Driver/Receiver
EIA 232–E and CCITT V.28 (Formerly RS–232–D)
The MC145406 is a silicon–gate CMOS IC that combines three drivers
and three receivers to fulfill the electrical specifications of standards

compatibility, slew–rate–limited output, 300–Ω power–off source imped-
ance, and output typically 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 MC145406 provides
efficient, low–power solutions for EIA 232–E and V.28 applications.

This device contains protection circuitry to pro-
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

Rx1, Rx2, Rx3
Receive Data Input (Pins 2, 4, 6)
These are the EIA 232–E receive signal inputs whose
voltages 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 (0
V); 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–on input switchpoint is typically biased at 1.8 V above
ground, and includes 800mV of hysteresis for noise rejec-
tion. 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 pro-
duce a logic 0; a mark produces a logic 1. Each output pin is
capable of driving one LSTTL input load.
DI1, DI2, DI3
Data Input (Pins 10, 12,14)
These are the high–impedance digital input pins to the
drivers. TTL compatibility is accomplished by biasing the in-
put switchpoint at 1.4 V above GND. However, 5–V CMOS
compatibility is maintained as well. Input voltage levels on
these pins must be between VCC and GND.
Tx1, Tx2, Tx3
Transmit Data Output(Pins 3, 5, 7)
These are the EIA 232–E transmit signal output pins,
which swing toward VDD and VSS. A logic 1 at a DI input
causes the corresponding Tx output to swing toward VSS. A
logic 0 causes the output to swing toward VDD (the output
voltages will be 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 MC145406 is off (VDD = VSS = VCC
= GND), the minimum output impedance is 300
Ω.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The MC145406 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 be-
tween Data Communication Equipment (DCE) and Data
Terminal 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 log-
ic levels of the computer or modem and the high voltage lev-
els of EIA 232–E, which can range from
±
3 to
±
25 V. The
MC145406 provides the necessary level shifting as well as
meeting other aspects of the EIA 232–E specification.
DRIVERS
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 oper-
ates off + 5 V only, and may be damaged by the high output
voltage of the MC145406.
The DO outputs are to be connected to a TTL or CMOS
input (such as an input to a modem

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 volt-
age between + 3 and + 25 V is a space and produces a logic
zero. While receiving these signals, the Rx inputs must pres-
ent a resistance between 3 and 7 kΩ. Nominally, the input re-
sistance 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
plied to the pins when someone touches them either directly
or indirectly can cause damage to gate oxides and transistor
junctions 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
protecting the IC is to shunt as much of the energy to ground
as possible before it enters the IC. Figure 4 shows a tech-
nique 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
±
10 kV, using the human body model
test.
