Datasheet
ICL3224, ICL3226, ICL3238
1µA, +3V to +5.5V, 250kbps, RS-232 Transceivers with Enhanced Automatic
Powerdown
The ICL3224, ICL3226, and ICL3238 (ICL32xx)
devices are 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.
Targeted applications are PDAs, Palmtops, and
notebook and laptop computers where low
operational power consumption and even lower
standby power consumption are critical. Efficient
on-chip charge pumps, coupled with manual and
enhanced automatic powerdown functions, reduce
the standby supply current to a 1µA 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. This family is fully compatible with 3.3V
only systems, mixed 3.3V and 5.0V systems, and
5.0V only systems.
The ICL3238 is a 5 driver, 3 receiver device that
includes a noninverting always-active receiver for
Ring Indicator monitoring.
Features
• Pb-free (RoHS compliant)
• ±15kV ESD protected (human body model)
• Manual and enhanced automatic powerdown
features
• Drop in replacements for MAX3224, MAX3226,
MAX3238
• Meets EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 specifications
at 3V
• Latch-up free
• RS-232 compatible with VCC = 2.7V
• On-chip voltage converters require only four
external 0.1µF capacitors
• Flow-through pinout (ICL3238)
• “Ready to transmit” indicator output (ICL3224/26)
• Receiver hysteresis for improved noise immunity
The ICL32xx devices feature an enhanced automatic
powerdown function that powers down the on-chip
power supply and driver circuits. Powerdown occurs
when all receiver and transmitter inputs detect no
signal transitions for a period of 30s. These devices
power back up automatically whenever they sense a
transition on any transmitter or receiver input.
• Ensured minimum data rate: 250kbps
Table 1 summarizes the features of the devices
represented by this datasheet, and AN9863
summarizes the features of each device in the
ICL32xx 3V family.
• Any system requiring RS-232 communication ports
• Wide power supply range: Single +3V to +5.5V
• Low supply current in powerdown state: 1µA
Applications
○ Battery powered, hand-held, and portable
equipment
○ Laptop computers, Notebooks, Palmtops
○ Modems, printers and other peripherals

4. Application Information
Application Information
ICL3224, ICL3226, and ICL3238 (ISL32xx) devices operate from a single +3V to +5.5V supply, ensure a 250kbps
minimum data rate, require only four small external 0.1µF capacitors, feature low power consumption, and meet
all ElA RS-232C and V.28 specifications.
4.1
Charge-Pump
The ICL32xx devices use 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, which allows them 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 the Capacitor Selection section, and Table 6 on page 19 for capacitor recommendations for other
operating conditions. The charge pumps operate discontinuously (turning off when the V+ and V- supplies are
pumped up to the nominal values), resulting in significant power savings.
4.1.1 Charge Pump Absolute Maximum Ratings
These 3V to 5V RS-232 transceivers have been 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 (see Table 3). 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 over a
wide range of single supply system voltages.
Transmitter outputs disable and assume a high impedance state when the device enters the powerdown mode
(see Table 5 on page 15). 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.
Transmitter inputs float if left unconnected, and can increase ICC. Connect unused inputs to GND for best
performance.

4. Application Information
Receivers
All the ICL32xx devices contain standard inverting receivers, but only the ICL3238 receiver can tri-state, using the
FORCEOFF control line. The ICL3238 includes a noninverting (monitor) receiver (denoted by the ROUTB label)
that is always active, regardless of the state of any control lines. This receiver converts RS-232 signals to CMOS
output levels and accepts inputs up to ±25V while presenting the required 3kΩ to 7kΩ input impedance (see
Figure 8) 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.

Figure 8. Inverting Receiver Connections
The ICL3238 inverting receiver disables during forced (manual) powerdown, but not during automatic powerdown
(see Table 5 on page 15). Conversely, the monitor receiver remains active even during manual powerdown, which
makes it 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 9 and 10). When
powered down, they cannot be used for wake up functions, but the corresponding monitor receiver can be
dedicated to this task as shown in Figure 10.

4. Application Information
Powerdown Functionality
The 3V ICL32xx devices require a nominal supply current of 0.3mA during normal operation (not in powerdown
mode). This current is considerably less than the 5mA to 11mA current required of 5V RS-232 devices. The
already low current requirement drops significantly when the device enters powerdown mode. In powerdown,
supply current drops to 1µA, because the on-chip charge pump turns off (V+ collapses to VCC, V- collapses to
GND), and the transmitter outputs tri-state. Inverting receiver outputs may disable in powerdown; see Table 5 for
details. This micro-power mode makes these devices ideal for battery powered and portable applications.

4. Application Information
4.4.1 Software Controlled (Manual) Powerdown
The ICL32xx devices allow you to force the IC into the low power, standby state, and use 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 automatic powerdown circuitry. The ICL3238’s inverting (standard) receiver
outputs also disables when the device is in powerdown and eliminates the possible current path through a
shutdown peripheral’s input protection diode (see Figures 9 and 10).
Connecting FORCEOFF and FORCEON together disables the enhanced automatic powerdown feature, which
enables them to function as a manual SHUTDOWN input (see Figure 11).

