KY32xx
+3V to +5.5V RS-232 Transceivers
with POWERSAVE
General Description
The KY32xx series devices are EIA/TIA-232 and
V.28/V.24 communication interfaces achieve 1µA supply
current with KEYSEMI’s revolutionary POWERSAVE™
feature. A proprietary, high- efficiency, dual charge-
pumpregulated voltage converters and a low-dropout
transmitter
combine to
deliver
true
RS-232
performance from a single +3.0V to +5.5V supply.
These devices can operate from input voltages ranging
from +3.0V to +5.5V at the guaranteed data rate of 250k
bits/sec with enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD)
protection in all RS232 I/O pins exceeding ±15kV
EN61000-4-2 Air Gap Discharge and ±8kV EN61000-4-
2 Contact Discharge.
The POWERSAVE proprietary function which
automatically powers down the on-chip regulated voltage
converters and driver circuits when a RS-232 cable is
disconnected from the host interface or when a
connected peripheral device is turned off. The system
turns on again when a valid level is applied to any RS-
232 receiver input.

Detailed Description
Charge-Pump
The KY32xx’s family utilizes regulated on-chip dual
charge pumps that provides output voltages of
+5.5V(doubling charge pump) and -5.5V (inverting
charge pump), regardless of the input voltage (
V
CC
) over
the +3.0V to +5.5V range. The charge pumps operate in
a discontinuous mode: if the output voltages are less
than 5.5V, the charge pumps are enabled; if the output
voltages exceed 5.5V, the charge pumps are disabled.
Each charge pump requires a flying capacitor (C1, C2)
and a reservoir capacitor (C3, C4) to generate the V+ and
V- supplies.
RS-232 Receive
The KY32xx’s receivers convert RS-232 signals to
CMOS-logic output levels. They are contain standard
inverting receivers that three-state (except for the
KY3232, KY3243) via the EN or SD control lines.
Controlled Power-Down
The KY3220, KY3221, KY3222, KY3223 and KY3243
have a low-power shutdown mode controlled by the SD
pin. During shutdown the driver output and the switch-
capacitor regulated voltage converter are disabled with
the supply current falls to less than 1μA.The KY3221,
KY3223 and KY3243 use KEYSEMI’s patent pending
POWERSAVE circuitry to set/reset latches, which enable
the circuit shutdown function when a RS232 cable is
disconnected or when the peripheral is turned off and
reduce the power supply drain to 1μA supply current.
When a RS232 cable is connected or when the
peripheral is enabled, the devices will automatically
become active again.
RS-232 Transmitters
The transmitters are proprietary, low dropout, inverting
level translators that convert TTL/CMOS inputs to
EIA/TIA-232 output levels. Coupled with the on-chip 5.5V
supplies, these transmitters deliver ptrue RS-232 levels
over a wide range of single supply system voltages.
When SD is driven to ground, or the POWERSAVE
circuitry senses invalid voltage levels at all receiver
inputs, the transmitters are disabled and the outputs are
forced into a high- impedance state.
ESD Immunity
The KY32xx series incorporates ruggedized ESD cells
on all driver output and receiver input pins.

+3V to +5.5V RS-232 Transceivers
with POWERSAVE
The ESD structure is improved for more rugged
applications and environments sensitive to electro-static
discharges and associated transients.
The improved ESD tolerance is at least +15kV without
damage nor latch-up.
The circuit models in following Figures represent the
typical ESD testing circuit.
The CS is initially charged with the DC power supply
when the first switch (SW1) is on.
Now that the capacitor is charged, the second switch
(SW2) is on while SW1 switches off.
The voltage stored in the capacitor is then applied
through RS, the current limiting resistor, onto the device
under test (DUT).
In ESD tests, the SW2 switch is pulsed so that the device
under test receives a duration of voltage.
For the Human Body Model, the current limiting resistor
(RS) and the source capacitor (CS) are 1.5kΩ and 100pF,
respectively. For IEC-61000-4-2, the current limiting
resistor (RS) and the source capacitor (CS) are 330Ω
and 150pF, respectively.
The higher CS value and lower RS value in the
IEC61000-4-2 model are more stringent than the Human
Body Model.
The larger storage capacitor injects a higher voltage to
the test point when SW2 is switched on.
The lower current limiting resistor increases the current
charge onto the test point.
There are two methods within EN61000-4-2, the Air
Discharge method and the Contact Discharge method.
With the Air Discharge Method, an ESD voltage is
applied to the equipment under test through air, which
simulates an electrically charged person ready to
connect a cable onto the rear of the system and the high
energy potential on the person discharges through an
arcing path to the rear panel of the system before he or
she even touches the system.
The Contact Discharge Method applies the ESD current
directly to the EUT.
This method was devised to reduce the unpredictability
of the ESD arc.
The discharge current rise time is constant since the
energy is directly transferred without the air-gap arc
inconsistencies.
KEYSEMI's RS232 transceivers meets and exceeds the
minimum criteria for EN61000-4-2 with ±15kV for Air Gap
Discharge and ±8kV for Contact Discharge.
