD, D+ and D- have
extra protection against static electricity to protect the
device up to ±15kV. The ESD structures withstand high
ESD in all states; normal operation, suspend, and powered down. For the 15kV ESD structures to work correctly, a 1µF or greater capacitor must be connected
from VTRM to GND.
ESD protection can be tested in various ways; the D+
and D- input/output pins are characterized for protection
to the following limits:
1) ±15kV using the Human Body Model.
2) ±8kV using the Contact Discharge method specified
in IEC 1000-4-2.
3) ±10kV using the IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap method.
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 6a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure 6b
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 1000-4-2
The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
performance of finished equipment; it does not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The MAX3346E helps
to design equipment that meets Level 2 of IEC 1000-42, without the need for additional ESD-protection components.
The major difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC 1000-4-2 is a higher peak
current in IEC 1000-4-2, because series resistance is
lower in the IEC 1000-4-2 model. Hence, the ESD withstand voltage measured to IEC 1000-4-2 is generally
lower than that measured using the Human Body Model.
Figure 7a shows the IEC 1000-4-2 model.
The Air-Gap Discharge test involves approaching the
device with a charged probe. The Contact Discharge
method connects the probe to the device before the
probe is energized.
Machine Model
The Machine Model for ESD tests all pins using a 200pF
storage capacitor and zero discharge resistance. Its
objective is to emulate the stress caused by contact that
occurs with handling and assembly during manufacturing. Of course, all pins require this protection during
manufacturing, not just USB inputs and outputs.
Therefore, after PC board assembly, the Machine Model
is less relevant to I/O ports.
