DESCRIPTION

The ST3243 device consists of 3 drivers, 5
receivers and a dual charge-pump circuit. The
device meets the requirements of EIA/TIA and
V.28/V.24 comuni cation standards providing hi gh
data rate capability.

The receiver R2 is always active to implement a
wake-up feature for serial port.

The ST3243 has a proprietary low-dropout
transmitter output stage enabling true RS-232
performance from a 3.0V to 5.5V supply with a
dual charge pump. The device is guaranteed to
run at data rates of 250kbps while maintaining
RS-232 output levels.

The Auto-powerdown feature functions when
FORCEON is low and FORCEOFF

is high. During
this mode of operation, if the device does not
sense a valid RS-232 signal, the driver outputs are
disabled. If FORCEOFF

is set low, both drivers
and receivers (expert R2B) are shut off, and
supply current is reduced to 1mA. Disconnecting

SOP

SSOP

TSSOP

the serial port or turning off the p eripheral drives
causes the auto-powerdown condition to occur.
Auto-powerdown can be disabled when
FORCEON and FORCEOFF

are high, and should
be done when driving a serial mouse. With
Auto-powerdown enable d, the d evice is act ivated
automatically when a valid signal is applied to any
receiver i nput.
Typical application are in notebook, subnot ebook,
palmtop computers, battery-powered equipment,
hand-held equipment, peripherals and printers.
