The Intersil ICL3237E contains 3.0V to 5.5V powered
RS-232 transmitters/receivers which meet ElA/TIA-232 and
V.28/V.24 specifications, even at V
provides
Human Body Model) on transmitter outputs and receiver
inputs (RS-232 pins). Targeted applications are cell phones,
PDAs, P almtops , and notebook and laptop computers where
the low operational, and even lower standby, power
consumption is critical. Efficient on-chip charge pumps,
coupled with the manual powerdown function, reduce the
standby supply current to a 10nA trickle. Small footprint
packaging, and the use of small, low value capacitors ensure
board space savings as well. Data rates greater than 1Mbps

conditions. The ICL3237E is fully compatible with 3.3V only
systems, mixed 3.3V and 5.0V systems, and 5.0V only
systems.
The ICL3237E is a 5 driver, 3 receiver device that also
includes a noninverting always-active receiver for “wake-up”
capability.
