High Data Rates
The MAX3222/MAX3232/MAX3241 maintain the RS-232
±5.0V minimum transmitter output voltage even at high
data rates. Figure 5 shows a transmitter loopback test
circuit. Figure 6 shows a loopback test result at
120kbps, and Figure 7 shows the same test at 235kbps.
For Figure 6, all transmitters were driven simultaneously
at 120kbps into RS-232 loads in parallel with 1000pF.
For Figure 7, a single transmitter was driven at 235kbps,
and all transmitters were loaded with an RS-232 receiver
in parallel with 1000pF.
The MAX3237 maintains the RS-232 ±5.0V minimum
transmitter output voltage at data rates up to 1Mbps.
Figure 8 shows a loopback test result at 1Mbps with
MBAUD = V
CC
. For Figure 8, all transmitters were
loaded with an RS-232 receiver in parallel with 250pF.
