The MAX13171E along with the MAX13173E/
MAX13175E, form a complete pin-selectable data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communication equipment
(DCE) interface port that support the V.28 (RS-232),
V.10/V.11 (RS-449/V.36, RS-530, RS-530A, X.21), and
V.35 protocols. The MAX13171E transceivers carry the
high-speed clock and data signals, while the MAX13173E
transceivers carry the control signals. The MAX13171E
can be terminated by the MAX13175E pin-selectable
resistor termination network. The MAX13175E contains six
pin-selectable, multiprotocol cable termination networks.
The MAX13171E/MAX13173E have an internal charge
pump and low-dropout transmitter output stages that
allow V.10-, V.11-, V.28-, and V.35-compliant operation
from a single supply. The MAX13171E/MAX13173E feature a no-cable mode that reduces supply current and
disables all transmitter and receiver outputs (high impedance). Short-circuit current limiting and thermal shutdown
circuitry protects the receiver and transmitter outputs
against excessive power dissipation. The MAX13171E/
MAX13173E have extended ESD protection for all the
transmitter outputs and receivers inputs.
The MAX13171E/MAX13173E/MAX13175E operate over
the +3.135V to +5.5V supply range and are available in
5mm x 7mm, 38-pin TQFN packages. These devices operate over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.

MAX13171E/MAX13173E/MAX13175E
Multiprotocol, Pin-Selectable
Data Interface Chipset
The MAX13171E/MAX13173E/MAX13175E form a complete pin-selectable DTE or DCE interface port that
supports the V.28 (RS-232), V.10/V.11 (RS-449/V.36,
RS-530, RS-530A, X.21), and V.35 protocols. The
MAX13171E transceivers carry the high-speed clock
and data signals, while the MAX13173E transceivers
carry serial-interface control signaling. The MAX13171E
can be terminated by the MAX13175E pin-selectable
resistor termination network, or by a discrete termination network. The MAX13171E/MAX13173E feature a
low supply current, no-cable mode, true fail-safe operation, and thermal-shutdown circuitry. Thermal shutdown
protects the drivers against excessive power dissipation. When activated, the thermal-shutdown circuitry
places the driver and receiver outputs into a highimpedance state.
The MAX13171E is a three-driver/three-receiver, multiprotocol transceiver that operates from a single
+3.135V to +5.5V supply. The MAX13173E is a five-driver/five-receiver multiprotocol transceiver that operates
from a single +3.135V to +5.5V supply. The
MAX13175E contains six pin-selectable multiprotocol
cable termination networks (Figure 14). 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 terminations
and protocols are pin selectable. The MAX13175E
replaces discrete resistor termination networks and
expensive relays required for multiprotocol termination,
saving space and cost.
Dual Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The MAX13171E/MAX13173E have internal-regulated
dual charge pumps that provide positive and negative
output voltages from a single supply. The charge pump
operates in discontinuous mode. If the output voltage is
less than the regulated voltage, the charge pump is
enabled. If the output voltage exceeds the regulated
voltage, the charge pump is disabled. Each charge
pump requires flying capacitors (C1, C2), and reservoir
capacitors (C3, C5), to generate the VDDand VEEsupplies. Figure 15 shows the charge-pump connections.
The MAX13171E/MAX13173E guarantee a logic-high
receiver output when the receiver inputs are shorted, or
when they are connected to a terminated transmission
line with all drivers disabled by setting the receiver
threshold between -50mV and -200mV in the V.11 and
V.35 modes. If the differential receiver input voltage (B A) is ≥ -50mV, R_OUT is logic-high. If (B - A) is ≤ -200mV,
R_OUT is logic-low. In the case of a terminated bus with
all transmitters disabled, the receiver’s differential input
voltage is pulled to zero by the termination. This results in
a logic-high with a 50mV minimum noise margin.
The V.10 receiver threshold is set between 50mV and
250mV. If the V.10 receiver input voltage is less than or
equal to 50mV, R_OUT is logic-high. The V.28 receiver
threshold is set between 0.8V and 2.0V. If the receiver
input voltage is less than or equal to 0.8V, R_OUT is
logic-high. In the case of a terminated bus with transmitters disabled, the receiver’s input voltage is pulled to
GND by the termination.
Mode Selection
The mode-select inputs M0, M1, and M2 determine
which interface protocol is selected (Table 1 for the
MAX13171E, Table 2 for the MAX13173E). The state of
the DCE/DTE input determines whether the transceivers
are configured as a DTE serial port or a DCE serial port.
The INVERT input on the MAX13173E changes the
DCE/DTE functionality regarding T4/T5 and R4/R5 only.
M0, M1, M2, INVERT, and DCE/DTE are internally
pulled up to V
L
to ensure logic-high if left unconnected.
If the M0, M1, and M2 mode inputs are all unconnected, the MAX13171E/MAX13173E enter no-cable mode.
The MAX13175E mode select inputs and DCE/DTE
input do not have an internal pullup to V
L
. They are
pulled logic-high if their mode-select inputs are tied to
the MAX13171E/MAX13173E’s mode select inputs.
Termination Modes
The termination networks in the MAX13175E can be set
to one of three modes, V.11, V.35, or high impedance.

