ZT3232F

The ZT32xxF series devices are 3V powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces with low power requirements. They consist of two line drivers, two line receivers and the proprietary switch-capacitor regulated voltage converters. The ZT3220F has a 1Tx and 1Rx configuration. These devices operate from a single 3V to 5.5V power supply at the guaranteed data rate of 1000K bits/sec with enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in all RS232 I/O pins exceeding ±15kV EN61000-4-2 Air Gap Discharge and ±8kV EN61000-4-2 Contact Discharge.

The ZT3221F and ZT3223F features the AUTOGREEN (patent pending) proprietary function which automatically powers down the on-chip regulated voltage converters and driver circuits when an RS-232 cable is disconnected from the host interface or when a connected peripheral device is turned off.
