1 Microamp, +3V to +5.5V, 250kbps, RS-232 Transceivers with Enhanced
Automatic Powerdown
The Intersil ICL32XX devices are 3.0V to 5.5V powered
RS-232 transmitters/receivers which meet ElA/TIA-232 and
V.28/V.24 specifications, even at V
CC
= 3.0V. Targeted
applications are PDAs, Palmtops, and notebook and laptop
computers where the low operational, and even lower
standby, power consumption is critical. Efficient on-chip
charge pumps, coupled with manual and enhanced
automatic powerdown functions, reduce the standby supply
current to a 1A trickle. Small footprint packaging, and the
use of small, low value capacitors ensure board space
savings as well. Data rates greater than 250kbps are
guaranteed at worst case load conditions. This family is fully
compatible with 3.3V only systems, mixed 3.3V and 5.0V
systems, and 5.0V only systems.
The ICL3244 is a 3 driver, 5 receiver device that provides a
complete serial port suitable for laptop or notebook
computers. The ICL3244/38 also include a noninverting
always-active receiver for RING INDICATOR monitoring.
These devices feature an
enhanced automatic
powerdown
function which powers down the on-chip power-
supply and driver circuits. This occurs when all receiver and
transmitter inputs detect no signal transitions for a period of
30sec. These devices power back up, automatically,
whenever they sense a transition on any transmitter or
receiver input.
Table 1 summarizes the features of the devices represented
by this data sheet, while Application Note AN9863
summarizes the features of each device comprising the
ICL32XX 3V family.

FUNCTION
FORCEOFF Active low to shut down transmitters and on-chip power supply. This overrides any automatic circuitry and FORCEON (see Table 2).
FORCEON
Active high input to override automatic powerdown circuitry thereby keeping transmitters active. (FORCEOFF must be high).
