Detailed Description
The ICL32X7 interface ICs operate from a single +3V to +5.5V
power supply, guarantee a 250kbps minimum data rate,
require only four small external 0.1F capacitors, feature low
power consumption, and meet all ElA RS-232C and V.28
specifications. The circuit is divided into three sections: The
charge pump, the transmitters, and the receivers.
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.
ICL3217 transmitter outputs disable and assume a high
impedance state when the device enters the automatic
powerdown mode. These outputs may be driven to
12V
when
disabled.
Both 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 800kbps.
Transmitter inputs float if left unconnected, and may cause I
CC
increases. Connect unused inputs to GND for the best
performance.
Charge-Pump
Intersil’s new ICL32XX family 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 at V
CC
= 3.3V. See the
“Capacitor Selection” section, and Table 3 for capacitor
recommendations for other operating conditions. 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),
