Detailed Description
The ICL32X7E interface ICs operate from a single +3V to
+5.5V power supply, guarantee a 250kbps minimum data
rate, require only four small external 0.1F capacitors,
feature low power consumption, and meet all ElA RS-232C
and V.28 specifications. The circuit is divided into three
sections: charge pump, transmitters and receivers.
Charge-Pump
Intersil’s new ICL32XXE family utilizes regulated on-chip
dual charge pumps as voltage doublers, and voltage
inverters to generate 5.5V transmitter supplies from a V
CC
supply as low as 3V. 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 0.1F capacitors
for the voltage doubler and inverter functions at V
CC
=3.3V.
See 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.
ICL3217E transmitter outputs disable and assume a high
impedance state when the device enters the automatic
powerdown mode. These outputs may be driven to 12V
when disabled.
Both devices guarantee a 250kbps data rate for full load
conditions (3k and 1000pF), V
CC
3.0V, with one
transmitter operating at full speed. Under more typical
conditions of V
CC
3.3V, R
L
=3k, and C
L
= 250pF, one
transmitter easily operates at 800kbps.
Transmitter inputs float if left unconnected, and may cause

increases. Connect unused inputs to GND for the best
performance.

Receivers
The ICL32X7E each contain inverting receivers that convert
RS-232 signals to CMOS output levels and accept inputs up
to 25V while presenting the required 3k to 7k input
impedance (see Figure 1) even if the power is off
(V
CC
= 0V). The receivers’ Schmitt trigger input stage uses
hysteresis to increase noise immunity and decrease errors
due to slow input signal transitions.
Receivers on the ICL3207E are always active. The
ICL3217E receivers disable when in the automatic
powerdown state, thereby eliminating the possible current
path through a shutdown peripheral’s input protection diode
(see Figures 2 and 3).
Low Power Operation
These 3V devices require a nominal supply current of
0.3mA, even at V
CC
= 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 ICL3207E.
Low Power, Pin Compatible Replacement
Pin compatibility with existing 5V products (e.g., MAX207E),
coupled with the wide operating supply range, make the
ICL32X7E potential lower power, higher performance drop-in
replacements for existing ‘2X7E 5V applications. As long as
the 5V RS-232 output swings are acceptable, the
ICL32X7E devices should work in most 5V applications.
When replacing a ‘207E or ‘237E device in an existing 5V
application, it is acceptable to terminate C
3
to V
CC
as shown
on the Typical Operating Circuit. Nevertheless, terminate C
3
to GND if possible, as slightly better performance results
from this configuration.
Automatic Powerdown (ICL3217E Only)
Even greater power savings is available by using the
ICL3217E which features an automatic powerdown function.
When no valid RS-232 voltages (see Figure 4) are sensed
on any receiver input for 30s, the ICL3217E automatically
enters its powerdown state (see Figure 5). In powerdown,
supply current drops to 1A, because the on-chip charge
pump turns off (V+ collapses to V
CC
, V- collapses to GND),
and the receiver and transmitter outputs three-state (see
Table 2). This micro-power mode makes the ICL3217E ideal
for battery powered and portable applications. Invalid
receiver levels occur whenever the driving peripheral’s
outputs are shut off (powered down) or when the RS-232
interface cable is disconnected. The ICL3217E powers back
up whenever it detects a valid RS-232 voltage level on any
receiver input (such as when the RS-232 cable is
reconnected). The time to recover from automatic
powerdown mode is typically 100s.
