PRODUCTION DATA.
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.
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.
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 VL. 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. For proper operation, add capacitors as shown in Figure 8.
Driver input as top waveform and driver output as bottom waveform.
