routers. These multi-protocol systems will usually contain multiple ports to accommodate the
different interfaces. The SP504 can support all
the ports through software and provide convenient DTE or DCE functionality to the port. DTE
and DCE configuration is provided on the next
page and also in the SP504 data sheet.
The introduction of our SP502 transceiver paved
the way for a new generation of multi-mode
transceivers that are being designed into next
generation networking products. The SP504
multi-mode transceiver is the latest member of
the family and offers: reduced external V.35
termination; V.36 & EIA-530A modes; and
receiver tri-state and fail-safe ability.
The designer can evaluate the SP504 with
our SP504 Evaluation Board. This evaluation
board basically allows the user to access the
pins directly through probe points on the board.
The designer can also access the device by
software through the three serial port connectors on the board. Details on the evaluation
board can be found in the SP504 data sheet.
As with the SP502 and SP503, the SP504 can be
programmed via software to the different available physical protocols and is also drop-in compatible with its predecessors.
The versatility of the SP504 is ideal for multiprotocol applications such as Frame Relay systems, X.25 routers/switches and multi-protocol

* - Please note that the ProTek transient
voltage suppressors should also be connected to the other SP504 drivers and receivers in the same configuration as shown
above.
Although the SP504 is internally protected for ESD
and overvoltage, an external transient voltage suppression circuit can be added to increase the level of
protection of the device. This may be desired for
greater ESD protection or clamping the input or output voltages. The maximum driver output and receiver input voltages should not exceed ±15V.
SM16LC15C TVS devices to protect the receiver inputs and the driver outputs since these pins are directly exposed to the connector and the outside world.
The Vwm of the TVS can be as low as 5V and high as
15V to cover the RS-232 voltage levels. However,
the RS-232 3kΩ to 7kΩ input impedance will not
comply if the voltage levels exceed the clamping
voltage of the TVS.

Please note that most of the V.35 termination
resistors are internal to the SP504. As such, the
driver output impedance during tri-state is
approximately 20kΩ. This should not affect or
degrade the incoming driver signal from the
other end. Refer to the waveform graphs in the
next few pages. The "DTE" waveforms capture the driver and receiver signals at the serial
port containing the two SP504 devices. The
"DCE" waveforms are measured in the SP504
at the other end. For example, the TxD driver
output on the DCE side corresponds to the RxD
receiver on the DTE side (side containing two
SP504 devices). Similarly, the TxC driver output on the DTE side should be the same as the
RxC receiver input on the DCE side.
SP504 - DTE/DCE Configuration
Many systems may require the serial port to be
configured as either a DTE or DCE. The SP504
is an ideal candidate for a space saving DTE/
DCE solution.
To perform this with the SP504, the driver outputs of the first SP504 are connected back into
the receiver inputs of the second SP504, and
vice versa. The common input/output lines can
be routed to the connector and be used as either driver outputs or receiver inputs. Refer to
the following page for configuration details.
When the two SP504 devices are connected as
such, one device must be disabled while the
other is transmitting and receiving data. Disabling one of the SP504 devices allows the
other to communicate over the serial bus. One
is dedicated to a DTE configuration to the serial port and the other is a dedicated DCE device. Disabling the DTE device implies that
the serial port will be configured as a DCE, and
vice versa.
Even though the signal is not degraded, the
lower impedance basically adds the driver output impedance (20kΩ) and the receiver input
impedance in parallel. When the active SP504
is configured to RS-232 mode, the typical receiver input impedance is 5kΩ which will yield
4kΩ. When in the other modes except V.35,
the typical input impedance is 15kΩ which
yields 7.5kΩ when the receivers are configured
in differential mode (i.e. RS-422, RS-449, V.36,
etc.) which is still greater than the 4kΩ minimum requirement for RS-422 and RS-423. The
input impedance for the V.35 receiver is typically 100Ω. The driver tri-state impedance will
decrease the input approximately 0.5Ω to 1Ω
given that the external 150Ω termination resistor is switched off or disconnected from the noninverting driver output of the disabled SP504.
Disabling the SP504 drivers are important because a bus contention problem can occur if
two drivers are active at the same time. The
drivers of the nonactive SP504 must be tristated by writing "0000" into the driver decoder
(TDECX) lines when the I/O lines are used as
inputs into the receivers. The receivers do not
have to be tri-stated but should be configured
so that the receiver input impedance is relatively high (≥12kΩ) such as RS-422 or RS-485.
The receiver inputs will not affect the signals
on the driver outputs if the input impedance is
at least 12kΩ. If the RDECX is configured with
"0000", the input impedance defaults to at least
12kΩ.
SP504AN
This configuration will allow the proper data
communications between DTE and DCE. However for NET1/NET2 certification testing, the
driver outputs must be physically disconnected
from the receiver inputs. The common I/O paths
will interfere with various impedance and current testing for the driver or receiver in V.28,
V.11 and V.35 modes.
SP504 Application Note

