Systems
The Intersil ISL4270E is a 3.0V to 5.5V powered RS-232
transceiver which meets ElA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24
• ESD Protection for RS-232 I/O Pins to ±15kV (IEC61000)
• Manual and Enhanced Automatic Powerdown Features
• Meets EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 Specifications at 3V
specifications, even at V
= 3.0V. Additionally, it provides
CC
±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 300nA trickle. Tiny 5mm x 5mm
Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) 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.
• On-Chip Charge Pumps Require Only Four External
0.1µF Capacitors
• Receivers Stay Active in Powerdown
• Very Low Supply Current . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 300µA
• Guaranteed Minimum Data Rate . . . . . . . . . . . . . 250kbps
• Wide Power Supply Range. . . . . . . . Single +3V to +5.5V
• Low Supply Current in Powerdown State. . . . . . . . 300nA
• Pb-Free Available (RoHS Compliant)
The ISL4270E features a V pin that adjusts the logic pin

output levels and input thresholds to values compatible with
Applications
the V
powering the external logic (e.g., a UART).
• Any System Requiring RS-232 Communication Ports
- Battery Powered, Hand-Held, and Portable Equipment
- Laptop Computers, Notebooks, Palmtops
- Digital Cameras
CC
This device includes an enhanced automatic powerdown
function which powers down the on-chip power-supply and
driver circuits. This occurs when all receiver and transmitter
inputs detect no signal transitions for a period of 30 seconds.
It power back up, automatically, whenever it senses a
transition on any transmitter or receiver input.
- PDA’s and PDA Cradles
- Cellular/Mobile Phones

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free products employ special Pb-free material
sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin
plate termination finish, which are RoHS compliant and compatible
with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil Pb-free
products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that
meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-
020C.