As shown in Figure 16, 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 differential 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.
The state of the MAX13175E’s mode-select inputs, M0,
M1, M2, and DCE/DTE determines the mode of each of
the six termination networks. Table 3 shows a cross-reference of termination mode and select input state for

The MAX13171E/MAX13173E enter no-cable mode
when the mode-select inputs are left unconnected or
connected high (M0 = M1 = M2 = 1). The receiver outputs enter a high-impedance state in no-cable mode,
allowing these output lines to be shared with other
receiver outputs (the receiver outputs have an internal
pullup resistor to pull the outputs high if not driven).
Also, in no-cable mode, the transmitter outputs enter a
high-impedance state, so these output lines can be
shared with other devices.
The MAX13175E enters no-cable mode when the mode
select 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.
VLLogic Supply
The MAX13171E/MAX13173E/MAX13175E include a V
L
logic supply that allows user-defined interface logicvoltage levels referenced to V
L
. VLcan go down to
+1.62V and up to V
CC
. All logic inputs and outputs are
referred to V
L
.
Data Rate
The MAX13171E/MAX13173E/MAX13175E support a
maximum data rate of 40Mbps in RS-449/V.36, RS-530,
RS-530A, X.21, V.35 if only one of the MAX13171E
high-speed transceivers is operated at the maximum
data rate. If two high-speed transceivers operate simultaneously, the maximum data rate is 20Mbps.
Applications Information
Capacitor Selection
The capacitors used for the charge pumps, as well as
for supply bypassing, must have a low equivalent
series resistance (ESR), low inductance (ESL), and low
temperature coefficient. Multilayer ceramic capacitors
with an X7R dielectric offer the best combination of performance, size, and cost. The flying capacitors (C1, C2)
should have a value of 1µF, while the bypass capacitor
(C4) and reservoir capacitors (C3, C5) should have a
minimum value of 4.7µF (Figure 15). To reduce the ripple present on the transmitter outputs, capacitors C3,
C4, and C5 can be increased. The values of C1 and C2
should not be increased.
Cable Mode-Select Application
A cable-selectable multiprotocol interface is shown in
Figure 17. The mode control lines M0, M1, and DCE/DTE
are wired to the DB-25 connector. To select the serial
interface mode, the appropriate combination of M0, M1,
and DCE/DTE are grounded within the cable wiring. The
control lines that are not grounded are pulled high by the
internal pullups on the MAX13171E/MAX13173E. The
serial interface protocol of the MAX13171E/
MAX13173E/MAX13175E is selected based on the cable
that is connected to the DB-25 interface.
V.10 (RS-423) Interface
(MAX13173E Only)
The V.10 interface (Figure 18) is an unbalanced singleended interface capable of driving a 450Ω load. The
V.10 driver generates a minimum VOvoltage of ±4V
across A’ and C’ when unloaded, and a minimum voltage of 0.9 x VOwhen loaded with 450Ω. The V.10
receiver has a single-ended input and does not reject
common-mode differences between C and C’. The V.10
receiver-input trip threshold is defined between +50mV
and +250mV with input impedance characteristic
shown in Figure 19.
The MAX13173E V.10 mode receiver has a threshold
between +50mV and +250mV. To ensure that the
receiver has proper fail-safe operation, see the
Fail-
Safe
section. To aid in rejecting system noise, the
MAX13173E V.10 receiver has a typical hysteresis of
25mV. Switch S3 in Figures 20a and 20b is open in
V.10 mode to disable the V.28 5kΩ termination at the
receiver input. Switch S4 is closed and switch S5 is
open to internally ground the receiver B input.
As shown in Figure 21, the V.11 protocol is a fully balanced differential interface. The V.11 driver generates a
minimum of ±2V between nodes A and B when a 100Ω
(min) resistance is present at the load. The V.11 receiver
is sensitive to differential signals of ±200mV at receiver
inputs A’ and B’. The V.11 receiver input must comply
with the impedance curve of Figure 22 and reject common-mode signals developed across the cable (referenced from C to C’ in Figure 21) of up to ±7V.
The MAX13171E/MAX13173E V.11 mode receivers
have a differential threshold between -50mV and
-200mV to ensure that the receiver has fail-safe operation (see the
Fail-Safe
section.) To aid in rejecting sys-
tem noise, the MAX13171E/MAX13173E V.11 receivers
have a typical hysteresis of 15mV. Switch S3 in Figure
23 is open in V.11 mode to disable the V.28 5kΩ termi-
nation at the inverting receiver input. Because the control signals are slow (60kbps), 100Ω termination
resistance is generally not required for the MAX13173E.
For high-speed data transmission, the V.11 specification recommends terminating the cable at the receiver
with a 100Ω resistor. This resistor, although not
required, prevents reflections from corrupting transmitted data. In Figure 23, the MAX13175E is used to terminate the V.11 receiver. Internal to the MAX13175E, S1 is
closed and S2 is open to present a 100Ω minimum differential resistance. The MAX13171E’s internal V.28 termination is disabled by opening S3.

