TRS3221EIPWR

Texas Instruments · RS232 ICs · TSSOP-16

TRS3221EIPWR from Texas Instruments, in a TSSOP-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 EN input Active-low receiver enable. When EN is low, ROUT is active; when EN is high, ROUT is high-impedance. Logic input referenced to VCC.
2 C1+ passive Positive terminal of the charge-pump flying capacitor C1 (0.1 µF typical; 0.047 µF at VCC = 3.3 V). Used by the internal doubler to generate V+.
3 V+ power_out Regulated +5.5-V (typ) charge-pump output. Bypass to GND with C3 (0.1 µF typical, 0.33 µF at VCC = 5 V). Absolute max +7 V.
4 C1- passive Negative terminal of the charge-pump flying capacitor C1. Paired with C1+ to develop V+.
5 C2+ passive Positive terminal of the charge-pump flying capacitor C2 (0.1 µF typical, 0.33 µF at VCC = 5 V). Used by the internal inverter to generate V-.
6 C2- passive Negative terminal of the charge-pump flying capacitor C2. Paired with C2+ to develop V-.
7 V- power_out Regulated -5.4-V (typ) inverted charge-pump output. Bypass to GND with C4 (0.1 µF typical, 0.33 µF at VCC = 5 V). Absolute max -7 V.
8 RIN input RS-232 receiver input. Accepts ±25-V RS-232 line levels with 3-kΩ to 7-kΩ input resistance (5 kΩ typ). Provides ±15-kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection.
9 ROUT output TTL/CMOS receiver output derived from RIN. High-impedance when EN is high. VOH = VCC - 0.1 V typ, VOL = 0.4 V max.
10 INVALID output Active-low RS-232 signal-present status output. Low when RIN sits between -0.3 V and 0.3 V for more than 30 µs (invalid data); high when a valid RS-232 signal is present.
11 DIN input TTL/CMOS driver input. Accepts 5-V logic with 3.3-V supply. VIH >= 2 V (VCC=3.3 V) or 2.4 V (VCC=5 V); VIL <= 0.8 V.
12 FORCEON input Auto-powerdown override input. When FORCEON is high and FORCEOFF is high, auto-powerdown is disabled and the driver is always on. Used with FORCEOFF to select powerdown modes (see function table).
13 DOUT output RS-232 driver output. Swings to ±5.4 V (typ) into a 3-kΩ load; high-impedance when the driver is powered off. ±15-kV IEC ESD protected.
14 GND power_in Ground reference for the device. All voltages referenced to this pin.
15 VCC power_in Positive supply input, 3 V to 5.5 V. Bypass to GND with a 0.1-µF capacitor (0.047 µF at VCC = 3.3 V). Absolute max 6 V.
16 FORCEOFF input Active-low forced-off input. When FORCEOFF is low (and EN is high), both driver and receiver are shut off and supply current drops to about 1 µA. Must be high for normal operation.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
trs3221eipwr.step 205 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
trs3221eipwr-etched.step 2.8 MB You want the part with TRS3221EIPWR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 696 faces against 255 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
