DESCRIPTION
The UTC UT3223 consists of 2 drivers and 2 receivers. It meets
ElA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 specifications, it intended for notebook
computer applications. A high-efficiency, dual charge-pumps power supply
and a low-dropout transmitter combine to deliver true RS-232 performance
from a single +3.0V~+5.5V power supply. A guaranteed data rate of
250kbps provides compatibility with popular software for communicating
with PCs.
The UTC UT3223 achieves 1µA supply current in shutdown condition.
When the UT3223 doesn’t detect a valid signal level on its receiver inputs,
the on-board power supply and drivers will shutdown, and when a valid
level is applied to any RS-232 receiver input, then the system turns on
again. Therefore, the system saves power without changes to the existing
BIOS or operating system.
The UTC UT3223 requires only 0.1µF capacitors in 3.3V operation, and
can operate from input voltages ranging from +3.0V ~+5.5V. It is ideal for
3.3V-only systems, 5.0V-only systems, or mixed 3.3V and 5.0V systems
that require true RS-232 performance.

UT3223

Preliminary
CMOS IC
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Charge-Pump Voltage Converter
The UTC UT3223 consists of a regulated dual charge pumps that provide output voltages of +5.5V and -5.5V,
regardless of the input voltage (VCC) changing from +3.0V to +5.5V.
The charge pumps operate in a discontinuous mode: if the output voltages are less than 5.5V, the charge pumps
are enabled; if the output voltages exceed 5.5V, the charge pumps are disabled.
Each charge pump requires a flying capacitor (C1, C2) and a reservoir capacitor (C3, C4) to generate the V+ and
V- supplies, refer to application circuit.
RS-232 Transmitters
UTC UT3223’s transmitters are inverting level translators that convert CMOS-logic levels to 5.0V EIA/TIA-232
levels. They guarantee a 250kbps data rate with worst-case loads of 3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF, providing
compatibility with PC-to-PC communication software.
Transmitters can be paralleled to drive multiple receivers or mouse. When FORCEOFF is driven to ground, or
shutdown circuitry senses invalid voltage levels at all receiver inputs, the transmitters are disabled and the outputs
are forced into a high-impedance state.
RS-232 Receivers
The UTC UT3223’s receivers convert RS-232 signals to CMOS-logic output levels. All receivers have one
inverting three-state output. In shutdown or in autoshutdown, the UT3223’s receivers are active. Drive EN high to
place the receiver in a high-impedance state.

Shutdown Function
A 1µA supply current is achieved with shutdown feature, which operates when FORCEON is low and
FORCEOFF is high. When the UTC UT3223 senses no valid signal levels on all receiver inputs for 30µs, the
on-board power supply and drivers are shut off, reducing supply current to 1µA. This occurs if the RS-232 cable is
disconnected or the connected peripheral transmitters are turned off. The system turns on again when a valid level is
applied to any RS-232 receiver input. As a result, the system saves power without changes to the existing BIOS or
operating system. INVALID indicates the receiver inputs’ condition, when using shutdown function, the INVALID
output is high when the device is on and low when the device is shut down.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION(Cont.)
Table 2 summarizes the UTC UT3223 operating modes. FORCEON and FORCEOFF override the automatic
circuitry and force the transceiver into its normal operating state or into its low-power standby state. When neither
control is asserted, the IC selects between these states automatically based on receiver input levels.

Fig.1 Shutdown Input Levels
When shutdown, the UTC UT3223’s charge pumps are turned off, V+ decays to VCC, V- decays to ground, the
transmitter outputs are disabled (high impedance). The time required to exit shutdown is typically 100µs.
