SLLSET7C – MAY 2016 – REVISED MAY 2016
TRS3122E 1.8 V Low Power Dual RS-232 Transceiver
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TRS3122E is a two-driver and two-receiver RS232 interface device, with split supply pins for mixedvoltage operation. All RS-232 inputs and outputs are
protected to ±15 kV using the IEC 61000-4-2 Air-Gap
Discharge method, ±8 kV using the IEC 61000-4-2
Contact Discharge method, and ±15 kV using the
Human-Body Model.

Extended VCC operating nodes: 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or
5.0 V
– Unique Tripler Charge Pump Architecture
Enables Low VCC of 1.8V While Maintaining
Compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V Supplies
Integrated Level-Shifting Functionality Eliminates
the Need for External Power or Additional Level
Shifter While Interfacing with Low-Voltage MCUs
Enhanced ESD Protection on RIN Inputs and
DOUT Outputs
– ±15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge
– ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 Contact Discharge
– ±15 kV Human-Body Model
Specified 1000-kbps Data Rate
Auto Powerdown Plus Feature
Low 0.5uA Shutdown Supply Current
Meets or Exceeds Compatibility Requirements of
RS-232 Interface
For 2.5 V Single Supply Applications, Consider
TRS3318E as an Optimized Solution
The charge pump requires five small 0.1-μF
capacitors for operation from as low as a 1.8-V
supply. The TRS3122E is capable of running at data
rates up to 1000 kbps, while maintaining RS-232compatible output levels.
The TRS3122E has a unique VL pin that allows
operation in mixed-logic voltage systems. Both driver
in (DIN) and receiver out (ROUT) logic levels are pin
programmable through the VL pin. This eliminates the
need for additional voltage level shifter while
interfacing with low-voltage microcontrollers or
UARTs.
Auto Powerdown Plus automatically places the
device in a low power mode when the device has not
received or transmitted data for more than 30
seconds. This feature makes this device a very
attractive option for battery powered or other powersensitive applications.

Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the
specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
V+ and V– can have maximum magnitudes of 7 V, but their absolute difference cannot exceed 13 V.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TRS3122E is an upgrade to standard RS232 transceivers, offering compatibility with modern system needs
like 1.8-V GPIO capability, enhanced ESD & ultra low stand-by current. The majority of RS-232 transceivers with
1.8-V GPIO compatibility require a logic supply pin for the I/O translation, in addition to a minimum 3.3 V VCC for
all of the other active circuitry on the chip. Unlike these transceivers, TRS3122E can operate with both VL and
VCC equal to 1.8 V. When VCC= 3.0 V to 5.5 V, the charge pump will sense VCC and switch to doubler mode. C1
& C2 are the necessary flying capacitors, C3 is not needed, and the charge pump outputs V+ & V- will regulate
to ~+/-5.4 V. When VCC= 1.65 V to 2.0 V, the charge pump will sense VCC and switch to tripler mode. C1, C2 &
C3 are all necessary, and the charge pump outputs V+ & V- will regulate to ~+/-2.65*VCC from VCC= 1.65 V to 2.0
V.
With many modern applications expanding into products that use RS232 as a backup communication protocol, it
is important for the transceiver to have efficient standby operation. In order to accommodate this, Auto
Powerdown Plus has been integrated to shut-off all active circuitry, allowing TRS3122E to achieve an Ioff of 1 uA.
In order to comply with common interface system needs and environments, the RS-232 receive and transmit I/O
pins comply with IEC 61000-4-2 ratings.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Charge Pump
The internal power supply consists of a regulated auto-sensing charge pump that provides RS-232 compatible
output voltages, over the 1.65 V to 2.0 V and 3.0 V to 5.5 V VCC ranges. The charge pump operates in two
modes to efficiently accommodate low voltage (1.8 V) and higher voltage (3.3 V & 5.0 V) supplies.
8.3.1.1 Doubler Mode
The charge pump requires two flying capacitors (C1, C2) and reservoir capacitors (C4, C5) to generate the V+
and V- supplies of approximately ±5.4 V when VCC is greater than 3 V. When VCC is >2.9V, TRS3122E will sense
the supply voltage level and switch the charge pump to a doubler. Hence, no need for a third flying capacitor.
C3+ & C3- pins can be left open for proper operation. If a capacitor is placed between C3+ & C3-, the charge
pump will ignore this capacitor and still behave as a doubler.
For capacitor choice recommendations, please refer to Table 1.
8.3.1.2 Tripler Mode
The charge pump requires three flying capacitors (C1, C2 & C3) and reservoir capacitors (C4, C5) to generate
the V+ and V- supplies of approximately ±2.65 * VCC when VCC is greater than 1.65 V. When VCC is
