The Intersil ICL32XXE devices are 3.0V to 5.5V powered RS-232 transmitters/receive
rs which meet ElA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 specifications, even at VCC = 3.0V. Additionally, they provide ±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 where the low operational, 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 1µA trickle. Small footprint packaging, and the use of small, low value capacitors ensure board space savings as well. Data rates greater than 250kbps are guaranteed 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.brbr The ICL3244E is a 3 driver, 5 receiver device that provides a complete serial port suitable for laptop or notebook computers. It also includes a noninverting always-active receiver for "wake-up" capability.brbr These devices, feature an enhanced automatic powerdown function which powers down the on-chip powersupply and driver circuits. This occurs when all receiver and transmitter inputs detect no signal transitions for a period of 30 seconds. These devices power back up, automatically, whenever they sense a transition on any transmitter or receiver input.
