ISL4241E, ISL4243E
QFN Packaged, ±15kV ESD Protected, +2.7V to +5.5V, 10Nanoamp, 250kbps, RS-232 Transmitters/Receivers
FN8037 Rev 7.00 Jun 10, 2010
Intersil’s ISL4241E, ISL4243E devices are 2.7V to 5.5V powered RS-232 transmitters/receivers which meet ElA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 specifications, even at VCC = 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 automatic power-down functions, reduce the standby supply current to a 10nA trickle.
