ICL3207E
±15kV ESD Protected, +3V to +5.5V, Low Power, 250kbps, RS-232
Transmitter/Receiver
The ICL3207E is a 3V to 5.5V powered RS-232
transmitter/receiver that meets ElA/TIA-232 and
V.28/V.24 specifications, even at VCC = 3.0V. The
ICL3207E features five transmitters and
three receivers. It provides ±15kV ESD protection
(IEC61000-4-2 Air Gap) and ±15kV Human Body
Model protection on transmitter outputs and receiver
inputs (RS-232 pins). Targeted applications are ISDN
Terminal Adapters (TAs), PDAs, Palmtops,
peripherals, and notebook and laptop computers
where the low operational power consumption and
even lower standby power consumption is critical.
Small footprint packaging and the use of small, low
value capacitors ensure board space savings. Data
rates greater than 250kbps are ensured at worst case
load conditions. The ICL3207E is fully compatible with
3.3V only systems, mixed 3.3V and 5V systems, and
5V only systems. The ICL3207E is a lower power,
pin-for-pin replacement for the MAX207E, HIN207E,
and HIN237E.
Table 1 summarizes the features of the ICL3207E.
AN9863 summarizes the features of each device in
the ICL32xxE 3V family.

4. Application Information
Application Information
The ICL3207E operates from a single +3V to +5.5V power supply, ensures a 250kbps minimum data rate,
requires only four small external 0.1µF capacitors, features low power consumption, and meets all ElA RS-232C
and V.28 specifications.
4.1
Charge Pump
The ICL3207E uses regulated on-chip dual charge pumps as voltage doublers. It uses voltage inverters to
generate ±5.5V transmitter supplies from a VCC supply as low as 3V. The charge pumps allow the ICL3207E to
maintain RS-232 compliant output levels over the ±10% tolerance range of 3.3V powered systems. The efficient
on-chip power supplies require only four small, external 0.1µF capacitors for the voltage doubler and inverter
functions at VCC = 3.3V. See “Capacitor Selection” on page 10 and Table 5 on page 10 for capacitor
recommendations for other operating conditions. The charge pumps operate discontinuously (turning off as soon
as the V+ and V- supplies are pumped up to the nominal values) and provide significant power savings.
4.1.1 Charge Pump Abs Max Ratings
The ICL3207E is fully characterized for 3.0V to 3.6V operation, and at critical points for 4.5V to 5.5V operation.
Furthermore, load conditions were favorable using static logic states only.
The specified maximum values for V+ and V- are +7V and -7V, respectively. These limits apply for VCC values set
to 3.0V and 3.6V (see Table 2). For VCC values set to 4.5V and 5.5V, the maximum values for V+ and V- can
approach +9V and -7V, respectively (Table 3 on page 9). The breakdown characteristics for V+ and V- were
measured with ±13V.

Transmitters
The transmitters are proprietary, low dropout, inverting drivers that translate TTL/CMOS inputs to EIA/TIA-232
output levels. The transmitters are coupled with the on-chip ±5.5V supplies to deliver true RS-232 levels across a
wide range of single supply system voltages.
The ICL3207E ensures a 250kbps data rate for full load conditions (3kΩ and 1000pF), VCC ≥ 3.0V, with one
transmitter operating at full speed. Under more typical conditions of VCC ≥ 3.3V, RL = 3kΩ, and CL = 250pF, one
transmitter easily operates at 800kbps.
Transmitter inputs float if they are unconnected and can cause ICC increases. Connect unused inputs to GND for
the best performance.

4. Application Information
Receivers
The ICL3207E has inverting receivers that convert RS-232 signals to CMOS output levels and accept inputs up to
±25V while presenting the required 3kΩ to 7kΩ input impedance (see Figure 5) even if the power is off
(VCC = 0V). The receivers’ Schmitt trigger input stage uses hysteresis to increase noise immunity and decrease
errors due to slow input signal transitions.
Receivers on the ICL3207E are always active.

