Description
The ICL232 is a dual RS-232 transmitter/receiver interface
circuit that meets all ElA RS-232C and V.28 specifications. It
requires a single +5V power supply, and features two
onboard charge pump voltage converters which generate
+10V and -10V supplies from the 5V supply.
The drivers feature true TTL/CMOS input compatibility, slewrate-limited output, and 300Ω power-off source impedance.
The receiverscan handle up to +30V,andhavea3kΩ to 7kΩ
input impedance. The receivers also have hysteresis to
improve noise rejection.

Detailed Description
The ICL232 is a dual RS-232 transmitter/receiver powered by
a single +5V power supply which meets all ElA RS232C specifications and features low power consumption. The functional
diagram illustrates the major elements of the ICL232. The circuit is divided into three sections: a voltage doubler/inverter,
dual transmitters, and dual receivers Voltage Converter.
An equivalent circuit of the dual charge pump is illustrated in
Figure 5.
The voltage quadrupler contains two charge pumps which use
two phases of an internally generated clock to generate +10V
and -10V. The nominal clock frequency is 16kHz. During
phase one of the clock, capacitor C1 is charged to V
During phase two, the voltage on C1 is added to V
producinga signalacrossC2 equal to twice V
time,C3isalsochargedto2V
, and then during phase one,
CC
.Atthesame
CC
it is inverted with respect to ground to produce a signal across
C4 equal to -2V
. The voltage converter accepts input
CC
voltages up to 5.5V.The output impedance of the doubler (V+)
is approximately 200Ω, and the output impedance of the
inverter (V-) is approximately 450Ω . Typical graphs are
presented which show the voltage converters output vs input
voltage and output voltages vs load characteristics. The test
circuit (Figure 3) uses 1µF capacitors for C1-C4, however, the
value is not critical. Increasing the values of C1 and C2 will
lower the output impedance of the voltage doubler and
inverter, and increasing the values of the reservoir capacitors,
C3 and C4, lowers the ripple on the V+ and V- supplies.

Transmitters
The transmitters are TTL/CMOS compatible inverters which
.
translate the inputs to RS-232 outputs.The input logicthresh-
,
old is about 26% of V
,or1.3VforVCC=5V.Alogic1at
CC
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 sta te. The output voltage swing
meets the RS-232C specification of ±5V minimum with the
worst case conditions of: both transmitters driving 3kΩ minimum load impedance, V
= 4.5V, and maximum allowable
CC
operating 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 shortedto ground indefinitely. The powered down output impedance is a minimum of

Receivers
The receiver inputs accept up to ±30V while presenting the
required 3kΩ to 7kΩ input impedance even it the power is off
(V
= 0V). The receivers have a typical input threshold of
CC
1.3V which i s within the ±3V limits, known as the transition
region, of the RS-232 specification. The receiver output is
0V to V
. The output will be low whenever the input is
CC
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 improve noise rejection.

INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
In applications requiring four RS-232 inputs and outputs
(Figure 11), note that each circuit requires two 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.

Applications
The ICL232 may be used for all RS-232 data terminal and
communication links. It is particularly useful in applications
where ±12V power supplies are not available for conventional RS-232 interface circuits. The applications presented
representtypical interface configurations.
A simple duplex RS-232 port with CTS/RTS handshaking is
illustrated in Figure 10. Fixed output signals such as DTR
(data terminal ready) and DSRS (data signaling rate select)
is generated by driving them through a 5kΩ resistor
