Low Power 3V to 5.5V 250Kbps RS232 Transceivers
Features
General Description
•
The ZT32xxE series devices are 3V powered EIA/TIA-232
and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces with low power
requirements. They consist of two line drivers, two line
receivers and the proprietary switch-capacitor regulated
voltage converters. The ZT3220E has a 1Tx and 1Rx
configuration. These devices operate from a single 3V to
5.5V power supply at the guaranteed data rate of 250K
bits/sec with enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD)
protection in all RS232 I/O pins exceeding ±15KV
EN61000-4-2 Air Gap Discharge and ±8KV EN61000-4-2

The ZT3221E and ZT3223E features the AUTOGREEN
(patent pending) proprietary function which automatically
powers down the on-chip regulated voltage converters and
driver circuits when an RS-232 cable is disconnected from
the host interface or when a connected peripheral device is
turned off.

Storage in a low humidity environment is preferred. Large
high density plastic packages are moisture sensitive and
should be stored in Dry Vapor Barrier Bags. Prior to usage,
the parts should remain bagged and stored below 40°C and
60%RH. If the parts are removed from the bag, they should
be used within 168 hours or stored in an environment at or
below 20%RH. If the above conditions cannot be followed,
the parts should be baked for 12 hours at 125°C in order to
remove moisture prior to soldering. ASIX ships product in Dry
Vapor Barrier Bags with a humidity indicator card and
desiccant pack. The humidity indicator should be below
30%RH. The MSL of this product is 3.

Low Power 3V to 5.5V 250Kbps RS232 Transceivers
4 Circuit Description
Proprietary Switch-Capacitor Regulated Voltage Converter
Different from other suppliers, ASIX uses a patent pending switch-capacitor voltage-controlled source and
sink current generators design to provide powerful bipolar voltages to maintain compliant EIA/RS232 levels
regardless of power supply fluctuations. The design consists of an internal regulated oscillator, a two phase
clock cycling, regulated complementary MOS switches, fast switching diode and switch capacitors.
The switch capacitor bi-directional current generators operate with ASIX’s proprietary smartly regulated
complementary MOS switches and fast switching diode from its proprietary high voltage process
technology. The efficiency of these bidirectional current generators is well over 70%. The switching
frequency is generated by an internal oscillator and regulated by the current loads. The switch capacitor
pump design delivers higher negative bucked voltage than the positive boosted voltage to achieve a
balanced voltage controlled source and sink current generators resulting a balanced bipolar voltage
supplies to the chip.
With its unique proprietary design technique, ASIX’s interface product series provide a better power
efficient, stable and compliant EIA/RS232 levels with superior low power consumption.
Controlled Power-Down
The ZT3220E, ZT3221E, ZT3222E, and ZT3223E have a low-power shutdown mode controlled by the
̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅
SHUTDOWN pin. During shutdown the driver output and the switch-capacitor regulated voltage converter
are disabled with the supply current falls to less than 1μA.
The ZT3221E and ZT3223E use ASIX’s patent pending ̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅̅
AUTOGREEN circuitry to set/reset latches, which
enable the circuit shutdown function when a RS232 cable is disconnected or when the peripheral is turned
off and reduce the power supply drain to a 1μA supply current. When a RS232 cable is connected or
when the peripheral is enabled, the devices will automatically become active again.
ESD Immunity
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) is an important factor when implementing a serial port into a system. In
some applications, it is crucial that the ESD protection for the system must meet a certain tolerance level.
Since RS232 transceiver devices are exposed to the outside world, there are many environmental factors
that can affect the serial port and even subject it to transients that could potentially damage the transceiver
itself.
The RS232 transceiver is usually routed from the serial port connector to the transceiver IC through the
metal trace on the printed circuit board. This trace will have some small amount of resistance that will add
some protection in terms of limiting transient current to the IC. However for added voltage protection,
transient voltage suppressors (TVS) or transzorbs, which are back-to-back diode arrays clamp, are usually
necessary to protect the serial port circuity.
To further reduce cost within their system, more engineers are requiring higher ESD tolerances from the
transceiver ICs themselves without having to add costly TVS circuitry. ASIX's RS232 transceivers includes
built-in transient voltage suppression where external ESD circuitry is not necessary to meet the MIL-STD883, Method 3015, Human Body Model and the EN61000-4-2 Air/Contact Discharge tests.

The Human Body Model has been the generally accepted ESD testing method for semiconductors. This
test is intended to simulate the human body’s potential to store electrostatic energy and discharge it to an
integrated circuit upon close proximity or contact. This method will test the IC’s capability to withstand an
ESD transient during normal handling such as in manufacturing areas where the ICs tend to be handled
frequently.
EN61000-4-2 is used for testing ESD on equipment and systems. For system manufacturers, they must
guarantee a certain amount of ESD protection since the system itself is exposed to the outside
environment and human presence. EN61000-4-2 specifies that the system is required to withstand an
amount of static electricity when ESD is applied to exposed metal points and surfaces of the equipment
that are accessible to personnel during normal usage. The transceiver IC receives most of the ESD current
when the ESD source is applied to the connector pins.
There are two methods within EN61000-4-2, the Air Discharge method and the Contact Discharge method.
With the Air Discharge Method, an ESD voltage is applied to the equipment under test through air, which
simulates an electrically charged person ready to connect a cable onto the rear of the system and the high
energy potential on the person discharges through an arcing path to the rear panel of the system before he
or she even touches the system. The Contact Discharge Method applies the ESD current directly to the
EUT. This method was devised to reduce the unpredictability of the ESD arc. The discharge current rise
time is constant since the energy is directly transferred without the air-gap arc inconsistencies.
ASIX's RS232 transceivers meets and exceeds the minimum criteria for EN61000-4-2 with ±15KV for Air
Gap Discharge and ±8KV for Contact Discharge.
