This document describes the Intersil 5962-062070xQxA series of 3.3V RS-232 transmitters/receivers, which meet ElA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 specifications even at VCC = 3.0V. Additionally, they provide ±15kV ESD protection and are suitable for ruggedized portable products and remotely deployed devices exposed to extreme temperature and humidity, with low power consumption.
The Intersil 5962-0620701Q3A is a 3.3 V powered RS‑232 transmitter/receiver that meets EIA/TIA‑232 and V.28/V.24 specifications. It offers +15 kV ESD protection on all I/O pins, automatic power‑down modes, and a guaranteed minimum data rate of 250 kbps. Typical power‑up current is 0.3 mA (max 1.8 mA) and power‑down current is as low as 10 pA.
Targeted applications include military‑grade or high‑reliability equipment such as rugged handheld GPS units, laptops, industrial control communications, field‑deployed sensors, and ruggedized mobile phones. The devices are offered in 28‑lead and 20‑lead CLCC ceramic packages.
