Overview: Datasheet ISL83220E
±15kV ESD Protected, +3V to +5.5V, 1µA, 250kbps, RS-232 Transmitters/Receivers The ISL83220E is a 3.0V to 5.5V powered RS-232 transmitter/receiver that meets 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 PDAs, Palmtops, and notebook and laptop computers in which the low operational power consumption and even lower standby power consumption is critical. Efficient on-chip charge pumps, coupled with a manual powerdown function, 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. The ISL83220E is fully compatible with 3.3V only systems, mixed 3.3V and 5.0V systems, and 5.0V only systems.
