The HIN231-HIN241 family ofRS-232 transmitters/receivers
interface ci rcui tsmeet allElA RS-232E and V.28 specifications,
and areparticularly suited for t hoseapplications where ±12V is
not available. They require asingle +5V power supply (except
HIN231 and HIN239)and feature onboard charge pump
voltage converters which generate +10V and -10V supplies
from t he5V supply. The f amilyof devicesoffer a wide variety of
RS-232transmitter/receivercombinationsto accommodate
various applications (see Selection Table).
The drivers feature true TTL/CMOS input compatibility,slewrate-limited output, and 300Ω power-off source impedance.
The receivers can handle up to ±30V,and have a 3kΩ to 7kΩ
input i mpedance. The receivers also feature hysteresis to
greatly improve noise rejection.

FIGURE 1. CHARGE PUMP
Detailed Description
The HIN232 thru HIN241 family of RS-232
transmitters/receivers are powered by a single +5V power
supply (except HIN231 and HIN239), feature low power
consumption, and meet all ElA RS-232C and V.28
specifications. The circuit is divided into three sections: The
charge pump, transmitter, and receiver.
Charge Pump
An equivalent circuit of the charge pump is illustrated in Figure
1. The charge pumpcontainstwo s ections:the voltage
doubler and the voltage inverter. Each section is driven by a
two phase, internally generated clockto generate+10V and
-10V. The nominal clock frequency is 16kHz.Duringphase
one of the clock, capacitor C1 is charged to V
phasetwo,thevoltageonC1isaddedtoV
signal across C3 equal to twice V
also charged to 2V
to 5.5V. The output impedance of the voltage doubler section
(V+)is approximately200Ω, and the output impedance of the
voltage inverter section (V-) is approximately 450Ω.Atypical
application uses1µF capacitors for C1-C4, however, the value
isnot critical. Increasing the valuesof C1 and C2 will lower the
outputimpedance of the voltage doublerand inverter,
increasing the values of the reservoir capacitors, C3 and C4,
lowers the ripple on the V+ and V-supplies.
During shutdown mode (HIN236, 240 and 241),
SHUTDOWN control l ine set to logic “1”, the charge pump is
turnedoff, V+ is pulled down to V
,V-ispulleduptoGND,
CC
and the supply current is reduced to less than 10µA. The
transmitter outputsare disabled and the receiveroutputs are
placed in the high impedance state.
Transmitters
The transmitters are TTL/CMOS compatible inverters which
translate the inputs to RS-232 outputs. The input logic

threshold is about 26% of V
,or1.3VforVCC= 5V . A logic 1
CC
at the input results in a voltage of between -5V and V- at the
output, and a logic 0 results in a voltage between +5V and (V+
-0.6V). Each transmitter input has an internal 400kΩ pullup
resistor so any unused input can be left unconnected and its
output remains in its low state. The output voltage swing meets
the RS-232C specifications of ±5V minimum with the worst
case conditions of: all transmitters driving 3kΩ minimum load
impedance, V
= 4.5V,and maximum allowable operating
CC
temperature. The transmitters have an internally limited output
slew rate which is less than 30V/µs. The outputs are short
circuit protected and can be shorted to ground indefinitely. The
powered down output impedance is a minimum of 300Ω with
±2V applied to the outputs and V

Receivers
The receiver inputs accept up to ±30V while presenting the
required3kΩ to 7kΩ inputimpedance even if the power is off
(V
= 0V). The receivers have a typical input threshold of
CC
1.3V which is within the ±3V l imits, known as the transition
region, of the RS-232 specifications. The receiver output is
0V to V
greater than 2.4V and high whenever the input is floating or
driven between +0.8V and -30V. The receivers feature 0.5V
hysteresis to i mprove noise rejection.The receiver Enable

disables the receiver outputs, placing them i n the high
impedance m ode. The receiver outputs are also placed in
the high impedance state when in shutdown mode.

FIGURE 7. GENERAL TEST CIRCUITFIGURE 8. POWER-OFF SOURCE RESISTANCE
Applications
The HIN2XX may be used f or all RS-232 data terminal and
communicationlinks. It is particularly useful in applications
where ±12V power supplies are not available for
conventionalRS-232 interface circuits. The applications
presented represent typical interface configurations.
A simple duplex RS-232 port with CTS/RTS handshaking is
illustrated in Figure 9. Fixed output signals such as DTR
(data terminal ready) and DSRS (data signaling rate select)
is generated by driving them through a 5kΩ resistor
connected to V+.
In applications requiring four RS-232 inputs and outputs
(Figure10), note that each circuit requires t wo charge pump
capacitors (C1 and C2) but can share common reservoir
capacitors (C3 and C4). The benefit of sharing common
reservoir capacitors is the elimination of two capacitors and
the reduction of the charge pump source impedance which
effectively increases the output swing of the transmitters.
