This document describes the Intersil 5962-062070xQxA series of 5.0V powered RS-232 transmitters/receivers. These transmitters/receivers comply with ElA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 specifications and provide ±15kV ESD protection. The targeted applications include ruggedized portable products and remotely deployed devices exposed to extreme temperature and humidity where low power consumption is critical. They feature efficient on-chip charge pumps, manual and automatic power-down functions (except for the 5962-0620707Q2A), and a standby supply current of only 1µA. Small footprint packaging and the use of small, low value capacitors ensure board space savings. Data rates greater than 250kbps are guaranteed at worst case load conditions. This family is fully compatible with 5.0V-only systems.
The Intersil 5962‑06207xQxA family provides 5 V powered RS‑232 transmitters and receivers that meet EIA/TIA‑232 and V.28/V.24 specifications. They feature +15 kV ESD protection on all I/O pins, automatic and manual power‑down modes, and a small 28‑lead CLCC package suitable for rugged, battery‑powered equipment such as handheld GPS units, portable computers, and field‑deployed sensors.
The datasheet includes ordering information, pin‑out diagrams, power‑down logic tables, absolute maximum ratings, and detailed electrical specifications such as supply current (as low as 1 pA in standby), data‑rate guarantees (≥250 kbps), and temperature ranges (‑55 °C to +125 °C). Package dimensions for the ceramic leadless chip carrier are also provided.
