NAME FUNCTION
1
EN
Receiver Enable Control. Drive low for normal operation. Drive high to force the receiver output
(ROUT) into a high-impedance state.
2 C1+ Positive Terminal of the Voltage Doubler Charge-Pump Capacitor
PIN
3 V+ Positive Voltage Generated by the Charge Pump
4 C1- Negative Terminal of the Voltage Doubler Charge-Pump Capacitor
8 RIN RS-232 Receiver Input, ±15kV ESD protected
7 V- Negative Voltage Generated by the Charge Pump
6 C2- Negative Terminal of the Inverting Charge-Pump Capacitor
5 C2+ Positive Terminal of the Inverting Charge-Pump Capacitor
13 TOUT RS-232 Transmitter Output, ±15kV ESD Protected
12 FORCEON
Drive high to override automatic circuitry, keeping transmitter and charge pump on. FORCEOFF
must be high (Table 1).
11 TIN TTL/CMOS Transmitter Input

INVALID
Output of the Invalid Signal Detector. INVALID is pulled low if no valid RS-232 level is present on
the receiver input.
9 ROUT TTL/CMOS Receiver Output

FORCEOFF
Force-Off Input, active low. Drive low to shut down transmitter, receiver, and on-board charge
pump. This overrides all automatic circuitry and FORCEON (Table 1).
