The XR19L212 (L212) is a highly integrated device that
combines
a
full-featured two channel Universal
Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) and RS-
232 transceivers. The L212 is designed to operate with a
single 3.3V or 5V power supply. The L212 is fully compliant
with EIA/TIA-232-F Standards from a +3.3V to +5.5V power
supply. The device operates at 1 Mbps 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 +3.3V to +5.5V
operation
•
•
•
Up to 1 Mbps data transmission rate
The L212 operates in four different modes: Active, Partial
Sleep, Full Sleep and Power-Save. Each mode can be
invoked via hardware or software. Upon power-up, the
L212 is in the Active mode where the UART and RS-232
transceiver function normally. In the Partial Sleep mode, the
internal crystal oscillator of the UART or charge pump of the
RS-232 transceiver is turned off. In Full Sleep mode, both
the crystal oscillator and the charge pump are turned off.
While the UART is in the Sleep mode, the Power-Save
mode isolates the core logic from the control signals (chip
select, read/write strobes, address and data bus lines) to
minimize the power consumption. The RS-232 receivers
remain active in any of these four modes.