Figure 11. Connections for Manual Powerdown When No Valid Receiver Signals are Present
With any of the above control schemes, the time required to exit powerdown, and resume transmission is only
100µs.
When using both manual and enhanced automatic powerdown (FORCEON = 0), the ICL32xx devices do 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 12 shows a circuit for ensuring that the ICL32xx powers up as
soon as FORCEOFF switches high. The rising edge of the master powerdown signal forces the device to power
up, and the ICL32xx returns to enhanced automatic powerdown mode an RC time constant after this rising edge.
The time constant is not critical, because the ICL32xx remains powered up for 30s after the FORCEON falling
edge, even if there are no signal transitions. The delay gives slow-to-wake systems (such as a mouse) plenty of
time to start transmitting, and as long as it starts transmitting within 30s, both systems remain enabled.

4.4.2 INVALID Output
Table 5 on page 15 shows that the INVALID output always indicates whether or not 30µs have elapsed with invalid
RS-232 signals (see Figures 13 and 15) persisting on all of the receiver inputs and provides you a 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).

Enhanced Automatic Powerdown
Even greater power savings are available by using the ICL32xx’s enhanced automatic powerdown function. When
the enhanced powerdown logic determines that no transitions have occurred on any of the transmitter nor
receiver inputs for 30s, the charge pump and transmitters powerdown, thereby reducing supply current to 1µA.
The ICL32xx devices automatically power back up whenever they detect 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 using the
overriding FORCEOFF input. Table 5 summarizes the enhanced automatic powerdown functionality.
Figure 14 shows the enhanced powerdown control logic. Note: When the ICL32xx enters powerdown (manually
or automatically), the 30-second timer remains timed out (set), keeping the ICL32xx 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 30µs (see Figure 15), but this signal switch has no direct effect on the state of the ICL32xx (see the
next sections 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.

Figure 15. Enhanced Automatic Powerdown, INVALID and READY Timing Diagrams
The time to recover from automatic powerdown mode is typically 100µs.
4.5.1 Emulating Standard Automatic Powerdown
FORCEOFF
INVALID
FORCEON
If enhanced automatic powerdown is not desired, you can implement the standard automatic powerdown feature
(mimics the function on the ICL3221/23/43) by connecting the INVALID output to the FORCEON and FORCEOFF
inputs, as shown in Figure 16. After 30µs of invalid receiver levels, INVALID switches low and drives the ICL32xx
into a forced powerdown condition. INVALID switches high as soon as a receiver input senses a valid RS-232
level, forcing the ICL32xx to power on. See the “INVALID Driving FORCEON and FORCEOFF” sections of
Table 5 on page 15 for an operational summary. This operational mode is perfect for hand-held devices that
communicate with another computer using a detachable cable. Detaching the cable allows the internal receiver
pull-down resistors to pull the inputs to GND (an invalid RS-232 level), causing the 30µs timer to time-out and
drive the IC into powerdown. Reconnecting the cable restores valid levels, causing the IC to power back up.

4. Application Information
4.5.2 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 30s 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 ICL32xx remains powered down until the cable is
reconnected (INVALID = FORCEOFF = 1), and a transition occurs on a receiver or transmitter input (see
Figure 14 on page 17). For immediate power up when the cable is reattached, connect FORCEON to
FORCEOFF through a network similar to that shown in Figure 12 on page 16.
4.6
READY Output (ICL3224 and ICL3226 only)
The READY output indicates that the ICL322x devices are ready to transmit. READY switches low whenever the
device enters powerdown, and switches back high during power-up when V- reaches -4V or lower.
4.7
Capacitor Selection
The charge pumps require 0.1µF capacitors for 3.3V 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).
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-.

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.

Transmitter Outputs when Exiting Powerdown
Figure 17 shows the response of two transmitter outputs when exiting powerdown mode. As they activate, the two
transmitter outputs properly go to opposite RS-232 levels, with no glitching, ringing, nor undesirable transients.
Each transmitter is loaded with 3kΩ in parallel with 2500pF. Note: The transmitters enable only when the
magnitude of the supplies exceed approximately 3V.

Operation Down to 2.7V
The ICL32xx transmitter outputs meet RS-562 levels (±3.7V), at the full data rate, with VCC as low as 2.7V.
RS-562 levels typically ensure interoperability with RS-232 devices.
4.11
High Data Rates
The ICL32xx maintain the RS-232 ±5V minimum transmitter output voltages even at high data rates. Figure 18
shows a transmitter loopback test circuit, and Figure 19 on page 21 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 20 on page 21 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 ICL32xx directly interface with 5V CMOS and TTL logic families. The AC, HC, and CD4000 outputs can drive
ICL32xx inputs with the ICL32xx at 3.3V and the logic supply at 5V, but ICL32xx outputs do not reach the
minimum VIH for these logic families. See Table 7 for more information.
