Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | EN | input | Receiver enable control: drive low for normal operation, drive high to force the receiver outputs (R_OUT) into a high-impedance state. |
| 2 | C1+ | passive | Positive terminal of the voltage doubler charge-pump capacitor (C1, 0.1µF for 3.3V operation). |
| 3 | V+ | power_out | +5.5V generated by the charge pump over the +3.0V to +5.5V VCC range. |
| 4 | C1- | passive | Negative terminal of the voltage doubler charge-pump capacitor. |
| 5 | C2+ | passive | Positive terminal of the inverting charge-pump capacitor. |
| 6 | C2- | passive | Negative terminal of the inverting charge-pump capacitor. |
| 7 | V- | power_out | -5.5V generated by the inverting charge pump over the +3.0V to +5.5V VCC range. |
| 8 | R1IN | input | RS-232 receiver input, rated for an input voltage range of ±25V. |
| 9 | R1OUT | output | TTL/CMOS inverting three-state receiver output, high-impedance when EN is high. |
| 10 | INVALID | output | Output of the valid signal detector: goes high when a valid RS-232 level is present on any receiver input, and is low otherwise. |
| 11 | T1IN | input | TTL/CMOS transmitter input; the transmitter inputs do not have pull-up resistors. |
| 12 | FORCEON | input | Drive high to override the automatic circuitry and keep transmitters and charge pump on (FORCEOFF must be high). |
| 13 | T1OUT | output | RS-232 transmitter output, forced to high impedance when FORCEOFF is driven low or AutoShutdown senses invalid levels on all receiver inputs. |
| 14 | GND | power_in | Ground reference. |
| 15 | VCC | power_in | +3.0V to +5.5V supply voltage. |
| 16 | FORCEOFF | input | Force-off input, active low: drive low to shut down the transmitters, receivers, and on-board charge pump, overriding AutoShutdown and FORCEON. |
