Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 C1+ passive Positive terminal for the first charge-pump flying capacitor (C1). Connect a 0.1µF (up to 1.0µF) ceramic capacitor between C1+ (pin 1) and C1- (pin 3) to enable the voltage-doubling charge pump.
2 V+ power_out Doubled (positive) charge-pump output voltage, roughly +2·VCC. Bypass to GND with a 0.1µF (up to 1.0µF) reservoir capacitor (C3). Absolute maximum (VCC-0.3)V to +7V;
3 C1- passive Negative terminal for the first charge-pump flying capacitor (C1). Pairs with C1+ (pin 1) via a 0.1µF (up to 1.0µF) ceramic capacitor.
4 C2+ passive Positive terminal for the second charge-pump flying capacitor (C2). Connect a 0.1µF (up to 1.0µF) ceramic capacitor between C2+ (pin 4) and C2- (pin 5) for the inverting charge pump that generates V-.
5 C2- passive Negative terminal for the second charge-pump flying capacitor (C2). Pairs with C2+ (pin 4) via a 0.1µF (up to 1.0µF) ceramic capacitor.
6 V- power_out Inverted (negative) charge-pump output voltage, roughly -2·VCC. Bypass to GND with a 0.1µF (up to 1.0µF) reservoir capacitor (C4). Absolute maximum +0.3V to -7V;
7 T2OUT output Second RS-232 transmitter output. Drives ±5V (typ ±5.4V at VCC=5V, ±4.0V at VCC=3.3V) into a 3kΩ load. Short-circuit current limited to ±60mA; withstands ±15kV IEC61000-4-2 air discharge.
8 R2IN input Second RS-232 receiver input. Operating range ±25V, input resistance 3-7kΩ (typ 5kΩ), thresholds VRIL 0.6-1.5V / VRIH up to 2.4V with ~0.3V hysteresis. Withstands ±15kV IEC61000-4-2 air discharge.
9 R2OUT output Second receiver TTL/CMOS output. VROL ≤ 0.4V at IOUT=1.6mA (VCC=3.3V); VROH ≥ VCC-0.6V at IOUT=-0.5mA (VCC=3.3V). Logic inversion of R2IN.
10 T2IN input Second transmitter TTL/CMOS logic input. VTIL ≤ 0.8V, VTIH ≥ 2V (VCC=3.3V) / 2.4V (VCC=5V), ~250mV hysteresis, ±1µA leakage. Drives T2OUT with logic inversion.
11 T1IN input First transmitter TTL/CMOS logic input. VTIL ≤ 0.8V, VTIH ≥ 2V (VCC=3.3V) / 2.4V (VCC=5V), ~250mV hysteresis, ±1µA leakage. Drives T1OUT with logic inversion.
12 R1OUT output First receiver TTL/CMOS output. VROL ≤ 0.4V at IOUT=1.6mA (VCC=3.3V); VROH ≥ VCC-0.6V at IOUT=-0.5mA (VCC=3.3V). Logic inversion of R1IN.
13 R1IN input First RS-232 receiver input. Operating range ±25V, input resistance 3-7kΩ (typ 5kΩ), thresholds VRIL 0.6-1.5V / VRIH up to 2.4V with ~0.3V hysteresis. Withstands ±15kV IEC61000-4-2 air discharge.
14 T1OUT output First RS-232 transmitter output. Drives ±5V (typ ±5.4V at VCC=5V, ±4.0V at VCC=3.3V) into a 3kΩ load. Short-circuit current limited to ±60mA; withstands ±15kV IEC61000-4-2 air discharge.
15 GND power_in Ground / 0V reference for both logic and RS-232 sides.
16 VCC power_in Positive supply voltage, 3.0V to 5.5V operating (absolute max -0.3V to +6V). Bypass to GND with 0.1µF (up to 1.0µF). Quiescent supply current ~2.5mA typ at 3.3V, ~6mA typ at 5V (no load).
