In most circumstances, a 0.1µF bypass capacitor is
adequate. In applications that are sensitive to power-
supply noise, decouple V
of the same value as charge-pump capacitor C1. Connect
bypass capacitors as close to the IC as possible.
Transmitter outputs will meet EIA/TIA-562 levels of
±3.7V with supply voltages as low as 2.7V.
Figure 3 shows two transmitter outputs when exiting
shutdown mode. As they become active, the two trans-
mitter outputs are shown going to opposite RS-232 lev-
els (one transmitter input is high, the other is low).
Each transmitter is loaded with 3kΩ in parallel with
2500pF. The transmitter outputs display no ringing or
undesirable transients as they come out of shutdown.
Note that the transmitters are enabled only when the
magnitude of V- exceeds approximately 3V.
The MAX3241 has been specifically designed to power
serial mice while operating from low-voltage power sup-
plies. It has been tested with leading mouse brands from
manufacturers such as Microsoft and Logitech. The
MAX3241 successfully drove all serial mice tested and
met their respective current and voltage requirements.
Figure 4a shows the transmitter output voltages under
increasing load current at 3.0V. Figure 4b shows a typical
mouse connection using the MAX3241.
