Receivers
The ICL32X7E each contain inverting receivers that convert
RS-232 signals to CMOS output levels and accept inputs up
to ±25V while presenting the required 3kΩ to 7kΩ input
impedance (see Figure 1) even if the power is off
(V
hysteresis to increase noise immunity and decrease errors
due to slow input signal transitions.
Receivers on the ICL3207E are always active. The
ICL3217E receivers disable when in the automatic
powerdown state, thereby eliminating the possible current
path through a shutdown peripheral’s input protection diode
(see Figures 2 and 3).
Low Power Operation
These 3V devices require a nominal supply current of
0.3mA, even at V
powerdown mode). This is considerably less than the 11mA
current required by comparable 5V RS-232 devices,
allowing users to reduce system power simply by replacing
the old style device with the ICL3207E.
Low Power, Pin Compatible Replacement
Pin compatibility with existing 5V products (e.g., MAX207E),
coupled with the wide operating supply range, make the
ICL32X7E potential lower power, higher performance drop-
in replacements for existing ‘2X7E 5V applications. As long
as the ±5V RS-232 output swings are acceptable, the
ICL32X7E devices should work in most 5V applications.

When replacing a ‘207E or ‘237E device in an existing 5V
application, it is acceptable to terminate C
on the Typical Operating Circuit. Nevertheless, terminate C
to GND if possible, as slightly better performance results
from this configuration.
Automatic Powerdown (ICL3217E Only)
Even greater power savings is available by using the
ICL3217E which features an automatic powerdown function.
When no valid RS-232 voltages (see Figure 4) are sensed
on any receiver input for 30µs, the ICL3217E automatically
enters its powerdown state (see Figure 5). In powerdown,
supply current drops to 1µA, because the on-chip charge
pump turns off (V+ collapses to V
and the receiver and transmitter outputs three-state (see
Table 2). This micro-power mode makes the ICL3217E ideal
for battery powered and portable applications. Invalid
receiver levels occur whenever the driving peripheral’s
outputs are shut off (powered down) or when the RS-232
interface cable is disconnected. The ICL3217E powers back
up whenever it detects a valid RS-232 voltage level on any
receiver input (such as when the RS-232 cable is
reconnected). The time to recover from automatic
powerdown mode is typically 100µs.
