Detailed Description
The ISL83220E operates from a single +3V to +5.5V supply,
guarantees a 250kbps minimum data rate, requires only four
small external 0.1F 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.
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 (3k and 1000pF), V
CC
3.0V. Under more typical
conditions of V
CC
3.3V, R
L
= 3k, 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 0.1F 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 3k to 7k 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 output levels.
