Invalid Signal Detector Output, active low. A logic high indicates that a valid RS-232
level is present on a receiver.

T1OUT
RS-232 Transmitter Outputs
FORCEON
Force-On Input, active high. Drive high to override AutoShutdown Plus, keeping
transmitters and receivers active (FORCEOFF must be high) (Table 1).

RS-232 Receiver Outputs
C1+
Positive terminal of the internal voltage-doubling charge-pump capacitor. Leave
unconnected or connect to an external 0.1µF capacitor. See Charge Pump Section.
V
CC
Supply Voltage (MAX3233E = +3.3V, MAX3235E = +5.0V)
FORCEOFF
Force-Off Input, active low. Drive low to shut down transmitters, receivers, and charge
pump. This overrides AutoShutdown Plus and FORCEON (Table 1).
V+ +5.5V generated by the charge pump. Do not connect.
C1-
Negative terminal of the internal voltage-doubling charge-pump capacitor. Leave
unconnected or connect to an external 0.1µF capacitor. See Charge Pump Section.
C2+ Positive terminal of the internal inverting charge-pump capacitor. Do not connect.
C2- Negative terminal of the internal inverting charge-pump capacitor. Do not connect.
V- -5.5V generated by the charge pump. Do not connect.