The V.28 interface is an unbalanced single-ended interface (Figure 18). The V.28 driver generates a minimum
of ±5V across the 3kΩ load impedance between A’ and
C’. The V.28 receiver has a single-ended input.
The MAX13171E/MAX13173E V.28 mode receivers have
a threshold between +0.8V and +2.0V. To aid in rejecting system noise, the MAX13171E/MAX13173E V.28
receivers have a typical hysteresis of 250mV. Switch S3
in Figures 24a and 24b is closed in V.28 mode to enable
the 5kΩ V.28 termination at the receiver inputs.
V.35 Interface
Figure 25 shows a fully-balanced, differential standard
V.35 interface. The generator and the load must both
present a 100Ω ±10Ω differential impedance and a
150Ω ±15Ω common-mode impedance as shown by
the resistive T-networks in Figure 26. The V.35 driver
generates a current output (±11mA, typ) that develops
an output voltage of ±550mV across the generator and
load termination networks. The V.35 receiver is sensitive to ±200mV differential signals at receiver inputs A’
and B’. The V.35 receiver rejects common-mode signals developed across the cable (referenced from C to
C’) of up to ±4V, allowing for error-free reception in
noisy environments.
In Figure 26, the MAX13175E is used to implement the
resistive T-network that is needed to properly terminate
the V.35 driver and receiver. Internal to the
MAX13175E, S1 and S2 are closed to connect the Tnetwork resistors to the circuit. The V.28 termination
resistor (internal to the MAX13171E) is disabled by
opening S3 to avoid interference with the T-network
impedance.
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 this condition.

The MAX13171E/MAX13173E can be hardwired for
either DTE or DCE mode in one of two ways: a dedicated DTE or DCE port with an appropriate gender connector, or a port with a connector that can be configured
for DTE or DCE operation by rerouting the signals to the
MAX13171E and MAX13173E, using a dedicated DTE
cable or dedicated DCE cable. The interface mode is
selected by logic outputs from the controller or from
jumpers to either VLor GND on the mode select inputs.
A dedicated DCE port using a DB-25 female connector
is shown in Figure 28. Figure 29 illustrates a dedicated
DTE port using a DB-25 male connector.
Figure 27 shows an application circuit with one common DB-25 connector that can be configured for either
DTE or DCE mode. The configuration requires separate
cables for proper signal routing in DTE or DCE operation. Figure 27 illustrates a DCE or DTE controller-selectable interface. The DCE/DTE and INVERT inputs switch
the port’s mode of operation (Tables 1, 2).

loopback (LL). The MAX13175E is used to terminate the
clock and data signals to support the V.11 protocol for
cable termination. The control signals do not need
external termination.
ESD Protection
ESD-protection structures are incorporated on all pins to
protect against electrostatic discharges encountered
during handling and assembly. The driver outputs and
receiver inputs of the MAX13171E/MAX13173E have
extra protection against static electricity. Maxim’s engineers have developed state-of-the-art structures to protect these pins against ESD of ±15kV without damage.
The ESD structures withstand high ESD in all states: normal operation, shutdown, and powered down. After an
ESD event, the MAX13171E/MAX13173E/MAX13175E
keep working without latchup or damage. ESD protection can be tested in various ways. The
Electrical
Characteristics
table shows the various limits for each
device and they are 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 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 31a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure
31b 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
performance of finished equipment. However, it does
not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The
MAX13171E/MAX13173E/MAX13175E help 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 31c shows
the IEC 61000-4-2 model, and Figure 31d shows the
current waveform for the IEC 61000-4-2 ESD Contact
Discharge test.
