Notebooks
Laptops
Palmtop PCs
Hand-held equipment
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 TRSF3221E does not sense a valid
RS-232 signal on the receiver input, the driver output
is disabled. If FORCEOFF is set low and the enable
(EN) input 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. Auto-powerdown 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. See Figure 7-5 for receiver input levels.
Device Information
PART NUMBER
TRSF3221E
3 Description
The TRSF3221E consists of one line driver, one
line receiver, and a dual charge-pump circuit
with ±15-kV IEC ESD protection pin to pin
(serial-port connection pins, including GND). The
TRSF3221E 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. The TRSF3221E operates at data
signaling rates up to 1 Mbit/s and a driver output slew
rate of 24 V/μs to 150 V/μs.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TRSF3221E consists of one line driver, one line receiver, and a dual charge-pump circuit with ±15-kV IEC
ESD protection pin to pin (serial-port connection pins, including GND). The TRSF3221E 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. The TRSF3221E operates
at data signaling rates up to 1 Mbit/s and a driver output slew rate of 24 V/μs to 150 V/μs.
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 TRSF3221E does not sense a valid RS-232 signal on the receiver input, the driver output is disabled.
If FORCEOFF is set low and the enable (EN) input 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. Auto-powerdown 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.
Outputs are protected against shorts to ground.

8.3 Feature Description
The power block increases, inverts, and regulates voltage at V+ and V– pins using a charge pump that requires
four external capacitors. Auto-power-down feature for driver is controlled by FORCEON and FORCEOFF inputs.
Receiver is controlled by EN input. When MAX3221E is unpowered, it can be safely connected to an active
remote RS-232 device.
The driver interfaces the standard logic level to RS232 voltage levels. The DIN input must be valid high or low.
The receiver interfaces RS-232 levels to standard logic levels. An open input results in a high output on ROUT.
RIN input includes an internal standard RS-232 load. A logic high input on the EN pin shuts down the receiver
output.

9 Application and Implementation
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 TRSF3221E line driver and receiver is a specialized device for 3-V to 5.5-V RS-232 communication
applications. This application is a generic implementation of this device with all required external components.
For proper operation, add capacitors as shown in Table 9-1.
9.1.1 Typical Application
ROUT and DIN connect to UART or general purpose logic lines. FORCEON and FORCEOFFmay be connected
general purpose logic lines or tied to ground or VCC. INVALID may be connected to a general purpose logic
line or left unconnected. RIN and DOUT lines connect to a RS-232 connector or cable. DIN, FORCEON, and
FORCEOFF inputs must not be left unconnected.
