slew–rate–limited output, 300–Ω power–off source impedance, and output typ-
ically switching to within 25% of the supply rails. The receivers can handle up
to ±25 V while presenting 3 to 7 kΩ impedance. Hysteresis in the receivers
aids reception of noisy signals. By combining both drivers and receivers in a
single CMOS chip, the ML145406 provides efficient, low–power solutions for

tect the inputs against damage due to high static
voltages or electric fields; however, it is advised
that normal precautions be taken to avoid applica-
tion of any voltage higher than maximum rated
voltages to this high impedance circuit. For proper
operation, it is recommended that the voltages at
the DI and DO pins be constrained to the range

Receive Data Input (Pins 2, 4, 6)
These are the EIA 232–E receive signal inputs whose volt-
ages can range from (VDD + 15 V) to (VSS – 15 V). A volt-
age between +3 and (VDD + 15 V) is decoded as a space and
causes the corresponding DO pin to swing to ground (0V); a
voltage between – 3 and (VDD – 15 V) is decoded as a mark
and causes the DO pin to swing up to VCC. The actual turn–o
input switch point is typically biased at 1.8 V above ground,
and includes 800mV of hysteresis for noise rejection. The
nominal input impedance is 5 kΩ. An open or grounded input
pin is interpreted as a mark, forcing the DO pin to VCC.
DO1, DO2, DO3
Data Output (Pins 11, 13, 15)
These are the receiver digital output pins, which swing from
VCC to GND. A space on the Rx pin causes DO to produce a
logic 0; a mark produces a logic 1. Each output pin is capable
of driving one LSTTL input load.

Data Input (Pins 10, 12,14)
These are the high–impedance digital input pins to the driv-

switchpoint at 1.4 V above GND. However, 5V CMOS compat
ibility is maintained as well. Input voltage levels on these pins
must be between VCC and GND.

Transmit Data Output(Pins 3, 5, 7)
These are the EIA 232–E transmit signal output pins, which

corresponding Tx output to swing toward VSS. A logic 0 caus-
es the output to swing toward VDD (the output voltages will b
slightly less than VDD or VSS depending upon the output
load). Output slew rates are limited to a maximum of 30 V per
µs. When the ML145406 is off (VDD = VSS = VCC= GND),
the minimum output impedance is 300
Ω.

ML145406
LANSDALE Semiconductor, Inc.
Legacy Applications Information
The ML145406 has been designed to meet the electrical-
specifications of standards EIA 232–E and CCITT V.28. EIA
232–E defines the electrical and physical interface between
Data Communication Equipment (DCE) and DataTerminal
Equipment (DTE). A DCE is connected to a DTE using a cable
that typically carries up to 25 leads. These leads, referred to as
interchange circuits, allow the transfer of timing, data, control,
and test signals. Electrically this transfer requires level shifting
between the TTL/CMOS logic levels of the computer or
modem and the high voltage levels of EIA 232–E, which can
range from ±3 to ±25 V The ML145406 provides the neces-
.
sary level shifting as well as meeting other aspects of the EIA
232–E specification.
DRIVERS
As defined by the specification, an EIA 232–E driver pres-
ents a voltage of between ±5 to ±15 V into a load of between 3
to 7 kΩ. A logic 1 at the driver input results in a voltage of
between –5 to – 15 V. A logic 0 results in a voltage between +
5 to + 15V. When operating VDD and VSS at ±7 to ±12 V, the
ML145406 meets this requirement. When operating at ±5 V,
the ML145406 drivers produce less than ±5 V at the output
(when terminated), which does not meet EIA 232–E specifica-
tion. However, the output voltages when using a ±5 V power
supply are high enough (around ±4 V) to permit proper recep-
tion by an EIA 232–E receiver, and can be used in applications
where strict compliance to EIA 232–E is not required.
Another requirement of the ML145406 drivers is that they
withstand a short to another driver in the EIA 232–E cable.
The worst–case condition that is permitted by EIA 232–E is a
±15V source that is current limited to 500 mA. The ML145406
drivers can withstand this condition momentarily. In most short
circuit conditions the source driver will have a series 300
Ω
output impedance needed to satisfy the EIA 232–E driver
requirements. This will reduce the short circuit current to
under 40 mA which is an acceptable level for the ML145406
to withstand.
Unlike some other drivers, the ML145406 drivers feature an
internally–limited output slew–rate that does not exceed 30 V
per µs.
RECEIVERS
The job of an EIA 232–E receiver is to level–shift voltages
in the range of – 25 to + 25 V down to TTL/CMOS logic lev-
els (0 to + 5 V). A voltage of between – 3 and – 25 V on Rx1
is defined as a mark and produces a logic 1 at DO1. A voltage
between + 3 and + 25 V is a space and produces a logic zero.
While receiving these signals, the Rx inputs must present a
resistance between 3 and 7 kΩ. Nominally, the input resistance
of the Rx1–Rx3 inputs is 5.4 kΩ.
The input threshold of the Rx1–Rx3 inputs is typically
biased at 1.8 V above ground (GND) with typically 800 mV of
hysteresis included to improve noise immunity. The 1.8 V bias
forces the appropriate DO pin to a logic 1 when its Rx input is
open or grounded as called for in the EIA 232–E specification
Notice that TTL logic levels can be applied to the Rx inputs in
lieu of normal EIA 232–E signal levels. This might be helpful
in situations where access to the modem or computer through
the EIA 232–E connector is necessary with TTL devices.
However, it is important not to connect the EIA 232–E outputs
(Tx1–Tx3) to TTL inputs since TTL operates off + 5 V only,
and may be damaged by the high output voltage of the
ML145406.
The DO outputs are to be connected to a TTL or CMOS
input (such as an input to a modem chip). These outputs will
swing from VCC to ground, allowing the designer to operate
the DO and DI pins from digital power supply. The Tx and Rx
sections are independently powered by VDD andVSS so that
one may run logic at + 5 V and the EIA 232–E signals at ±12V
POWER
SUPPLY CONSIDERATIONS
Figure 4 shows a technique to guard against excessive devic
current.
The diode D1 prevents excessive current from flowing
through an internal diode from the VCC pin to the VDD pin
when VDD < VCC by approximately 0.6 V. This high current
condition can exist for a short period of time during
powerup/down. Additionally, if the + 12 V supply is switched
off while the + 5 V is on and the off supply is a low impedanc
to ground, the diode D1 will prevent current flow through the
internal diode.
The diode D2 is used as a voltage clamp, to prevent VSS
from drifting positive to VCC, in the event that power is
removed from VSS (Pin 12). If VSS power is removed, and the
impedance from the VSS pin to ground is greater than approxi
mately 3 kΩ, this pin will be pulled to VCC by internal circuit
ry causing excessive current in the VCC pin.
If by design, neither of the above conditions are allowed to
exist, then the diodes D1 and D2 are not required.
ESD PROTECTION
ESD protection on IC devices that have their pins accessible
to the outside world is essential. High static voltages applied t
the pins when someone touches them either directly or indi-
rectly can cause damage to gate oxides and transistor junction
by coupling a portion of the energy from the I/O pin to the
power supply buses of the IC. This coupling will usually occur
through the internal ESD protection diodes. The key to protect
ing the IC is to shunt as much of the energy to ground as pos-
sible before it enters the IC. Figure 4 shows a technique which
will clamp the ESD voltage at approximately ±15 V using the
MMVZ15VDLT1. Any residual voltage which appears on the
supply pins is shunted to ground through the capacitors
C1–C3. This scheme has provided protection to the interface
part up to ±10kV, using the human body model test.
