Detailed Description
The ISL83220E 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 transmitter, and the receiver.
these transmitters deliver true RS-232 levels over a wide
range of single supply system voltages.
The transmitter output disables and assumes a high
impedance state when the device enters the powerdown
mode (see Table 2). This output 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. Under more
typical conditions of V
CC
≥
3.3V, R
L
= 3kΩ, and C
L
= 250pF,
the ISL83220E easily operates at 900kbps.
Transmitter inputs float if left unconnected, and may cause
I
CC
increases.
Charge-Pump
Intersil’s new 3.3V 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 0.1μF capacitors for the
voltage doubler and inverter functions, even at V
CC
= 3.3V.
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.
Receivers
The ISL83220E device contains a standard inverting
receiver that three-states via the EN control line. Receivers
convert RS-232 signals to CMOS output levels and accept
inputs up to
±25V
while presenting the required 3kΩ to 7kΩ
input impedance (see Figure 1) even if the power is off
(V
CC
= 0V). The receiver’s Schmitt trigger input stage uses
hysteresis to increase noise immunity and decrease errors
due to slow input signal transitions.
Transmitters
The transmitters are proprietary, low dropout, inverting
drivers that translate TTL/CMOS inputs to EIA/TIA-232
