Data Sheet
January 2003
FN6034
±15kV ESD Protected, +3V to +5.5V,
1 Microamp, 250kbps, RS-232
Transmitters/Receivers with Separate
Logic Supply
Features
• V Pin for Compatibility with Mixed Voltage Systems
L
• ESD Protection for RS-232 I/O Pins to ±15kV (IEC61000)
• Low Power, Pin Compatible Upgrade for MAX3386E and
SP3203E
The ISL83386E contains 3.0V to 5.5V powered RS-232
transmitters/receivers which meet ElA/TIA-232 and
V.28/V.24 specifications, even at V
= 3.0V. Targeted
• Single SHDN Pin Disables Transmitters and Receivers
• Meets EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 Specifications at 3V
CC
applications are PDAs, Palmtops, and cell phones where the
low operational, and even lower standby, power consumption
is critical. Efficient on-chip charge pumps, coupled with a
manual powerdown function reduces 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.
• On-Chip Charge Pumps Require Only Four External
0.1µF Capacitors
• Receiver Hysteresis For Improved Noise Immunity
• 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. . . . . . . . . < 1µA
The ISL83386E features a V pin that adjusts the logic pin
L
(see Pin Descriptions table) output levels and input
thresholds to values compatible with the V
external logic (e.g., a UART).

CC
Applications
The single pin powerdown function (SHDN = 0) disables all
the receiver and transmitter outputs, while shutting down the
charge pump to minimize supply current drain.
• Any System Requiring RS-232 Communication Ports
- Battery Powered, Hand-Held, and Portable Equipment
- Laptop Computers, Notebooks, Palmtops
- Digital Cameras
