EIA-232-D/V.28 driver/receiver
MC145406
DESCRIPTION
The MC145406 is a silicon-gate CMOS IC that combines 3 drivers
and 3 receivers to fulfill the electrical specifications of standards
EIA-232-D and CCITT V.28. The drivers feature true TTL input
compatibility, slew-rate limited output, 300
Ω
power-off source
impedance, and output typically switching to within 25% of the
supply rails. The receivers can handle up to +25V while presenting
3 to 7kΩ impedance. Hysteresis in the receiver 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-D and V.28 applications.

This device contains protection circuitry to protect the inputs against damage due to high static voltages or electric fields; however, it is

PIN DESCRIPTION
Positive power supply.
The most positive power supply pin, which is typically 5 to 12 volts.
Negative power supply.
The most negative power supply pin, which is typically -5 to -12 volts.
Digital power supply.
The digital supply pin, which is connected to the logic power supply (maximum +5.5V).
Ground.
Ground return pin is typically connected to the signal ground pin of the EIA-232-D connector (Pin 7)
as well as to the logic power supply ground.
Receive Data Input.
These are the EIA-232-D receive signal inputs whose voltages can range from +25 to
-25V. A voltage between +3 and +25 is decoded as a space and causes the corresponding DO pin to swing
to ground (0V); a voltage between -3 and -25V is decoded as a mark and causes the DO pin to swing up to V
CC
.
The actual turn-on input switchpoint is typically biased at 1.8V above ground, and includes 800mV of hysteresis
for noise rejection. The nominal input impedance is 5kΩ. An open or grounded input pin is interpreted as a mark,
forcing the DO pin to V
CC
.
Data Output.
These are the receiver digital output pins, which swing from V
CC
to GND. A space on the RX
pin causes DO to produce a logic zero; a mark produces a logic one. Each output pin is capable of driving one
LSTTL input load.
Data Input.
These are the high-impedance digital input pins to the drivers. TTL compatibility is accomplished
by biasing the input switchpoint at 1.4V above ground. However, 5V CMOS compatibility is maintained as well.
Input voltage levels on these pins must be between V
CC
and GND.
Transmit Data Output.
These are the EIA-232-D transmit signal output pins, which swing toward V
DD
and V
SS
.
A logic one at a DI input causes the corresponding TX output to swing toward V
SS
. A logic zero causes the
output to swing toward V
DD
(the output voltages will be slightly less than V
DD
or V
SS
depending upon the output
load). Output slew rates are limited to a maximum of 30V/µs. When the MC145406 is off (V
DD
= V
SS
= V
CC
= GND), the minimum output impedance is 300Ω.

defines the electrical and physical interface between 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, which allow the transfer of timing, data,
control, and test signals. The MC145406 provides the necessary
level shifting between the TTL/CMOS logic levels and the high
voltage levels of EIA-232-D (ranging from +3 to +25V).

Figure 1. Power-Off Source Resistance (Drivers)
As defined by the specification, an EIA-232-D driver presents a
voltage of between +5 to +15V into a load of between 3 to 7kΩ. A
logic one at the driver input results in a voltage of between -5 to
-15V. A logic zero results in a voltage between +5 to +15V. When
operating at +7 to +12V, the MC145406 meets this requirement.
When operating at +5V, the MC145406 drivers produce less than
+5V at the output (when terminated), which does not meet the
EIA-232-D specification. However, the output voltages when using
a +5V power supply are high enough (around +4V) to permit proper
reception by an EIA-232-D receiver, and can be used in applications
where strict compliance to EIA-232-D is not required.
Another requirement of the MC145406 drivers is that they withstand
a short to another driver in the EIA-232-D cable. The worst-case
condition that is permitted by EIA-232-D is a +15V source that is
current limited to 500mA. The MC145406 drivers can withstand this
condition momentarily. In most short circuit conditions the source
driver will have a series 300Ω output impedance needed to satisfy
the EIA-232-D driver requirements. This will reduce the short circuit
current to under 40mA which is an acceptable level for the
MC145406 to withstand.
Unlike some other drivers, the MC145406 drivers feature an
internally-limited output slew rate that does not exceed 30V/µs.

The job of an EIA-232-D receiver is to level-shift voltages in the
range of -25 to +25V down to TTL/CMOS logic levels (0 to +5V). A
voltage of between -3 and -25V on RX
1
is defined as a mark and
produces a logic one at DO
1
. A voltage between +3 and +25V is a
space and produces a logic zero. While receiving these signals, the
RX inputs must present a resistance between 3 and 7kΩ.
Nominally, the input resistance of the RX
1-3
inputs is 5.0kΩ.
The input threshold of the RX
1-3
inputs is typically biased at 1.8V
above ground (GND) with typically 800mV of hysteresis included to
improve noise immunity. The 1.8V bias forces the appropriate DO
pin to a logic one when its RX input is open or grounded as called
for in EIA-232-D specification. Notice that TTL logic levels can be
applied to the RX inputs in lieu of normal EIA-232-D signal levels.
This might be helpful in situations where access to the modem or
computer through the EIA-232-D connector is necessary with TTL
devices. However, it is important not to connect the EIA-232-D
outputs (TX
1
) to TTL inputs since TTL operates off +5V 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 chip). These outputs will swing from V
CC
to
ground, allowing the designer to operate the DO and DI pins from
the digital power supply. The TX and RX sections are independently
powered by V
DD
and V
SS
so that one may run logic at +5V and the
EIA-232-D signals at +12V.
