+/- 15kV ESD Protected, +3V to +5.5V, Low
Power, 250kbps, RS-232
Transmitters/Receivers
The Intersil ICL32X7E devices are 3V to 5.5V powered
RS-232 transmitters (five)/receivers (three) which meet
ElA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 specifications, even at
VCC = 3.0V. Additionally, they provide 15kV ESD protection
(IEC61000-4-2 Air Gap) and 15kV Human Body Model
protection on transmitter outputs and receiver inputs
(RS-232 pins). Targeted applications are ISDN Terminal
Adaptors, PDAs, Palmtops, peripherals, and notebook and
laptop computers where the low operational, and even lower
standby, power consumption is critical. The ICL3217E’s
efficient on-chip charge pumps, coupled with an automatic
powerdown function, reduces the standby supply current to
a 1A 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 5V systems, and
5V-only systems, and is a lower power, pin-for-pin
replacement for ‘207E and ‘237E type devices.
The ICL3217E features an automatic powerdown function
which powers down the on-chip power-supply and driver
circuits. This occurs when an attached peripheral device is
shut off or the RS-232 cable is removed, conserving system
power automatically, without changes to the hardware or
operating system. The ICL3217E powers up again when a
valid RS-232 voltage is applied to any receiver input.

Detailed Description
Transmitters
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 0.1F 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.
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.
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 VCC
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 0.1F capacitors
for the voltage doubler and inverter functions at VCC = 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.
5
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), VCC  3.0V, with one
transmitter operating at full speed. Under more typical
conditions of VCC  3.3V, RL = 3k, and CL = 250pF, one
transmitter easily operates at 800kbps.
Transmitter inputs float if left unconnected, and may cause
ICC increases. Connect unused inputs to GND for the best
performance.
ICL3207E, ICL3217E
Receivers
VCC
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
(VCC = 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).

These 3V devices require a nominal supply current of
0.3mA, even at VCC = 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.

FIGURE 3. DISABLED RECEIVERS PREVENT POWER DRAIN
When replacing a ‘207E or ‘237E device in an existing 5V
application, it is acceptable to terminate C3 to VCC as shown
on the Typical Operating Circuit. Nevertheless, terminate C3
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 30s, the ICL3217E automatically
enters its powerdown state (see Figure 5). In powerdown,
supply current drops to 1A, because the on-chip charge
pump turns off (V+ collapses to VCC, 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 100s.

increased without increasing C1’s value, however, do not
increase C1 without also increasing C2, C3, and C4 to

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-.

In most circumstances a 0.1F bypass capacitor is

FIGURE 5. AUTOMATIC POWERDOWN TIMING DIAGRAM
This automatic powerdown feature provides additional
system power savings without changes to the existing
operating system or hardware.
Utilizing power management circuitry, to power down the
rest of the communication circuitry (e.g., the UART) when
the ICL3217E powers down, produces even greater power
savings. Connecting a transition detector to the V- pin (see
Figure 3) is an easy way for the power management logic to
determine when the ICL3217E enters and exits powerdown.
Transmitter Outputs when Exiting
Powerdown
Figure 6 shows the response of two ICL3217E transmitter
outputs when exiting powerdown mode. As they activate, the
two transmitter outputs properly go to opposite RS-232
levels, with no glitching, ringing, nor undesirable transients.
Each transmitter is loaded with 3kin parallel with 2500pF.
Note that the transmitters enable only when the magnitude
of the supplies exceed approximately 3V.
.
5V/DIV
Capacitor Selection
The charge pumps require 0.1F, or greater, capacitors for
3.3V operation. With 0.1F capacitors, five percent tolerance
supplies (e.g., 3.14V minimum) deliver greater than 5V
transmitter swings at full data rate, while ten percent
tolerance supplies (e.g., 2.97V minimum) deliver 4.95V
transmitter swings. If greater than 5V transmitter swings
are required with a 10% tolerance 3.3V supply, 0.22F
capacitors are recommended (see Table 3). Existing 5V
applications typically utilize either 0.1F or 1F capacitors,
and the ICL32X7E works well with either value. New 5V
designs should use 0.22F capacitors for the best results.
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 two)

High Data Rates
The ICL32XX maintain the RS-232 5V minimum transmitter
output voltages even at high data rates. Figure 7 details a
transmitter loopback test circuit, and Figure 8 illustrates the
loopback test result at 120kbps. For this test, all transmitters
were simultaneously driving RS-232 loads in parallel with
1000pF, at 120kbps. Figure 9 shows the loopback results for
a single transmitter driving 1000pF and an RS-232 load at
250kbps. The static transmitters were also loaded with an
RS-232 receiver.

All pins on ICL32XX devices include ESD protection
structures, but the ICL32X7E incorporate advanced
structures which allow the RS-232 pins (transmitter outputs
and receiver inputs) to survive ESD events up to 15kV. The
RS-232 pins are particularly vulnerable to ESD damage
because they typically connect to an exposed port on the
exterior of the finished product. Simply touching the port
pins, or connecting a cable, can cause an ESD event that
might destroy unprotected ICs. These new ESD structures
protect the device whether or not it is powered up, protect
without allowing any latchup mechanism to activate, and
don’t interfere with RS-232 signals as large as 25V.
ICL3207E, ICL3217E
Human Body Model (HBM) Testing
As the name implies, this test method emulates the ESD
event delivered to an IC during human handling. The tester
delivers the charge through a 1.5k current limiting resistor,
making the test less severe than the IEC61000 test which
utilizes a 330 limiting resistor. The HBM method
determines an ICs ability to withstand the ESD transients
typically present during handling and manufacturing. Due to
the random nature of these events, each pin is tested with
respect to all other pins. The RS-232 pins on “E” family
devices can withstand HBM ESD events to 15kV.
IEC61000-4-2 Testing
The IEC61000 test method applies to finished equipment,
rather than to an individual IC. Therefore, the pins most likely
to suffer an ESD event are those that are exposed to the
outside world (the RS-232 pins in this case), and the IC is
tested in its typical application configuration (power applied)
rather than testing each pin-to-pin combination. The lower
current limiting resistor coupled with the larger charge
storage capacitor yields a test that is much more severe than
Typical Performance Curves
the HBM test. The extra ESD protection built into this
device’s RS-232 pins allows the design of equipment
meeting level 4 criteria without the need for additional board
level protection on the RS-232 port.
AIR-GAP DISCHARGE TEST METHOD
For this test method, a charged probe tip moves toward the
IC pin until the voltage arcs to it. The current waveform
delivered to the IC pin depends on approach speed,
humidity, temperature, etc., so it is difficult to obtain
repeatable results. The “E” device RS-232 pins withstand
15kV air-gap discharges.
CONTACT DISCHARGE TEST METHOD
During the contact discharge test, the probe contacts the
tested pin before the probe tip is energized, thereby
eliminating the variables associated with the air-gap
discharge. The result is a more repeatable and predictable
test, but equipment limits prevent testing devices at voltages
higher than 8kV. All “E” family devices survive 8kV contact
discharges on the RS-232 pins.
