9 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information

The TRS3232 device is designed to convert single-ended signals into RS232-compatible signals, and vice-versa.

This device can be used in any application where an RS232 line driver or receiver is required. One benefit of this device is its ESD protection, which helps protect other components on the board when the RS232 lines are tied to a physical connector.

9.2 Typical Application

A. C3 can be connected to VCC or GND.
B. Resistor values shown are nominal.
C. Nonpolarized ceramic capacitors are acceptable. If polarized tantalum or electrolytic capacitors are used, they must be connected as shown.
D. See Table 4 for capacitor values.
Figure 9. Typical Operating Circuit

9.2.1 Design Requirements

  • Recommended VCC is 3.3 V or 5 V
    • 3 V to 5.5 V is also possible
  • Maximum recommended bit rate is 250 kbps
  • Use capacitors as shown in Figure 9 and Table 4

Table 4. VCC versus Capacitor Values

VCC C1 C2, C3, and C4
3.3 V ± 0.3 V 0.1 µF 0.1 µF
5 V ± 0.5 V 0.047 µF 0.33 µF
3 V to 5.5 V 0.1 µF 0.47 µF

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

For proper operation, add capacitors as shown in Figure 9 and Table 4.

  • DIN, FORCEOFF and FORCEON inputs must be connected to valid low or high logic levels
  • Select capacitor values based on VCC level for best performance

ROUT and DIN connect to UART or general purpose logic lines. FORCEON and FORCEOFF may be connected general purpose logic lines or tied to ground or VCC. INVALID may be connected to a general purpose logic line or left unconnected. RIN and DOUT lines connect to a RS232 connector or cable. DIN, FORCEON, and FORCEOFF inputs must not be left unconnected.
