Detailed Description
The ISL83384E operates from a single +3V to +5.5V supply,
guarantees a 250Kbps minimum data rate, requires only four
small external 0.1µF 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 (3kΩ and 1000pF), V
CC
≥
3.0V, with one
transmitter operating at full speed. Under more typical
conditions of V
CC
≥
3.3V, R
L
= 3kΩ, 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 ISL83384E 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 0.1µF capacitors for the
voltage doubler and inverter functions over the full V
CC
range. 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.
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.
Receivers
The ISL83384E contains standard inverting receivers that
three-state via the SHDN control line. Receivers driving
powered down peripherals must be disabled to prevent
current flow through the peripheral’s protection diodes (see
Figures 2 and 3).

ISL83384E
All the receivers convert RS-232 signals to CMOS output
levels and accept inputs up to
±30V
while presenting the
required 3kΩ to 7kΩ input impedance (see Figure 1) even if
the power is off (V
CC
= 0V). The receivers’ Schmitt trigger
input stage uses hysteresis to increase noise immunity and
decrease errors due to slow input signal transitions.

Low Power Operation
This 3V device requires a nominal supply current of 0.3mA,
even at V
CC
= 5.5V, during normal operation (not in
powerdown mode). This is considerably less than the 11mA
current required by comparable 5V RS-232 devices,
allowing users to reduce system power simply by replacing
the old style device with the ISL83384E.

Low Power, Pin Compatible Replacement
Pin compatibility with existing 5V products (e.g., MAX222),
coupled with the wide operating supply range, make the
ISL83384E a potential lower power, higher performance
drop-in replacement for existing 5V applications. As long as
the
±5V
RS-232 output swings are acceptable, and
transmitter pull-up resistors aren’t required, the ISL83384E
should work in most 5V applications.
When replacing a device in an existing 5V application, it is
acceptable to terminate C
3
to V
CC
as shown on the “Typical
Operating Circuit”. Nevertheless, terminate C
3
to GND if
possible, as slightly better performance results from this
configuration.

Powerdown Functionality
The already low current requirement drops significantly
when the device enters powerdown mode. In powerdown,
supply current drops to 1µA, because the on-chip charge
pump turns off (V+ collapses to V
CC
, V- collapses to GND),
and the transmitter and receiver outputs three-state. This
micro-power mode makes these devices ideal for battery
powered and portable applications.

Software Controlled (Manual) Powerdown
The ISL83384E may be forced into its low power, standby
state via a simple shutdown (SHDN) pin (see Figure 4).
Driving this pin high enables normal operation, while driving
it low forces the IC into it’s powerdown state. The time
required to exit powerdown, and resume transmission is less
