TRS3232E 3-V to 5.5-V Multichannel RS-232 Line Driver and Receiver
With ±15-kV IEC ESD Protection In Small Package
1 Features
3 Description
•
The TRS3232E device consists of two line drivers,
two-line receivers, and a dual charge-pump circuit
with ±15-kV IEC ESD protection pin to pin (serial-port
connection pins, including GND).
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
ESD protection for RS-232 bus pins
– ±15 kV (HBM)
– ±8 kV (IEC61000-4-2, Contact discharge)
– ±15 kV (IEC61000-4-2, Air-gap discharge)
Meets or exceeds the requirements of TIA/
EIA-232-F and ITU V.28 standards
Operates with 3-V to 5.5-V VCC supply
– Interoperable with RS-232 down to 2.7-V VCC
Operates up to 250 kbps
Two drivers and two receivers
Low supply current: 300 μA (typical)
External capacitors: 4 × 0.1 μF
Accepts 5-V logic input with 3.3-V supply
Available in near chip-scale package (QFN-16, 3
mm x 3 mm), 85% smaller than SOIC-16
Pin compatible to alternative high-speed devices
(1 Mbps)
– SN65C3232E (–40°C to +85°C)
– SN75C3232E (0°C to 70°C)
The device meets the requirements of TIA/EIA-232F 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. The devices operate at data signaling
rates up to 250 kbps and a maximum of 30-V/μs
driver output slew rate.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TRS3232E device consists of two line drivers, two-line receivers, and a dual charge-pump circuit with
IEC61000-4-2 ESD protection terminal to terminal (serial-port connection terminals, including GND). 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. The device operates at data signaling rates up to 250 kbps
and a maximum of 30-V/μs driver output slew rate. Outputs are protected against shorts to ground.

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.
8.3.2 RS232 Driver
Two drivers interface standard logic level to RS232 levels. Both DIN inputs must be valid high or low.
8.3.3 RS232 Receiver
Two receivers interface RS232 levels to standard logic levels. An open input will result in a high output on ROUT.
Each RIN input includes an internal standard RS232 load.

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 TRS3232E interfaces logic lines from a UART or microcontroller to the voltage and current levels needed for
RS232 communication. The TIN inputs will accept 5-V logic with 3.3-V VCC supply. All baud rates up to 250-kbps
are supported.
It is important to use the correct capacitors for the VCC voltage. This will reduce ripple voltage on the TOUT
outputs. If only one driver is needed, the unused driver input should be connected to VCC or ground.
9.2 Typical Application
ROUT and DIN connect to UART or general-purpose logic lines. RIN and DOUT lines connect to a RS232
connector or cable. For proper operation, add capacitors as shown in Table 9-1.

9.2.1 Design Requirements
The recommended VCC is 3.3 V or 5 V. 3 V to 5.5 V is also possible.
The maximum recommended bit rate is 250 kbps.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
All DIN inputs must be connected to valid low or high logic levels.
Select capacitor values based on VCC level for best performance.
