The ST3222 is a 3V powered EIA/TIA-232 and
V.28/V.24 communications interface with low
powerrequirementsandhighdata-rate
capabilities. ST3222 has a proprietary low dropout
transmitter output stage providing true RS-232
performance from 3 to 3.6V power supplies. The
device requires only four small 0.1µF standard
external capacitors for operating from 3V s upply.
The ST3222 has t w o r ec eivers and two drivers.
TheST3222featuresa1µA shutdown mode that
reduces power consumption and extends battery
life in portable systems. Its receivers can remain
active in shutdown mode, allowing external
devices s uc h as modems to be moni tored using
only1µAsupply current.
The device is guaranteed to run at da ta rates of
250Kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels.
Typical applications are Notebook, Subnotebook
andPalmtopComputers,BatteryPowered
Equipment, Hand-Held Equipment, Peripherals
and Printers.
