General Description
The MXL1543 is a three-driver/three-receiver multipro-
tocol transceiver that operates from a +5V single sup-
ply. The MXL1543, along with the MXL1544/MAX3175
and the MXL1344A, form a complete software-selec-
table data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communi-
cation equipment (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 MXL1543 trans-
ceivers carry the high-speed clock and data signals
while the MXL1544/MAX3175 carry the control signals.
The MXL1543 can be terminated by the MXL1344A
software-selectable resistor termination network or by
discrete termination networks.
An internal charge pump and a proprietary low-dropout
transmitter output stage allow V.11- , V.28- , and V.35-
compliant operation from a +5V single supply. A no-
cable mode is entered when all mode pins (M0, M1,
and M2) are pulled high or left unconnected. In no-
cable mode, supply current decreases to 0.5A and all
transmitter and receiver outputs are disabled (high
impedance). Short-circuit current limiting and thermal
shutdown circuitry protect the drivers against excessive
power dissipation.

Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
