Detailed Description
The ISL4260E operates from a single +3V to +5.5V supply,
guarantees a 250kbps minimum data rate, requires only four
small external 0.1F capacitors, features low power
consumption, and meets all ElA RS-232C and V.28
specifications. The circuit is divided into three sections: The
charge pump, the transmitters, and the receivers.
pumps operate discontinuously (i.e., they turn off as soon as
the V+ and V- supplies are pumped up to the nominal values),
resulting in significant power savings.
Transmitters
The transmitters are proprietary, low dropout, inverting drivers
that translate TTL/CMOS inputs to EIA/TIA-232 output levels.
Coupled with the on-chip
5.5V
supplies, these transmitters
deliver true RS-232 levels over a wide range of single supply
system voltages.
All transmitter outputs disable and assume a high impedance
state when the device enters the powerdown mode (see Table
2). These outputs may be driven to
12V
when disabled.
All devices guarantee a 250kbps data rate for full load
conditions (3k and 1000pF), V
CC
3.0V, with one transmitter
operating at full speed. Under more typical conditions of
Charge-Pump
Intersil’s new ISL4260E utilizes regulated on-chip dual charge
pumps as voltage doublers, and voltage inverters to generate
5.5V
transmitter supplies from a V
CC
supply as low as 3.0V.
This allows these devices to maintain RS-232 compliant output
levels over the
10%
tolerance range of 3.3V powered
systems. The efficient on-chip power supplies require only four
small, external 0.1F capacitors for the voltage doubler and
inverter functions over the full V
CC
range; other capacitor
combinations can be used as shown in Table 3. The charge
