  • Product Description

    The UM3243 series are 3-driver/5-receiver 3V-5.5V powered RS-232 transceivers featuring Auto Power-Off and low supply current, when no valid RS-232 level signal is sensed on any receiver inputs, the charge pump circuit and drivers will be powered off. Disconnection of the RS-232 cable or poweroff of the transmitters of the attaching peripherals will lead to Power-Off mode. When a valid level is applied to any RS-232 receiver inputs, the chip will turn on again. The Auto Power-Off mode helps to save power without changing the existing system.

    The UM3243 transceivers have a regulated discontinuous mode dual charge pump power supply and low-dropout transmitters, which combine to deliver true RS-232 performance from a single 3V to 5.5V supply. Data rate of 250kbps is guaranteed.

    The UM3243 needs only four 0.1μF capacitors in 3.3V operation, and can operate from input voltages ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V. They are ideal for 3.3V-only systems, mixed 3.3V and 5.0V systems, or 5.0V-only systems that require true RS-232 performance or EIA/TIA-562 levels of ±3.7V with supply voltages as low as 2.7V.

    The UM3243 includes one complementary always-active receiver. This receiver can monitor an external device (such as a modem) in Power-Off. The UM3243 also includes an always-active /INVALID output which indicates valid RS-232 signal levels on any receiver inputs. It is usually used in UART wakeup. The UM3243 also features enhanced ESD protection with ±8kV for human body mode and ±8kV for IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge mode.
