RS-232 Transceivers with Enhanced
Automatic Powerdown
The Intersil ICL32XX devices are 3.0V to 5.5V powered
RS-232 transmitters/receivers which meet ElA/TIA-232 and
V.28/V.24 specifications, even at V
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 manual and enhanced
automatic powerdown functions, reduce 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 family is fully
compatible with 3.3V only systems, mixed 3.3V and 5.0V
systems, and 5.0V only systems.
The ICL3244 is a 3 driver, 5 receiver device that provides a
complete serial port suitable for laptop or notebook
computers. The ICL3244/38 also include a noninverting
always-active receiver for RING INDICATOR monitoring.
These devices feature an enhanced automatic powerdown function which powers down the on-chip powersupply and driver circuits. This occurs when all receiver and
transmitter inputs detect no signal transitions for a period of
30sec. These devices power back up, automatically,
whenever they sense a transition on any transmitter or
receiver input.

These ICL32XX interface ICs operate from a single +3V to
+5.5V supply, guarantee a 250kbps mini mu m da ta rate,
require only four small external 0.1µF capacitors, feature low
power consumption, and meet 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 ICL32XX family 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 at V
the “Capacitor Selection” section, and Table 3 for capacitor
recommendations for other operating conditions. 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.
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 when
disabled.

CC
= 3.3V. See
CC
The ICL3238 and ICL3244 inverting receivers disable during
forced (manual) powerdown, but not during automatic
powerdown (see Table 2). Conversely, the monitor receiver
remains active even during manual powerdown making it
extremely useful for Ring Indicator monitoring. Standard
receivers driving powered down peripherals must be
disabled to prevent current flow through the peripheral’s
protection diodes (see Figures 2 and 3). This renders them
useless for wake up functions, but the corresponding
monitor receiver can be dedicated to this task as shown in
Figure 3.

off (V

Powerdown Functionality
This 3V family of RS-232 interface devices requires a
nominal supply current of 0.3mA during normal operation
(not in powerdown mode). This is considerably less than the
5mA to 11mA current required of 5V RS-232 devices. 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
the transmitter outputs tristate. Inverting receiver outputs
may or may not disable in powerdown; refer to Table 2 for
details. This micro-power mode makes these devices ideal
for battery powered and portable applications.

FORCEON state isn’t critical, as FORCEOFF
over FORCEON. Nevertheless, if strictly manual control over
powerdown is desired, the user must strap FORCEON high
to disable the enhanced automatic powerdown circuitry.
ICL3238 and ICL3244 inverting (standard) receiver outputs

When using both manual and enhanced automatic powerdown
(FORCEON = 0), the ICL32XX won’t power up from manual

Enhanced Automatic Powerdown
Even greater power savings is available by using these
devices which feature an enhanced automatic powerdown
function. When the enhanced powerdown logic determines
that no transitions have occurred on any of the transmitter
nor receiver inputs for 30 seconds, the charge pump and
transmitters powerdown, thereby reducing supply current to
1µA. The ICL32XX automatically powers back up whenever
it detects a transition on one of these inputs. This automatic
powerdown feature provides additional system power
savings without changes to the existing operating system.

Note that once the ICL32XX enters powerdown (manually or

Capacitor Selection
The charge pumps require 0.1µF capacitors for 3.3V
operation. For other supply voltages refer to Table 3 for
capacitor values. Do not use values smaller than those listed
in Table 3. Increasing the capacitor values (by a factor of 2)

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-.

supplies exceed approximately 3V.
Operation Down to 2.7V
ICL32XX transmitter outputs meet RS-562 levels (±3.7V), at
the full data rate, with V
as low as 2.7V. RS-562 levels
CC
typically ensure interoperability with RS-232 devices.
Mouse Driveability
The ICL3244 is specifically designed to power a serial
mouse while operating from low voltage supplies. Figure 11
shows the transmitter output voltages under increasing load
current. The on-chip switching regulator ensures the
transmitters will supply at least
±5V during worst case
conditions (15mA for paralleled V+ transmitters, 7.3mA for
single V- transmitter).

High Data Rates
The ICL32XX maintain the RS-232 ±5V minimum transmitter
output voltages even at high data rates. Figure 12 details a
transmitter loopback test circuit, and Figure 13 illustrates the
loopback test result at 120kbps. For this test, all transmitters
were simultaneously driving RS-232 loads in parallel with

for a single transmitter driving 1000pF and an RS-232 load
at 250kbps. The static transmitters were also loaded with an
RS-232 receiver.

Interconnection with 3V and 5V Logic
The ICL32XX directly interface with 5V CMOS and TTL logic
families. Nevertheless, with the ICL32XX at 3.3V, and the
logic supply at 5V, AC, HC, and CD4000 outputs can drive
ICL32XX inputs, but ICL32XX outputs do not reach the
minimum V
