General Description
The MAX13170E is a three-driver/three-receiver multipro-
tocol transceiver that operates from a +5V single supply.
The MAX13170E, along with the MAX13172E and the
MAX13174E, form a complete software-selectable data
terminal equipment (DTE) or data communication equip-
ment (DCE) interface port that supports the V.28 (RS-232),
V.10/V.11 (RS-449/V.36, EIA-530, EIA-530A, X.21), and
V.35 protocols. The MAX13170E transceivers carry the
high-speed clock and data signals, while the MAX13172E
carry the control signals. The MAX13170E can be termi-
nated by the MAX13174E software-selectable resistor
termination network or by discrete termination networks.
The MAX13170E has an internal charge pump and a
proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage that
allows V.11-, V.28-, and V.35-compliant operation from
a +5V single supply. The MAX13170E features a no-
cable mode that reduces supply current to 0.5µA, and
disables all (high-impedance) transmitter and receiver
outputs. Short-circuit current limiting and thermal shut-
down circuitry protect the receiver and transmitter out-
puts against excessive power dissipation. The
MAX13170E has extended ESD protection for all the
transmitter outputs and receivers inputs.
The MAX13170E is available in a 5.3mm x 10.2mm,
28-pin SSOP package and operates over the 0°C to
+70°C commercial temperature range.
