DATASHEET
ICL3225E, ICL3227E, ICL3245E
±15kV ESD Protected, +3V to +5.5V, 1µA, 1Mbps, RS-232 Transceivers with
Enhanced Automatic Powerdown
The Intersil
ICL3225E, ICL3227E,
and
ICL3245E
devices are
3.0V to 5.5V powered RS-232 transmitters/receivers which
meet ElA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 specifications, even at
V
CC
= 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 1Mbps 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.
The ICL3245E 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.
These devices, feature 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 30s. These
devices power back up automatically, whenever they sense a
transition on any transmitter or receiver input.

this datasheet, while Application Note
AN9863

the features of each device comprising the ICL32xxE 3V family.

1. Add “-T” suffix for 1k unit tape and reel option. Refer to
TB347
for details on reel specifications.
2. These Intersil Pb-free plastic packaged products employ special Pb-free material sets, molding compounds/die attach materials, and 100% matte
tin plate plus anneal (e3 termination finish, which is 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-020.
3. Pb-free PDIPs can be used for through hole wave solder processing only. They are not intended for use in Reflow solder processing applications.
4. For Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL), see product information page for
ICL3225E, ICL3227E, ICL3245E.
For more information on MSL, see tech brief
TB363.
