Applications
The ICL232 may be used for all RS-232 data terminal and
communication links. It is particularly useful in applications
where ±12V power supplies are not available for conven-
tional RS-232 interface circuits. The applications presented
represent typical interface configurations.
A simple duplex RS-232 port with CTS/RTS handshaking is
illustrated in Figure 10. Fixed output signals such as DTR
(data terminal ready) and DSRS (data signaling rate select)
is generated by driving them through a 5kΩ resistor
connected to V+.

HANDSHAKING
In applications requiring four RS-232 inputs and outputs
(Figure 11), note that each circuit requires two charge pump
capacitors (C1 and C2) but can share common reservoir
capacitors (C3 and C4). The benefit of sharing common res-
ervoir capacitors is the elimination of two capacitors and the
reduction of the charge pump source impedance which
effectively increases the output swing of the transmitters.
