A DC/DC converter Block is a circuit to boost VCC to VDD/VSS to generate the necessary voltage level for RS-232 communication by fast switching with external capacitors. It has a Double Boosting Mode and Triple Boosting Mode to use single power supply either voltage with 5 V or 3.3 V as specific function of µPD472X Series. RS-232 communication, which requires positive and negative power supplies even with a single voltage of 5 V or 3.3 V, can be achieved by integrating this circuit with an RS-232 line driver/receiver.

When the voltage of the power supply used is lowered (5 V → 3 V), it can be switched even when the power is turned on.

If an input pin is left open, through current flows due to CMOS-specific characteristics. Therefore, open pins should be treated as follows. Pin Name ★ STBY Note Pull-up or Pull-down Resistor None Handling of Open Pin Fix to “H” or “L” level. VCHA EN DIN Active pull-up resistor (up to 300 kΩ) Even if the input is open, the input becomes “H” and the output becomes “L.” RIN Pull-down resistor (5.5 kΩ) Even if the input is open, the input becomes “L” and the output becomes “H.” A pull-up resistor is connected to the DIN pin so that the input potential is fixed even it is opened. This pull-up resistor is an active resistor whose resistance becomes higher when the input potential is low and becomes lower when the input potential is high (refer to 8. TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS). Therefore, when the input voltage is L, the current passed through the pull-up resistor is 25 µA MAX., and the power dissipation due to the input current is negligibly low. Also, fix the DIN pin open or to H to minimize the power dissipation in Standby (STBY = L). At this time, the input current is 1 µA or lower, and the power dissipation due to the input current through pull-up resistor is minimized. Note µPD4726 has a pull-down resistor in STBY pin. Therefore, when the input of µPD4726 is open, the input becomes “L” and the operation mode is standby. 24 User’s Manual S13354EJ3V0UM 7. NOTES FOR USE The following items are general notes for using ICs for RS-232 line driver/receivers. They are common between the µPD471X Series and the µPD472X Series unless otherwise specified. Power block • If VCC is unstable, the on-chip DC/DC converter circuit may not properly operate. Therefore, it is recommended to connect a bypass capacitor (approximately 0.1 to 1 µF) between VCC and GND. • Since VDD and VSS are output pins and their voltages are boosted up by the internal DC/DC converter circuit, do not feed or take out current to/from these pins (such as connecting any load). If any load is connected to these pins, the on-chip DC/DC converter circuit may not properly operate (refer to 12.2 Characteristics of Boosting Circuit in 12. Q&A for typical characteristics). Pin treatment • Fix all pins for control input (such as DCON, RCON, and STBY pins) to High or Low, if no pull-down resistor is connected to them. • If a driver input pin is open, through current may flow. Fix all unconnected driver input pins to High or Low (for µPD471X Series). • Ensure that voltage over rated voltage such as surge is not impressed to receiver input pins. If there is a possibility that the voltage higher than rated voltage is applied, it is recommended to connect an external protection circuit (refer to 12.5 Reliability in 12. Q&A for a typical application). Selection of external capacitors • Tantalum, aluminum electrolytic, and ceramic capacitors can be used for external capacitors for on-chip DC/DC converters. Since they are repeatedly charged and discharged by internal switching, use capacitors with better frequency characteristics. • It is recommended to apply capacitors with a capacitance range of 4.7 to 47 µF (for the µPD471X Series, excepting the µPD4711B with capacitance range of 1 to 47 µF) and 0.33 to 4.7 µF (for the µPD472X Series, excepting µPD4722 with capacitance range of 0.47 to 4.7 µF). Determine appropriate capacitance within these ranges after evaluating with the actual product circuit. Note that the capacitance of electrolytic capacitors is lowered in low temperatures. Therefore, determine the capacitance of such capacitors with some margin taking into account the operating temperature. • If only 5-V Mode (VCHA =“L” and VCC = 5 V) is used, it is not necessary to connect the C5 capacitor. In this case, the C5 pin should be left open (for µPD472X Series). User’s Manual S13354EJ3V0UM 25 8. TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS The main characteristics of the µPD4722 as a representative product for RS-232 line driver/receivers are shown below. • Driver Input Characteristics The characteristics of a pull-up resistor (active resistor) at a driver input pin are shown below.

