description/ordering information (continued)
Flexible control options for power management are available when the serial port is inactive. The
auto-powerdown feature functions when FORCEON is low and FORCEOFF
is high. During this mode of
operation, if the device does not sense a valid RS-232 signal, the driver outputs are disabled. If FORCEOFF
is set low, both drivers and receivers (except ROUT2B) are shut off, and the supply current is reduced to 1 µA.
Disconnecting the serial port or turning off the peripheral drivers causes the auto-powerdown condition to occur.
Auto-powerdown can be disabled when FORCEON and FORCEOFF
are high and should be done when driving
a serial mouse. With auto-powerdown enabled, the device is activated automatically when a valid signal is
applied to any receiver input. The INVALID
output is used to notify the user if an RS-232 signal is present at any
receiver input. INVALID
is high (valid data) if any receiver input voltage is greater than 2.7 V or less than −2.7 V
or has been between −0.3 V and 0.3 V for less than 30 µs. INVALID
is low (invalid data) if all receiver input
voltages are between −0.3 V and 0.3 V for more than 30 µs. Refer to Figure 5 for receiver input levels.
