Detailed Description
The ISL83385E 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 ISL83385E 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; other capacitor combinations can be used as shown
in Table 3. 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 ISL83385E contains standard inverting receivers that
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
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
