3 Description
The TRS3221E is a single driver, single receiver
RS-232 solution operating from a single VCC supply.
The RS-232 pins provide IEC G1000-4-2 ESD
protection. The device meets the requirements of
TIA/EIA-232-F and provides the electrical interface
between an asynchronous communication controller
and the serial-port connector. The charge pump and
four small external capacitors allow operation from a
single 3-V to 5.5-V supply. These devices operate at
data signaling rates up to 250 kbit/s and a maximum
of 30-V/μs driver output slew rate.
Flexible control options for power management are
available when the serial port is inactive. The autopowerdown 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 on the receiver input, the driver output is
disabled. If FORCEOFF is set low and EN is high,
both the driver and receiver are shut off, and the
supply current is reduced to 1 μA. Disconnecting
the serial port or turning off the peripheral drivers
causes the auto-powerdown condition to occur. Autopowerdown can be disabled when FORCEON and
FORCEOFF are high.
With auto-powerdown enabled, the device is activated
automatically when a valid signal is applied to the
receiver input. The INVALID output notifies the user
if an RS-232 signal is present at the receiver input.
INVALID is high (valid data) if the receiver input
voltage is greater than 2.7 V or less than –2.7 V, or
has been between –0.3 V and 0.3 V for less than 30
μs. INVALID is low (invalid data) if the receiver input
voltage is between –0.3 V and 0.3 V for more than 30
μs. Refer to Figure 7-5 for receiver input levels.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TRS3221E device is a one-driver and one-receiver RS-232 interface device. The RS-232 input and output
are protected up to ±15 kV using the Human-Body Model. The charge pump requires only four small 0.1-μF
capacitors for operation from a 3.3-V supply. The TRS3221E device is capable of running at data rates up to 250
kbps while maintaining RS-232-compliant output levels.
Automatic power down can be disabled when FORCEON and FORCEOFF are high. With automatic power down
plus enabled, the device activates automatically when a valid signal is applied to any receiver input. The device
can automatically power down the driver to save power when the RIN input is unpowered.
INVALID is high (valid data) if receiver input voltage is greater than 2.7 V or less than –2.7 V, or has been
between –0.3 V and 0.3 V for less than 30 μs. INVALID is low (invalid data) if receiver input voltages are
between –0.3 V and 0.3 V for more than 30 μs. Refer to Figure 7-5 for receiver input levels.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Power
The power block increases, inverts, and regulates voltage at V+ and V– pins using a charge pump that requires
four external capacitors. The automatic power-down feature for the driver is controlled by FORCEON and
FORCEOFF inputs. The receiver is controlled by the EN input (see Table 8-1 and Table 8-2).
When the device is unpowered, it can be safely connected to an active remote RS232 device.
8.3.2 RS232 Driver
One driver interfaces standard logic level to RS232 levels. DIN input must be valid high or low.
8.3.3 RS232 Receiver
One receiver interfaces RS232 levels to standard logic levels. An open input results in a high output on ROUT.
RIN input includes an internal standard RS232 load. A logic high input on the EN pin shuts down the receiver
output.
8.3.4 RS232 Status
The INVALID output goes low when RIN input is unpowered for more than 30 μs. The INVALID output goes high
when the receiver has a valid input. The INVALID output is active when Vcc is powered regardless of FORCEON
and FORCEOFF inputs (see Table 8-3).

9 Application Information Disclaimer
Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,
and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for
determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The TRS3221E device is designed to convert single-ended signals into RS232-compatible signals, and RS232compatible signals into single-ended signals.
This device can be used in any application where an RS232 line driver or receiver is required. One benefit of this
device is its ESD protection, which helps protect other components on the board when the RS232 lines are tied
to a physical connector