This standard is generally called RS-232-C. The official name of the standard is now “EIA/TIA-232-E”, but “RS-232-C” is used in this document, as this term is widely used. RS-232-C specifies electrical specifications, types of signal cables and connector specifications, and is originally referred as an interface standard to connect modems and data pins (such as PC) to each other. The main characteristics of RS-232-C are shown below. Characteristics of driver block Item Standard Value Unit Data transfer rate MAX.: 20 kbps Output voltage MAX.: ±15 (Unloaded) V Output voltage MIN.: ±5 (3 kΩ) V Slew rate MAX.: 30 V/ns Characteristics of receiver block Item Standard Value Unit Note Load capacitance MAX.: 2500 Threshold voltage MAX.: ±3 V Input resistance 3 to 7 kΩ Input voltage MAX.: ±25 V pF Note Load capacitance is determined by type and length of signal cable and others, however, cable length is not specified in the standard. 9.2 Signal Level Signal levels are specified in the RS-232-C standard. Low High Status Voltage level Logical level Driver output Receiver input Driver output Receiver input –5 to –15 V –3 to –25 V +5 to +15 V +3 to +25 V “1” (Mark level) “0” (Space level) The signal levels in the cable are in negative logic, reversed from logical level, in the table above. Therefore, an inverter must be inserted for a driver to output signals to the cable and a receiver must be inserted to input signals from the cable to match the internal logic (this is the role of ICs for RS-232 line driver/receivers). Since there is a potential difference (2 V) between the driver output voltage and receiver input voltage, a noise margin or magnitude drop of up to 2 V is allowed. 32 User’s Manual S13354EJ3V0UM 9.3 Basics of RS-232-C Communication The typical waveforms of 8-bit data transfer are shown below. “1” PC “0” Space Cable Mark Modem “1” “0” Start Bit Stop Bit Start Bit Stop Bit Start Bit Stop Bit The following is defined in RS-232C communication. No Transfer (Idle) : Mark (“1”) Transfer Start (Start Bit): Space (“0”) Transfer Stop (Stop Bit) : Mark (“1”) Transfer steps are as follows: (1) In the Idle state, send Start Bit to start transfer. (2) After data transfer is completed, send Stop Bit to stop transfer. (3) If succeeding data is transferred, send Start Bit after Stop Bit again to transfer the data. The Idle state must be set for periods during which no data is transferred. User’s Manual S13354EJ3V0UM 33 10.

REVISION HISTORY OF PRODUCTS The revision history of the µPD471X Series is shown below. Current part numbers are equivalent to discontinued part numbers on package, pin configurations, and characteristics. Therefore, customers who have been using discontinued part numbers of the µPD471X Series can use current products without modification of board circuits etc. However, operation checks for actual applications are necessary, because actual characteristics may differ.

The revision history of the µPD472X Series is shown below. Current products are designed so as to raise the driven output performance, and as a result, the MIN. capacitance value for external capacitors is smaller. This reduction in capacitor capacitance may enable reduction of the circuit set size.

