applications are PDAs, Palmtops, and notebook and laptop
computers where the low operational, and even lower
standby, power consumption is critical. Efficient on-chip
charge pumps, coupled with a manual powerdown function
reduces the standby supply current to a 1µA trickle. Small
footprint packaging, and the use of small, low value
capacitors ensure board space savings as well. Data rates
greater than 250kbps are guaranteed at worst case load
conditions. This device is fully compatible with 3.3V only

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.
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
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
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.
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
range of single supply system voltages.

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

conditions (3kΩ and 1000pF), V

conditions of V

Low Power Operation
This 3V device requires a nominal supply current of 0.3mA,

= 5.5V, during normal operation (not in

powerdown mode). This is considerably less than the 11mA
current required by comparable 5V RS-232 devices, allowing
users to reduce system power simply by replacing the old
style device with the ISL83385E in new designs.
Powerdown Functionality
The already low current requirement drops significantly
when the device enters powerdown mode. In powerdown,
supply current drops to 1µA, because the on-chip charge
pump turns off (V+ collapses to V
and the transmitter outputs three-state. This micro-power
mode makes these devices ideal for battery powered and
portable applications.
Software Controlled (Manual) Powerdown
The ISL83385E may be forced into its low power, standby
state via a simple shutdown (SHDN

Capacitor Selection
These charge pumps only require 0.1µF capacitors for the
full operational voltage range. Table 3 lists other acceptable
capacitor values for various supply voltage ranges. Do not
use values smaller than those listed in Table 3. Increasing
the capacitor values (by a factor of 2) reduces ripple on the
transmitter outputs and slightly reduces power consumption.
When using minimum required capacitor values, make sure
that capacitor values do not degrade excessively with
temperature. If in doubt, use capacitors with a larger nominal
value. The capacitor’s equivalent series resistance (ESR)
usually rises at low temperatures and it influences the
amount of ripple on V+ and V-.

transmitter outputs properly go to opposite RS-232 levels,
with no glitching, ringing, nor undesirable transients. Each
transmitter is loaded with 3kΩ in parallel with 2500pF. Note
that the transmitters enable only when the magnitude of the
supplies exceed approximately 3V.

ISL83385E
±15kV ESD Protection
All pins on the 3V interface devices include ESD protection
structures, but the ISL83385E incorporates advanced
structures which allow the RS-232 pins (transmitter outputs
and receiver inputs) to survive ESD events up to ±15kV. The
RS-232 pins are particularly vulnerable to ESD damage
because they typically connect to an exposed port on the
exterior of the finished product. Simply touching the port
pins, or connecting a cable, can cause an ESD event that
might destroy unprotected ICs. These new ESD structures
protect the device whether or not it is powered up, protect
without allowing any latchup mechanism to activate, and
don’t interfere with RS-232 signals as large as ±25V.
Human Body Model (HBM) Testing
As the name implies, this test method emulates the ESD
event delivered to an IC during human handling. The tester
delivers the charge through a 1.5kΩ current limiting resistor,
making the test less severe than the IEC61000 test which
utilizes a 330Ω limiting resistor. The HBM method
determines an ICs ability to withstand the ESD transients
typically present during handling and manufacturing. Due to
the random nature of these events, each pin is tested with
respect to all other pins. The RS-232 pins on “E” family
devices can withstand HBM ESD events to ±15kV.
IEC61000-4-2 Testing
The IEC61000 test method applies to finished equipment,
rather than to an individual IC. Therefore, the pins most likely
to suffer an ESD event are those that are exposed to the
outside world (the RS-232 pins in this case), and the IC is
tested in its typical application configuration (power applied)
rather than testing each pin-to-pin combination. The lower
current limiting resistor coupled with the larger charge
storage capacitor yields a test that is much more severe than
the HBM test. The extra ESD protection built into this
device’s RS-232 pins allows the design of equipment
meeting level 4 criteria without the need for additional board
level protection on the RS-232 port.
AIR-GAP DISCHARGE TEST METHOD
For this test method, a charged probe tip moves toward the
IC pin until the voltage arcs to it. The current waveform
delivered to the IC pin depends on approach speed,
humidity, temperature, etc., so it is difficult to obtain
repeatable results. The “E” device RS-232 pins withstand
±15kV air-gap discharges.
CONTACT DISCHARGE TEST METHOD
During the contact discharge test, the probe contacts the
tested pin before the probe tip is energized, thereby
eliminating the variables associated with the air-gap
discharge. The result is a more repeatable and predictable
test, but equipment limits prevent testing devices at voltages
higher than ±8kV. All “E” family devices survive ±8kV contact
discharges on the RS-232 pins.
