Overview
Le RS232 Isolator 2 Click Board™ est une carte complémentaire compacte contenant un émetteur-récepteur entièrement isolé qui fournit une conversion UART vers RS-232 sécurisée et facile. Cette carte est équipée de l'ICL3221, un émetteur/récepteur RS-232 alimenté en 3,3 V qui fournit une protection ESD de ±15 kV sur ses broches RS232 de Renesas. Cette Click Board™ est caractérisée par un débit de données minimum assuré de 250 kbps. Elle dispose d'une fonction de mise hors tension automatique et utilise des optocoupleurs numériques à grande vitesse pour isoler l'interface RS-232 pour une isolation de 3,75 kV. Elle possède également un indicateur LED indiquant un signal RS-232 valide à n'importe quelle entrée du récepteur. Cette Click Board™ convient à l'isolation des signaux RS-232 des équipements portables, où la faible consommation d'énergie de fonctionnement et une consommation d'énergie en veille encore plus faible sont essentielles.
La carte Click Board™ pour isolateur RS232 2 est pris en charge par une bibliothèque compatible mikroSDK, qui comprend des fonctions qui simplifient le développement logiciel. Cette Click Board™ est un produit entièrement testé, prêt à être utilisé sur un système équipé du socket mikroBUS™.
How Does The RS232 Isolator 2 Click Board™ Work?
The RS232 Isolator 2 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the ICL3221, a 3.3V powered RS232 transmitter/receiver that provides ±15kV ESD protection on its RS232 pins from Renesas. It features an automatic power-down function that occurs when the RS232 cable is removed and conserves system power automatically, and power-up again when a valid RS232 voltage is applied to any receiver input. It also ensures data rates greater than 250kbps even at worst-case load conditions.
The RS232 Isolator 2 Click Board™ represents an isolated RS232 interface configuration using PS9121, an optically coupled high-speed active-low type isolator from Renesas, containing a GaAlAs LED on the input side, a photodiode, and a signal processing circuit on the output side rated for 3.75kV isolation and up to 15Mbps data rate. The RS232 transceiver ICL3221 is specified with a data rate of 250kbps and operates from a 3.0V to 3.6V external power supply header on the board's right side. In addition to the optocouplers, the TC7SZ125FU logic buffers from Toshiba Semiconductor are used to drive the necessary LED currents that usually cannot be provided by low-power MCUs or RS232 receiver outputs.
The ICL3221 communicates with MCU using the UART interface with the default baud rate of 115200bps for the data transfer. It also comes equipped with the standard DB-9 connector, which makes interfacing with the RS232 simple and easy, and a red diode indicator labelled as INVALID indicates whether a valid RS232 signal is present or not.
This diode always indicates whether a valid RS232 signal is present at any of the receiver inputs, giving the user a way to determine when the interface block should power down. If the interface cable is disconnected from the DB-9 connector and all the receiver inputs are floating, the ICL3221 detects invalid levels turning the LED. Reconnecting the cable restores valid levels at the receiver inputs, the diode turns off, and the power management logic wakes up the interface block.
The RS232 Isolator 2 Click Board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before use with MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
