Detailed Description works and expensive relays required for multiprotocol

The MXL1344A contains six software-selectable multi-
protocol cable termination networks (Figure 3). Each
network is capable of terminating V.11 (RS-422, RS-
530, RS-530A, RS-449, V.36 and X.21) with a 100Ω dif-
ferential 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 termination protocol can be selected by the serial
interface cable wiring or by software control. The
MXL1344A replaces discrete resistor termination net-
termination, saving space and cost.
The MXL1344A terminator is designed to form a com-
plete +5V cable- or software-selectable multiprotocol
DTE/DCE interface port when used with the MXL1543
and MXL1544/MAX3175 transceivers. The MXL1344A
terminator can use the VEE power generated by the
MXL1543 charge pump, simplifying system design. The
MXL1344A, MXL1543, and MXL1544/MAX3175 are pin-
for-pin compatible with the LTC1344A, LTC1543, and
LTC1544, but for proper operation, the entire Maxim

Termination Modes
The termination networks in the MXL1344A can be set
to one of three modes, V.11, V.35, or high impedance
(high-Z). As shown in Figure 4, 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-Z mode, switches S1 and S2 are
both open, presenting a high impedance across termi-
nals A and B suitable for V.28 and V.10 modes.

Using the MXL1344A in a Multiprotocol
Serial Interface
The MXL1344A terminator is designed to form a com-
plete +5V cable- or software-selectable multiprotocol
DCE/DTE interface port when used with the MXL1543
and MXL1544/MAX3175 differential driver/receivers.
The MXL1344A terminator is designed to use the VEE
power generated by the MXL1543’s charge pump and
will meet all data sheet specifications when connected
as illustrated in Figure 5. The mode-selection tables of
all three devices are identical, allowing the M0, M1, M2,
and DCE/DTE pins of each device to be connected to a
RECEIVER single 4-wire control bus. The MXL1543 and MXL1544/
MAX3175 provide internal pullups for the four lines,
forcing them to the logic high state if they are not
grounded. This allows interface-mode configuration by
simply strapping the appropriate pins to ground in the
interconnect cable.
In Figure 5, M1, M2 and DCE/DTE are shorted to the
cable ground, forcing logic LOW on these control lines.
Input M0 is left floating and will be pulled HIGH by
internal pullups on the MXL1543 and MXL1544/

V.11 Termination
A standard V.11 interface is shown in Figure 6. For
high-speed data transmission, the V.11 specification
recommends terminating the cable at the receiver with
a 100Ω (min) resistor. The resistor, although not
required, prevents reflections from corrupting transmit-
ted data.
In Figure 7, the MXL1344A is used to terminate the V.11
receiver on the MXL1543. Internal to the MXL1344A, S1
is closed and S2 is open to present a 104Ω typical dif-
ferential resistance and high-Z common-mode imped-
ance. The MXL1543's internal V.28 termination is
disabled by opening S3.
The V.11 specification allows for signals with common-
mode variations of ±7V and differential signal ampli-
tudes from 2V to 6V with data rates as high as 10Mbps.
The MXL1344A maintains termination impedance
between 100Ω and 110Ω over these conditions.
V.35 Termination
Figure 8 shows a standard V.35 interface. The genera-
tor and the load must both present a 100Ω ±10Ω differ-
ential impedance and a 150Ω ±15Ω common-mode
impedance. The V.35 driver generates a current output
(±11mA typ) that develops an output voltage between
440mV and 660mV across the load termination net-
works.
In Figure 9, the MXL1344A is used to implement the
resistive T-network that is needed to properly terminate

In Figure 10, the MXL1344A and MXL1543 are placed R2A 6 19 R6A
in V.28 mode. Switches S1 and S2 are opened on the R2B 7 18 R5A
MXL1344A to place the network in high-Z mode. Switch

S3 is closed on the MXL1543 to enable the 5kΩ termi-
nating resistor. R3A 9 16 R4A

A Complete X.21 Interface
A complete DTE-to-DCE interface operating in X.21 R3C 11 14 VCC
mode is shown in Figure 11. The MXL1344A terminates GND 12 13 GND
the V.11 clock and data signals. The MXL1543 carries
the clock and data signals, and the MXL1544/MAX3175 24 SSOP
carries the control signals. The control signals generally
do not require external termination.
