Detailed Description
The ISL83385E 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.
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 V
CC
3.3V, R
L
= 3k, and C
L
= 250pF, one
transmitter easily operates at 900kbps.
Transmitter inputs float if left unconnected (there are no pull-
up resistors), and may cause I
CC
increases. Connect
unused inputs to GND for the best performance.

Charge-Pump
Intersil’s new ISL83385E 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 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.
Receivers
The ISL83385E contains standard inverting receivers that
convert RS-232 signals to CMOS output levels and accept
inputs up to
30V
while presenting the required 3k to 7k
input impedance (see Figure 1) even if the power is off
(V
CC
= 0V). The receivers’ Schmitt trigger input stage uses
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
