GENERAL DESCRIPTION
• Battery-Powered Equipment
• Handheld and Mobile Devices
• Handheld Terminals
• Industrial Peripheral Interfaces
• Point-of-Sale (POS) Systems
The XR19L210 (L210) is a highly integrated device that
combines
a
full-featured single channel Universal
Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) and an
RS-232 transceiver. The L210 is designed to operate with a
single 3.3V or 5V power supply. The L210 is fully compliant
with EIA/TIA-232-F Standards from a +3.0V to +5.5V power
supply. The device operates at 250 Kbps data rate with
worst case 3K ohms load. Both RS-232 driver outputs and
receiver inputs can operate in harsh electrical environments
of +/-15V without damage and can survive multiple +/-15kV
ESD on the RS-232 lines, while maintaining RS-232 output
levels.
FEATURES
• Meets true EIA/TIA-232-F Standards from a 3.0 V to 5.5V
operation
• Up to 250 Kbps data transmission rate
The L210 operates in four different modes: Awake, Partial
Sleep, Full Sleep and Power-Save. Each mode can be
invoked via hardware and/or software. In the Awake mode,
all functions are active. In the Partial Sleep mode, the
internal crystal oscillator or charge pump is turned off. In
Full Sleep mode, the internal crystal oscillator and the
charge pump is shut down. In the Power-Save mode, the
core logic is isolated from the control signals (chip select,
read/write strobes, address and data bus lines). All the RS-
232 receivers remain active in any of these four modes.
• 45us sleep mode exit (charge pump to full power)
• ESD protection for RS-232 I/O pins at
■ +/-15kV - Human Body Model
■ +/-15kV - IEC 1000-4-2, Air-Gap Discharge
■ +/- 8kV - IEC 1000-4-2, Contact Discharge
• Software compatible with industry standard 16550 UART
• Intel/Motorola bus select
• Half-modem interface (TXD, RXD, RTS, CTS)
• Sleep and Power-save modes to conserve battery power
• Wake-up interrupt upon exiting low power modes
