STMicroelectronics Transceivers IC ST3243EBTR 3/5 Transceiver Full RS232 28-TSSOP

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The ST3243E device consists of 3 drivers, 5 receivers and a dual charge-pump circuit. The device meets the requirements of EIA/TIA and V.28/V.24 communication standards providing high data rate capability and enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver input are protected to ± 8 kV USING IEC 1000-4-2 contact discharge and ± 15 kV using the human body model. The receiver R2 is always active to implement a wake-up feature for serial port.

The ST3243E has a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage enabling true RS-232 performance from a 3.0 V to 5.5 V supply with a dual charge pump. The device is guaranteed to run at data rates of 250 kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels.

The auto power-down feature functions when FORCEON is low and FORCEOFF is high. During this mode of operation, if the device does not sense a valid RS-232 signal, the driver outputs are disabled. If FORCEOFF is set low, both drivers and receivers (expert R2B) are shut off, and supply current is reduced to 1 µA.

Disconnecting the serial port or turning off the peripheral drives causes the auto power-down condition to occur. Auto power-down can be disabled when FORCEON and FORCEOFF are high, and should be done when driving a serial mouse. With auto power-down enabled, the device is activated automatically when a valid signal is applied to any receiver input. Typical application are in notebook, subnotebook, palmtop computers, battery-powered equipment, handheld equipment, peripherals and printers.
