TC232* *Patented DUAL RS-232 TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER AND POWER SUPPLY FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The TC232 is a dual RS-232 transmitter/receiver that complies with EIA /TIA RS-232E guidelines and is ideal for all RS-232 communication links. This device operates from a 5V power supply and contains two charge pump voltage converters that produce ±10V power supplies. The TC232 has four level translators. Two are RS-232 transmitters that convert TTL/CMOS input levels to 9V RS-232 outputs. The other two translators are RS-232 receivers that convert RS-232 inputs to 5V TTL/CMOS output levels. The receivers have a nominal threshold of 1.3V, a typical hysteresis of 0.5V, and can operate with inputs up to ±30V.

DS21396A DUAL RS-232 TRANSMITTER/ RECEIVER AND POWER SUPPLY TC232 DETAILED DESCRIPTION V+, V– Output Voltages vs. Load Current The TC232 contains a +5V to ±10V dual charge pump voltage converter, a dual transmitter and a dual receiver. 10 V+ (VCC = 4.5V) 9 OUTPUT VOLTAGE (|V|) +5V to ±10V Dual Charge Pump Voltage Converter 8 V+ (VCC = 5V) The TC232 power supply consists of two charge pumps. One uses external capacitor C1 to double the +5V input to +10V, with output impedance of about 200Ω. The other uses C2 to invert +10V to – 10V, with overall output impedance of 450Ω (including effects of +5V to +10V doubler impedance). The clock in the doubler circuit will start at ≈4.2V in the typical part, but external loads may make this point rise to as high as 4.5V with a load of 2 kΩ on each of the two output voltages. Because of this, use of the doubler and inverter to run additional external circuits should be limited. The maximum current should be no more than 2.5 mA from the +10V and - 10V. in order to guarantee start-up of the doubler clock. The test circuit employs 22 µF capacitors for C1 to C4, but the value is not critical. These capacitors usually are lowcost aluminum or tantalum electrolytic capacitors. Increasing C1 and C2 to 47 µF lowers the output impedance of the +10V doubler and the - 10V inverter by the change in the ESR of the capacitors. Increasing C3 and C4 lowers ripple on the ±10V outputs and 16 kHz ripple on the RS-232 outputs. Where size is critical, the value of C1 to C4 can be lowered to 1 µF. The use of a low ESR capacitor will help lower the output ripple and keep the output impedance of the ±10V as low as possible. The outputs are protected and can be short-circuited to ground indefinitely.

Input impedance is between 3 kΩ and 7 kΩ. Switching thresholds are within the ±3V limits, and the receivers withstand up to ±30V inputs. RS-232 and TTL/CMOS input compatible, the receivers have 0.8V VIL and 2.4V VIH with 0.5V hysteresis to reject noise. The TTL/CMOS compatible receiver output is LOW when an RS-232 input is greater than 2.4V. It is HIGH when an input is floating or between +0.8V and – 30V. TC232 transmitters are CMOS inverters driven by ±10V internally-generated voltages. The input is TTL/CMOS compatible, with a logic threshold of about 26% of VCC (1.3V for 5V VCC). The input of an unused transmitter can be left unconnected, since an internal 400 kΩ pull-up resistor connected between the transmitter input and VCC pulls the input HIGH and forces the unused transmitter output to the LOW state. With VCC at 5V, the outputs will go from (V+ – 0.6V) to V– with no load and will swing ±9V when loaded with 3 kΩ. The minimum output voltage swing, with VCC at 4.5V and at maximum ambient temperature, is ±5V. This conforms to RS-232 specifications for "worst-case" conditions. EIA/TIA RS-232E specs limit the slew rate at output to less than 30V/µs. The powered-down output impedance (VCC = 0V) is a minimum of 300Ω with ±2V applied to outputs. © 2001 Microchip Technology Inc. 7 +4.5V TO +5.5V INPUT TC232 C1 + 22 µF 22 µF + 1 + C1 V CC 16 2 V+ GND 15 3 – C1 T1OUT 14 4 + C2 R1IN 13 5 – C2 R1OUT 12 6 V– T1 IN 11 TTL/CMOS INPUT 7 T2 OUT T2 IN 10 TTL/CMOS INPUT 8 R2 IN C3 C2 22 µF + + RS-232 OUTPUT C4 22 µF 3 kΩ 3 kΩ R2OUT 9 RS-232 OUTPUT RS-232 INPUT ±30V TTL/CMOS OUTPUT TTL/CMOS OUTPUT RS-232 INPUT ±30V 3 TC232-6 10/21/96 DUAL RS-232 TRANSMITTER/ RECEIVER AND POWER SUPPLY TC232 PACKAGE DIMENSIONS 16-Pin Plastic DIP PIN 1 .260 (6.60) .240 (6.10) .310 (7.87) .290 (7.37) .770 (19.56) .745 (18.92) .200 (5.08) .140 (3.56) .040 (1.02) .020 (0.51) .150 (3.81) .115 (2.92) .015 (0.38) .008 (0.20) 3° MIN. .400 (10.16) .310 (7.87) .110 (2.79) .090 (2.29) .070 (1.78) .045 (1.14) .022 (0.56) .015 (0.38) 16-Pin CerDIP PIN 1 .300 (7.62) .245 (6.22) .030 (0.76) MIN. .080 (2.03) MAX. .780 (19.81) .740 (18.80) .320 (8.13) .290 (7.37) .040 (1.02) .020 (0.51) .200 (5.08) .160 (4.06) .150 (3.81) MIN. .200 (5.08) .125 (3.18) .110 (2.79) .090 (2.29) .065 (1.65) .045 (1.14) 3° MIN. .400 (10.16) .320 (8.13) .020 (0.51) .016 (0.41) 4 TC232-6 10/21/96 .015 (0.38) .008 (0.20) Dimensions: inches (mm) © 2001 Microchip Technology Inc.