How is the DCON pin actually used? (µPD471X Series) A. Idle state (No Transfer) is defined as Mark Level (“L” Output) in the RS-232 Standard. If driver input of the µPD471X may be unstable even if it is in Normal Operation Mode (not Standby), it can be fixed to Idle state making driver output level at Mark Level, using the DCON pin. This function can prevent output of abnormal signal (such as mis-recognition of the signal as Start Bit). (Refer to 6.1.2 Driver output logic.) Q. How is the RCON pin actually used? (µPD471X Series) A. The space level voltage range is specified from –25 V to –3 V and the mark level voltage range is specified from +3 V to +25 V in the RS-232 Standard. Therefore, strictly speaking, the logic level is undefined when the cable signal is 0 V. The input threshold voltage of the µPD471X Series can be switched using the RCON pin. The product has an A Mode, whereby the threshold voltage is set in positive, and a B Mode, whereby the threshold voltage is set in negative in order to prevent erroneous operations even if a 0-V signal is input. If a signal with higher noise is input, a malfunction due to the smaller hysteresis width of A Mode occurs. In this case, B Mode must be used. However, if a DC signal is output in a case such as when a control signal is transferred, signals of TTL level (0 to +5 V) may be easily handled. In this case, set the threshold voltage to the A mode so that signals can be ;;;;;;; ;;;;;;; recognized. As described above, various signals can be flexibly handled by switching input threshold voltage depending on the purpose. The threshold voltage range is shown below. (Refer to 6.1.4 Receiver input threshold voltage.) Receiver input threshold voltage range A Mode B Mode 5V 0V –5V Shaded part indicates range of threshold voltage. Q. How is the EN pin actually used? (µPD472X Series) A. The products of the µPD472X Series (except for the µPD4721) have a mode by which receiver input can be accepted even if it is in the Standby state. This function allows the device to use the Wake-up function, which enables operation by receiving signals from the cable. However, the receiver with the EN pin enabled has no hysteresis width in the Standby mode (the threshold voltage is typically 1.5 V). In this case, it is recommended to apply a filter circuit to prevent erroneous operation due to noise. (Refer to 6.2.3 Receiver output logic.) 36 User’s Manual S13354EJ3V0UM 12.2 Characteristics of Boosting Circuit Q. Receiver input threshold voltage exceeds the rated value. A. VDD and VSS boosted by the internal DC/DC converter circuit are used for the receiver input threshold voltage. Therefore, the cause of abnormal receiver input threshold voltage may be erroneous operation of the DC/DC converter circuit. Refer to Q. Voltage not boosted in 12.2 Characteristics of Boosting Circuit for measures to address improper operation of the DC/DC converter circuit. Q. How long does it take for the DC/DC converter to switch? + – + – A. Switching time can be determined by measuring C1 , C1 , C4 , and C4 with an oscilloscope or other device. It is designed so that the switching time is approximately 5 µs. However, the switching time is fairly changed depending on dispersions of internal Cs and Rs which determine the time constant. Dispersion of approximately half to double of the designed value should be taken into account. Q. Can any current be taken out from the boosted power pins (VDD and VSS)? A. The boosted power pins are voltage output pins with voltages internally boosted. They are used for driver output, setting of receiver input threshold voltage or others. Therefore, do not directly connect any loads to these pins. Just for reference, a typical characteristic when current is taken out from the VDD pin of the µPD4721 is shown in the figure below. (Refer to 7. NOTES FOR USE.) A typical characteristic of VDD vs. Takeout Current when current is taken out from VDD (Conditions: TA = 25°C, VCC = 3.3 V, C1 to C5 = 0.33 µF, DOUT Full Load RL = 3 kΩ) 8.20 8.15 8.10 VDD (V) 8.05 8.00 7.95 7.90 7.85 7.80 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 Current (µA) User’s Manual S13354EJ3V0UM 37 Q. Are there any problems if two ICs are used with one common capacitor? A. DC/DC converters in the µPD471X Series and µPD472X Series are not designed expecting that two circuits are used with one common capacitor. In addition, because switching timings of capacitors cannot be externally synchronized, expected boosting operation cannot be achieved. Always use one capacitor for a single IC. Q. Voltage not boosted. A. There are several causes. Refer to the following measures. 1. Noise is superposed on the power supply pin. → Connect a bypass capacitor between VCC and GND for stabilizing. Locate the capacitor in the vicinity of the VCC pin to minimize the wiring length. 2. External voltage is applied to the driver output pin before the power is turned on. → Internal DC/DC converter circuit may not boost the voltage, if other voltage is applied to the driver output pin from external circuit before the power is turned on. Even if a different voltage within the rated value range is applied to the driver output pins, there is no operational problem if the IC is in operation. However, for functionality purposes, this IC is not designed expecting that another voltage will be applied to the driver output pins from an external circuit. Therefore, ensure that any other voltage is not applied to driver output pins from an external circuit. 12.3 External Capacitors Q. What is the withstand voltage of external capacitors? A. As specified in the data sheet, the following capacitors with specified withstand voltages are recommended. Series Withstand Voltage of External Capacitor µPD471X 16 V µPD472X 20 V A maximum of 10 V is theoretically applied to an external capacitor as specified in the table in DC/DC converter block in Sections 6.1.1 and 6.2.1. However, since noise may be generated at switching, voltages with some margins (16 V or 20 V) are recommended. Q. What will happen if capacitors with polarity such as Tantalum capacitor are connected in reversed polarity? A. If a capacitor with polarity is connected in the opposite direction from the connection diagram, the capacitor may be shorted. Connect capacitors based on the connection diagram when connecting capacitors with polarity. If the capacitor is shorted, refer to the next item “Q. Is the IC damaged if the capacitor is shorted?” Q. Is the IC damaged if the capacitor is shorted? A. High current may flow between VDD and VCC or between VCC and GND if the capacitor is shorted. This high current may destroy the capacitor. Absolute maximum rating of the input current on each pin of the µPD472X Series is specified as ±20 mA. Therefore, excessive current over this value may destroy capacitors. 38 User’s Manual S13354EJ3V0UM 12.4 Transfer Rate Q. Is the operation guaranteed when using a maximum transfer rate of 115 kbps? A. The maximum transfer rate of the µPD471X Series and µPD472X Series is specified as 20 kbps. Therefore, their operation is not guaranteed with a transfer rate over 20 kbps. The actual transfer rate depends on the driver output load (such as signal cable length). If they are used for applications with a lower load, such as when the cable length is extremely short, transfer with rate of over 20 kbps is potentially possible. For your reference, actually measured values of slew rate and driver output voltage vs. transfer rate are shown on the following pages.

What is ESD withstand voltage? A. These series have passed the ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) test (MIL Method, ESD Test by EIAJ Method) defined by NEC Electronics. Confirm the measured values in the ESD test by obtaining the Result Report of Reliability Testing. Request it from Reliability and Quality Control Dept. through your NEC Electronics sales representative. Q. How are ESD protection circuits configured? A. A protection circuit for the driver output block can be configured with a combination of Zener diodes. A sample circuit for protection is shown below. VZ of the Zener diodes should be lower than the rated voltage of the driver output (25 V) and higher than the output voltage (up to 10 V). (Refer to 7. NOTES FOR USE.) Example of ESD Protection Circuit µ PD471X and µ PD472X DIN DOUT Zener diode Output voltage (10 V) < VZ < 25 V Q. What will happen if driver outputs of the transfer source and the transfer destination conflict with each other? A. Over current between outputs may flow depending on the status of their driver outputs. For example, if the output of source is “H” and the output of destination is “L”, a high current flows from the source driver to the destination driver. In this case, the internal DC/DC converter may not be able to properly boost the voltage, and erroneous operation may result. Therefore, do not connect driver output pins to each other. 42 User’s Manual S13354EJ3V0UM 12.6 Marking, Packages and Others Q. Give me information on current marking. A.
