DTE/DCE Mode Applications
The MAX13171E/MAX13173E can be hardwired for
either DTE or DCE mode in one of two ways: a dedicat-
ed DTE or DCE port with an appropriate gender con-
nector, or a port with a connector that can be configured
for DTE or DCE operation by rerouting the signals to the
MAX13171E and MAX13173E, using a dedicated DTE
cable or dedicated DCE cable. The interface mode is
selected by logic outputs from the controller or from
jumpers to either V
L
or GND on the mode select inputs.
A dedicated DCE port using a DB-25 female connector
is shown in Figure 28. Figure 29 illustrates a dedicated
DTE port using a DB-25 male connector.
Figure 27 shows an application circuit with one com-
mon DB-25 connector that can be configured for either
DTE or DCE mode. The configuration requires separate
cables for proper signal routing in DTE or DCE opera-
tion. Figure 27 illustrates a DCE or DTE controller-selec-
table interface. The DCE/DTE and INVERT inputs switch
the port’s mode of operation (Tables 1, 2).