The tri-state enable and disable timing must be
considered. Given two systems, each configured in DTE/DCE operation, containing two
SP504’s each, System 1 is the DTE, and
System 2 is the DCE. Assume System 1 is now
configured to a DCE and System 2 is configured to a DTE; the two SP504 devices within
each system will have to switch states. If
System 1 switches to DCE before System 2
tri-states its driver, the bus will share driver
outputs until System 2 switches to DTE, thus
causing bus contention problems. In both
systems, the active SP504 should be tri-stated
first before enabling the tri-stated SP504. Although the bus contention will not damage the
SP504 devices, it should be avoided to prevent
short circuit currents at the driver outputs.
One last consideration for DTE/DCE hookup is
the charge pump capacitors. Many have inquired about sharing the 22µF caps. For a minimal requirement, the C1 and C2 capacitors must
be separate for each SP504 device. Although
this can be functionally done, Sipex does not
recommend this practice. Please be aware that
if one SP504 becomes nonfunctional, it can
affect the other SP504 as well.

SP504 - Switching the 150Ω V.35 Termination Resistor
"mini" cable will have to be routed to the appropriate end on the DTE V.35 cable. (ie. pin S, pin
W and the unassigned pin will be routed to pin
T, pin X and pin AA, respectively, on the DTE
end.)
The SP504 requires one 150Ω resistor to ground
on each non-inverting (b) driver output. The
150Ω resistor to ground is necessary to comply
with the V.35 short circuit impedance of
150Ω±15Ω. The resistors will need to be
switched out when V.35 mode is not active. To
perform this, the designer can use one of two
methods: add a relay or switch in series with the
resistor or implant the resistors inside the V.35
cable.
Another method is to include the 150Ω resistors
on the printed circuit board with the SP504 adding switches or relays. This method may be preferred if a common connector/cable (ie.
DB-25) is used for V.35 and some other mode.
The switches must have low on-resistance, preferably less than 1Ω. NMOS FETs can be used
as configured on the opposite page. The gate of
the NMOS device is connected to pin 18 of the
SP504. This pin is HIGH when the SP504 is in
V.35 mode and goes LOW in all other modes.
Pin 18 is not described in the data sheet for the
SP504 but can be used to control the switching
of the FETs or relays.
Adding the resistors to the cable is relatively
easy. In DTE mode, two drivers are usually active, therefore you will only need two resistors.
The 150Ω resistors can be connected individually from pin S (data) to signal ground (pin B)
and pin W (clock) to signal ground (pin B) of
the V.35 ISO-2593 connector.
For DCE applications, an additional driver may
be used for a secondary clock signal. If a cable
is used on the DCE end, a conversion or "mini"
cable is necessary to insert the resistors and route
the proper signals to the DTE cable. The resistors can be connected from pin S (data), pin W
(clock) and an unassigned pin (2nd clock) to signal ground, pin B. Of course the pins on the
Sipex recommends Siliconix's LITTLE FOOT™
MOSFET devices such as the Si9959DY™ Dual
N-Channel Enhancement-Mode MOSFET. The
rDS(on) is typically less than 0.3Ω and the devices
are in 8-pin SOIC packages.
