Datasheet
ICL3238E
±15kV ESD Protected, +3V to +5.5V, 10nA, 250kbps, RS-232 Transceiver with
Enhanced Automatic Powerdown
The ICL3238E contains 3.0V to 5.5V powered
RS-232 transmitters/receivers that meet ElA/TIA-232
and V.28/V.24 specifications, even at VCC = 3.0V. It
provides ±15kV ESD protection (IEC61000-4-2 Air
Gap and Human Body Model) on transmitter outputs
and receiver inputs (RS-232 pins). Targeted
applications are cell phones, Palmtops, and data
cables in which the low operational power
consumption and even lower standby power
consumption is critical. Efficient on-chip charge
pumps coupled with manual and enhanced automatic
powerdown functions reduce the standby supply
current to a 10nA trickle. 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
and provide compatibility with popular PC
communication software.
The ICL3238E is a five driver, three receiver device
optimized for DCE applications with full hardware
handshaking. It includes a noninverting, always-active
receiver for RING INDICATOR monitoring.
The ICL3238E features an enhanced automatic
powerdown function that powers down the on-chip
power-supply and driver circuits. Automatic
powerdown occurs when all receiver and transmitter
inputs detect no signal transitions for a period of 30s.
The ICL3238E automatically powers back up
whenever it senses a transition on any transmitter or
receiver input.
The transmitter and logic inputs include active
feedback resistors that retain the input state when
driven to a valid logic level.

Pin
Function
FORCEOFF
Active low to shut down transmitters and on-chip power supply. This pin overrides any automatic circuitry and FORCEON
(see Table 5, Note 6).
FORCEON
Active high input to override automatic powerdown circuitry, which keeps transmitters active (FORCEOFF must be high,
Note 6).
Note:
6. These input pins incorporate positive feedback resistors. When the input is driven to a valid logic level, the feedback resistor maintains
that logic level until VCC is removed. Unused transmitter inputs can remain unconnected.

4. Application Information
Application Information
The ICL3238E operates from a single +3V to +5.5V supply, ensures a 250kbps minimum data rate, requires only
four small external 0.1µF (0.22µF for VCC = 3.0V) capacitors, features low power consumption, and meets all
EIA/TIA-232 and V.28 specifications.
4.1
Charge Pump
The ICL32xxE family uses regulated on-chip dual charge pumps as voltage doublers, and voltage inverters to
generate ±5.5V transmitter supplies from a VCC supply as low as 3.0V. The charge pumps allow these devices 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 “Enhanced Automatic Powerdown” on page 15 and Table 6 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 ICL3238E 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 11). 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 transmitter outputs disable and assume a high impedance state when the device enters the powerdown
mode (see Table 5 on page 12). The outputs can be driven to ±12V when disabled.
All devices ensure 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 1Mbps.
The transmitter inputs incorporate an active positive feedback resistor that maintains the last driven input state in
the absence of a forcing signal. Unused transmitter inputs can remain unconnected.
4.3
Receivers
The ICL3238E contains both standard inverting, three-state receivers and a single noninverting (monitor) receiver
(denoted by the ROUTB label) that is always active, regardless of the state of any control lines. Both receiver types
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 on page 12) 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.
The inverting receivers disable during forced (manual) powerdown, but not during automatic powerdown (see
Table 5).

Conversely, the monitor receiver remains active even during manual powerdown, so it is extremely useful for
RING INDICATOR monitoring. Standard receivers driving powered down peripherals must be disabled to prevent
current flow through the peripheral’s protection diodes (see Figures 6 and 7). Disabling the receivers prevents
them from being used for wake up functions, but the corresponding monitor receiver can be dedicated to this task
as shown in Figure 7.

Operation Down to 2.7V
The ICL3238E transmitter outputs meet RS-562 levels (±3.7V), at full data rate with VCC as low as 2.7V. RS-562
levels typically ensure interoperability with RS-232 devices.
4.5
Powerdown Functionality
The ICL3238E requires a nominal supply current of 0.3mA during normal operation (not in powerdown mode).
This supply current is considerably less than the 5mA to 11mA current required by 5V RS-232 devices. The
already low current requirement drops significantly when the device enters powerdown mode. In powerdown,
supply current drops to 10nA because the on-chip charge pump turns off (V+ collapses to VCC, V- collapses to
GND), and the transmitter outputs tri-state. This micro-power mode makes the ICL3238E ideal for battery
powered and portable applications.
4.5.1 Software Controlled (Manual) Powerdown
The ICL3238E allows you to force the IC into the low power standby state, and uses a two pin approach where the
FORCEON and FORCEOFF inputs determine the IC’s mode. For always enabled operation, FORCEON and
FORCEOFF are both strapped high. Under logic or software control, only the FORCEOFF input needs to be
driven to switch between active and powerdown modes. The FORCEON state is not critical because FORCEOFF
overrides FORCEON. However, if strictly manual control over powerdown is needed, you must strap FORCEON
high to disable the enhanced automatic powerdown circuitry. The ICL3238E inverting (standard) receiver outputs
also disable when the ICL3238E is in manual powerdown. The disabled receiver outputs eliminate the possible
current path through a shutdown peripheral’s input protection diode (see Figures 6 and 7).
Connecting FORCEOFF and FORCEON together disables the enhanced automatic powerdown feature and
enables them to function as a manual SHUTDOWN input (see Figure 9 on page 14).
4.5.2 INVALID Output
Table 5 shows that the INVALID output always indicates whether 30µs have elapsed with invalid RS-232 signals
persisting on all of the receiver inputs (see Figures 8 and 12). The indicator provides an easy way to determine
when the interface block should power down. Invalid receiver levels occur whenever the driving peripheral’s
outputs are shut off (powered down) or when the RS-232 interface cable is disconnected. If an interface cable is
disconnected and all the receiver inputs are floating (but pulled to GND by the internal receiver pull down
resistors), the INVALID logic detects the invalid levels and drives the output low. The power management logic
then uses this indicator to power down the interface block. Reconnecting the cable restores valid levels at the
receiver inputs, INVALID switches high, and the power management logic wakes up the interface block. INVALID
can also be used to indicate the DTR or RING INDICATOR signal as long as the other receiver inputs are floating,
or driven to GND (as in the case of a powered down driver).

