WS3220ECA

GEC · Pre-ordered Chips · SSOP-16

WS3220ECA from GEC, in a SSOP-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 XEN input Receiver enable, active low. When driven high the receiver output (R1OUT) is forced to a high-impedance (tri-state) condition.
2 C1+ passive Positive terminal of the voltage-doubler (boost) charge-pump flying capacitor. Connect a 0.1 µF capacitor between C1+ and C1-.
3 V+ power_out Charge-pump generated positive supply, nominally +5.4V. Bypass to GND with a 0.1 µF capacitor (C3).
4 C1- passive Negative terminal of the voltage-doubler (boost) charge-pump flying capacitor. Connect a 0.1 µF capacitor between C1+ and C1-.
5 C2+ passive Positive terminal of the inverting charge-pump flying capacitor. Connect a 0.1 µF capacitor between C2+ and C2-.
6 C2- passive Negative terminal of the inverting charge-pump flying capacitor. Connect a 0.1 µF capacitor between C2+ and C2-.
7 V- power_out Charge-pump generated negative supply, nominally -5.4V. Bypass to GND with a 0.1 µF capacitor (C4).
8 R1IN input RS-232 receiver input for channel 1. Accepts ±20V input swing with typical 5 kΩ input impedance (3-7 kΩ) and 0.8V/2.4V logic thresholds.
9 R1OUT output TTL/CMOS receiver output for channel 1. Drives VOL ≤ 0.4V at 1.6 mA and VOH ≥ VCC-0.6V at -1.0 mA; tri-stated when XEN is high.
10 NC unconnected No connect. Leave floating or tie to GND for best noise immunity.
11 T1IN input TTL/CMOS driver input for channel 1. Logic thresholds: VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2.4V, with 0.5V typical hysteresis and ±1 µA maximum leakage.
12 NC unconnected No connect. Leave floating or tie to GND for best noise immunity.
13 T1OUT output RS-232 driver output for channel 1. Delivers ±5V minimum into a 3 kΩ load with 300 Ω output resistance and ±60 mA short-circuit current; tri-stated in shutdown.
14 GND power_in Device ground return for both logic and charge-pump circuitry.
15 VCC power_in Primary supply input, +3.0V to +3.6V (typical 3.3V). Bypass to GND with a 0.1 µF capacitor.
16 XSD input Shutdown control, active low. Driving XSD low disables the driver and the charge-pump voltage converter, reducing supply current to ~1 µA (10 µA max).
