mode. For always enabled operation, FORCEON and
FORCEOFF are both strapped high. To switch between
active and powerdown modes, under logic or software
control, only the FORCEOFF input need be driven. The
FORCEON state isn’t critical, as FORCEOFF dominates
over FORCEON. Nevertheless, if strictly manual control over
powerdown is desired, the user must strap FORCEON high
to disable the automatic powerdown circuitry.
Connecting FORCEOFF and FORCEON together disables
the automatic powerdown feature, enabling them to function
as a manual SHUTDOWN input (see Figure 4).
The time to recover from automatic powerdown mode is
typically 100µs.

Automatic Powerdown
Even greater power savings is available by using the
automatic powerdown function. When no valid RS-232
voltages (see Figure 6) are sensed on any receiver input for
30µs, the charge pump and transmitters powerdown,
thereby reducing supply current to 10nA. 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 ISL422XE powers back up whenever it
detects a valid RS-232 voltage level on any receiver input.
This automatic powerdown feature provides additional
system power savings without changes to the existing
operating system.
Automatic powerdown operates when the FORCEON input
is low, and the FORCEOFF input is high. Tying FORCEON
high disables automatic powerdown, but manual powerdown
is always available via the overriding FORCEOFF input.
Table 2 summarizes the automatic powerdown functionality.
Some applications may need more time to wake up from
shutdown. If automatic powerdown is being utilized, the RS-
232 device will reenter powerdown if valid receiver levels
aren’t reestablished within 30µs of the ISL422XE powering
up. Figure 5 illustrates a circuit that keeps the ISL422XE