Low Power Operation
The 3V ICL3207E requires a nominal supply current of 0.3mA, even at VCC = 5.5V, during normal operation. This
supply current is considerably less than the 11mA current required by comparable 5V RS-232 devices and allows
you to reduce system power by replacing the old style device with the ICL3207E.
4.4.1 Low Power, Pin Compatible Replacement
Pin compatibility with existing 5V products (such as the MAX207E), coupled with the wide operating supply range,
makes the ICL3207E a potential lower power, higher performance drop-in replacement for existing
5V applications. As long as the ±5V RS-232 output swings are acceptable, the ICL3207E works in most
5V applications.
When replacing a device in an existing 5V application, it is acceptable to terminate C3 to VCC as shown in the
“Typical Operating Circuit” on page 3. Terminate C3 to GND if possible, as slightly better performance results from
this configuration.
4.5
Capacitor Selection
The charge pumps require 0.1µF or greater capacitors for 3.3V operation. With 0.1µF capacitors, 5% tolerance
supplies (3.14V minimum) deliver greater than ±5V transmitter swings at full data rate. 10% tolerance supplies
(2.97V minimum) deliver ±4.95V transmitter swings. If greater than ±5V transmitter swings are required with a
10% tolerance 3.3V supply, 0.22µF capacitors are recommended (see Table 5). Existing 5V applications typically
use either 0.1µF or 1µF capacitors, and the ICL3207E works well with either value. New 5V designs should use
0.22µF capacitors for the best results. For other supply voltages, see Table 5 for capacitor values. Do not use
values smaller than those listed in Table 5. Increasing the capacitor values (by a factor of two) reduces ripple on
the transmitter outputs and slightly reduces power consumption. C2, C3, and C4 can be increased without
increasing C1’s value; however, do not increase C1 without also increasing C2, C3, and C4 to maintain the proper
ratios (C1 to the other capacitors).
When using minimum required capacitor values, make sure that capacitor values do not degrade excessively with
temperature. If in doubt, use capacitors with a larger nominal value. The capacitor’s Equivalent Series Resistance
(ESR) usually rises at low temperatures and it influences the amount of ripple on V+ and V-.

4. Application Information
Power Supply Decoupling
In most circumstances a 0.1µF bypass capacitor is adequate. In applications that are particularly sensitive to
power supply noise, decouple VCC to ground with a capacitor of the same value as the charge pump capacitor C1.
Connect the bypass capacitor as close as possible to the IC.
4.7
Operation Down to 2.7V
The ICL3207E transmitter outputs meet RS-562 levels (±3.7V) with VCC as low as 2.7V. RS-562 levels typically
ensure interoperability with RS-232 devices.
4.8
High Data Rates
The ICL3207E maintains the RS-232 ±5V minimum transmitter output voltages even at high data rates. Figure 6
shows a transmitter loopback test circuit, and Figure 7 shows the loopback test result at 120kbps. For this test, all
transmitters were simultaneously driving RS-232 loads in parallel with 1000pF, at 120kbps. Figure 8 shows the
loopback results for a single transmitter driving 1000pF and an RS-232 load at 250kbps. The static transmitters
were also loaded with an RS-232 receiver.

Interconnection with 3V and 5V Logic
The ICL3207E directly interfaces with 5V CMOS and TTL logic families. The AC, HC, and CD4000 outputs can
drive ICL3207E inputs with the ICL3207E at 3.3V and the logic supply at 5V, but the ICL3207E outputs do not
reach the minimum VIH for these logic families. See Table 6 for more information.

5. ±15kV ESD Protection
±15kV ESD Protection
All pins on ICL32xx devices include ESD protection structures, but the ICL32x7E incorporate advanced structures
that allow the RS-232 pins (transmitter outputs and receiver inputs) to survive ESD events up to ±15kV. The
RS-232 pins are particularly vulnerable to ESD damage because they typically connect to an exposed port on the
exterior of the finished product. Touching the port pins or connecting a cable can cause an ESD event that might
destroy unprotected ICs. The ESD structures protect the device whether or not it is powered up, protect without
allowing any latchup mechanism to activate, and do not interfere with RS-232 signals as large as ±25V.
5.1
Human Body Model (HBM) Testing
The Human Body Model (HBM) test method emulates the ESD event delivered to an IC during human handling.
The tester delivers the charge through a 1.5kΩ current limiting resistor, so the test is less severe than the
IEC61000 test, which utilizes a 330Ω limiting resistor. The HBM method determines an IC’s ability to withstand the
ESD transients typically present during handling and manufacturing. Due to the random nature of these events,
each pin is tested with respect to all other pins. The RS-232 pins on “E” family devices can withstand HBM ESD
events to ±15kV.
5.2
IEC61000-4-2 Testing
The IEC61000 test method applies to finished equipment, rather than to an individual IC. Therefore, the pins most
likely to suffer an ESD event are those that are exposed to the outside world (the RS-232 pins in this case), and
the IC is tested in its typical application configuration (power applied) rather than testing each pin-to-pin
combination. The lower current limiting resistor coupled with the larger charge storage capacitor yields a test that
is much more severe than the HBM test. The extra ESD protection built into this device’s RS-232 pins allows the
design of equipment meeting level 4 criteria without the need for additional board level protection on the RS-232
port.
5.3
Air-Gap Discharge Test Method
For the air-gap discharge test method, a charged probe tip moves toward the IC pin until the voltage arcs to it.
The current waveform delivered to the IC pin depends on approach speed, humidity, temperature, etc., so it is
difficult to obtain repeatable results. The “E” device RS-232 pins withstand ±15kV air-gap discharges.
5.4
Contact Discharge Test Method
During the contact discharge test, the probe contacts the tested pin before the probe tip is energized, thereby
eliminating the variables associated with the air-gap discharge. The result is a more repeatable and predictable
test, but equipment limits prevent testing devices at voltages higher than ±8kV. All “E” family devices survive ±8kV
contact discharges on the RS-232 pins.