With any of the above control schemes, the time required to exit powerdown and resume transmission is only
25µs.
When using both manual and enhanced automatic powerdown (FORCEON = 0), the ICL3238E does not power
up from manual powerdown until both FORCEOFF and FORCEON are driven high or until a transition occurs on
a receiver or transmitter input. Figure 10 shows a circuit for ensuring that the ICL3238E powers up as soon as
FORCEOFF switches high. The rising edge of the Master Powerdown signal forces the device to power up and
the ICL3238E returns to enhanced automatic powerdown mode an RC time constant after this rising edge. The
time constant is not critical because the ICL3238E remains powered up for 30 seconds after the FORCEON
falling edge, even if there are no signal transitions. This gives slow-to-wake systems (for example, a mouse)
plenty of time to start transmitting, and as long as it starts transmitting within 30 seconds both systems remain
enabled.

4. Application Information
4.5.3 Enhanced Automatic Powerdown
Even greater power savings are available by using the enhanced automatic powerdown function. When the
enhanced powerdown logic determines that no transitions have occurred on any of the transmitter or receiver
inputs for 30 seconds, the charge pump and transmitters power down and reduce the supply current to 10nA. The
ICL3238E automatically powers back up whenever it detects a transition on one of these inputs. The automatic
powerdown feature provides additional system power savings without changes to the existing operating system.
Enhanced automatic powerdown operates when the FORCEON input is low and the FORCEOFF input is high.
Tying FORCEON high disables automatic powerdown, but manual powerdown is always available from the
overriding FORCEOFF input. Table 5 on page 12 summarizes the enhanced automatic powerdown functionality.
Figure 11 shows the enhanced powerdown control logic.

Note: When the ICL3238E enters powerdown (manually or automatically), the 30 second timer remains timed out
(set) and keeps the ICL3238E powered down until FORCEON transitions high, or until a transition occurs on a
receiver or transmitter input.
The INVALID output signal switches low to indicate that invalid levels have persisted on all of the receiver inputs
for more than 60µs (see Figure 12), but this has no direct effect on the state of the ICL3238E (see “Emulating
Standard Automatic Powerdown” on page 16 and “Enhanced Automatic Powerdown” on page 15 for methods of
using INVALID to power down the device). INVALID switches high 1µs after detecting a valid RS-232 level on a
receiver input. INVALID operates in all modes (forced or automatic powerdown, or forced on), so it is also useful
for systems employing manual powerdown circuitry. The time to recover from automatic powerdown mode is
typically 25µs.

INVALID
If enhanced automatic powerdown is not required, you can implement the standard automatic powerdown feature
(mimics the function on the ICL3221, ICL3223, and ICL3243E) by connecting the INVALID output to the
FORCEON and FORCEOFF inputs, as shown in Figure 13. After 60µs of invalid receiver levels, INVALID
switches low and drives the ICL3238E into a forced powerdown condition. INVALID switches high as soon as a
receiver input senses a valid RS-232 level and forces the ICL3238E to power on. See the “INVALID DRIVING
FORCEON AND FORCEOFF” section of Table 5 for an operational summary. This operational mode is perfect for
handheld devices that communicate with another computer through a detachable cable. Detaching the cable
allows the internal receiver pull-down resistors to pull the inputs to GND (an invalid RS-232 level) and causes the
60µs timer to time out and drive the IC into powerdown. Reconnecting the cable restores valid levels and causes
the IC to power back up.

4.5.5 Hybrid Automatic Powerdown Options
For devices that communicate only through a detachable cable, you can connect INVALID to FORCEOFF (with
FORCEON = 0). While the cable is attached, INVALID and FORCEOFF remain high, so the enhanced automatic
powerdown logic powers down the RS-232 device whenever there is 30 seconds of inactivity on the receiver and
transmitter inputs. Detaching the cable allows the receiver inputs to drop to an invalid level (GND), so INVALID
switches low and forces the RS-232 device to power down. The ICL3238E remains powered down until the cable
is reconnected (INVALID = FORCEOFF = 1) and a transition occurs on a receiver or transmitter input
(see Figure 11). For immediate power up when the cable is reattached, connect FORCEON to FORCEOFF
through a network similar to that shown in Figure 10.
4.6
Capacitor Selection
The charge pumps require 0.1µF or greater capacitors for 3.3V (5% tolerance) operation. For other supply
voltages, see Table 6 for capacitor values. Do not use values smaller than those listed in Table 6. Increasing the
capacitor values (by a factor of 2) 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).

4. Application Information
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 influences the amount of ripple on V+ and V-.
4.7
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.
4.8
Transmitter Outputs when Exiting Powerdown
Figure 14 shows the response of two transmitter outputs when exiting powerdown mode. As the two transmitter
outputs activate, they properly go to opposite RS-232 levels with no glitching, ringing, or undesirable transients.
Each transmitter is loaded with 3kΩin parallel with 2500pF. Note: The transmitters enable only when the
magnitude of the supplies exceeds approximately 3V.

5. ±15kV ESD Protection
±15kV ESD Protection
All pins on the ICL32xx devices include ESD protection structures, but the ICL32xxE family incorporates
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 uses 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 factors such as approach speed, humidity, and
temperature, 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 and
eliminates 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.
