The SP3223EB and SP3243EB use an internal high-efficiency, charge-pump power supply that requires only 0.1µF capacitors in 3.3V operation. This charge pump and Sipex's driver architecture allow the SP3223EB/3243EB series to deliver compliant RS-232 performance from a single power supply ranging from +3.0V to +5.5V. The SP3223EB is a 2-driver/2-receiver device, and the SP3243EB is a 3-driver/5-receiver device ideal for laptop/notebook computer and PDA applications. The SP3243EB includes one complementary receiver that remains alert to monitor an external device's Ring Indicate signal while the device is shutdown. The AUTO ON-LINE® feature allows the device to automatically "wake-up" during a shutdown state when an RS-232 cable is connected and a connected peripheral is turned on. Otherwise, the device automatically shuts itself down drawing less than 1µA.

SP3243EB Typical Operating Circuit Date: 6/2/04 SP3223EB/3243EB +3.0V to +5.5V RS-232 Transceivers 9 © Copyright 2004 Sipex Corporation DESCRIPTION The SP3223EB and SP3243EB transceivers meet the EIA/TIA-232 and ITU-T V.28/V.24 communication protocols and can be implemented in battery-powered, portable, or hand-held applications such as notebook or palmtop computers. The SP3223EB and SP3243EB devices feature Sipex's proprietary and patented (U.S.-5,306,954) on-board charge pump circuitry that generates ±5.5V RS-232 voltage levels from a single +3.0V to +5.5V power supply. The SP3223EB and SP3243EB devices can operate at a data rate of 250kbps fully loaded. The SP3223EB and SP3243EB series is an ideal choice for power sensitive designs. The SP3223EB and SP3243EB devices feature AUTO ON-LINE® circuitry which reduces the power supply drain to a 1µA supply current. In many portable or hand-held applications, an RS232 cable can be disconnected or a connected peripheral can be turned off. Under these conditions, the internal charge pump and the drivers will be shut down. Otherwise, the system automatically comes online. This feature allows design engineers to address power saving concerns without major design changes. The SP3223EB is a 2-driver/2-receiver device, and the SP3243EB is a 3-driver/5-receiver device ideal for portable or hand-held applications. The SP3243EB includes one complementary always-active receiver that can monitor an external device (such as a modem) in shutdown. This aids in protecting the UART or serial controller IC by preventing forward biasing of the protection diodes where VCC may be disconnected. THEORY OF OPERATION The SP3223EB and SP3243EB series is made up of four basic circuit blocks: 1. Drivers, 2. Receivers, 3. the Sipex proprietary charge pump, and 4. AUTO ON-LINE® circuitry. Drivers The drivers are inverting level transmitters that convert TTL or CMOS logic levels to 5.0V EIA/ TIA-232 levels with an inverted sense relative to the input logic levels. Typically, the RS-232 output voltage swing is +5.4V with no load and +5V minimum fully loaded. The driver outputs are protected against infinite short-circuits to ground without degradation in reliability. These drivers comply with the EIA-TIA-232F and all previous RS-232 versions. Unused driver inputs should be connected to GND or VCC.

The transition of the loaded output from HIGH to LOW also meets the monotonicity requirements of the standard. Figure 16.

Loopback Test Circuit for RS-232 Driver Data Transmission Rates was active at 250kbps and all three drivers loaded with an RS-232 receiver in parallel with a 1000pF capacitor. A solid RS-232 data transmission rate of 250kbps provides compatibility with many designs in personal computer peripherals and LAN applications. The SP3223EB and SP3243EB drivers can maintain high data rates up to 250kbps fully loaded. Figure 17. shows a loopback test circuit used to test the SP3243EB RS-232 Drivers. Figure 18 shows the test results of the loopback circuit with all three drivers active at 120kbps with typical RS-232 loads in parallel with 1000pF capacitors. Figure 19 shows the test results where one driver Receivers The receivers convert ±5.0V EIA/TIA-232 levels to TTL or CMOS logic output levels. All receivers have an inverting output that can be disabled by using the EN pin. Figure 18.

Loopback Test Circuit One Driver at 250kbps SP3223EB/3243EB +3.0V to +5.5V RS-232 Transceivers 11 © Copyright 2004 Sipex Corporation The charge pump operates in a discontinuous mode using an internal oscillator. If the output voltages are less than a magnitude of 5.5V, the charge pump is enabled. If the output voltages exceed a magnitude of 5.5V, the charge pump is disabled. This oscillator controls the four phases of the voltage shifting. A description of each phase follows. Receivers are active when the AUTO ON-LINE® circuitry is enabled or when in shutdown. During the shutdown, the receivers will continue to be active. If there is no activity present at the receivers for a period longer than 100µs or when SHUTDOWN is enabled, the device goes into a standby mode where the circuit draws 1µA. Driving EN to a logic HIGH forces the outputs of the receivers into high-impedance. The truth table logic of the SP3223EB and SP3243EB driver and receiver outputs can be found in Table 2. Phase 1 — VSS charge storage — During this phase of the clock cycle, the positive side of capacitors C1 and C2 are initially charged to VCC. Cl+ is then switched to GND and the charge in C1– is transferred to C2–. Since C2+ is connected to VCC, the voltage potential across capacitor C2 is now 2 times VCC. The SP3243EB includes an additional non-inverting receiver with an output R2OUT. R2OUT is an extra output that remains active and monitors activity while the other receiver outputs are forced into high impedance. This allows Ring Indicator (RI) from a peripheral to be monitored without forward biasing the TTL/CMOS inputs of the other devices connected to the receiver outputs. Phase 2 — VSS transfer — Phase two of the clock connects the negative terminal of C2 to the VSS storage capacitor and the positive terminal of C2 to GND. This transfers a negative generated voltage to C 3. This generated voltage is regulated to a minimum voltage of -5.5V. Simultaneous with the transfer of the voltage to C3, the positive side of capacitor C1 is switched to VCC and the negative side is connected to GND. Since receiver input is usually from a transmission line where long cable lengths and system interference can degrade the signal, the inputs have a typical hysteresis margin of 300mV. This ensures that the receiver is virtually immune to noisy transmission lines. Should an input be left unconnected, an internal 5KΩ pulldown resistor to ground will commit the output of the receiver to a HIGH state. Phase 3 — VDD charge storage — The third phase of the clock is identical to the first phase — the charge transferred in C1 produces –VCC in the negative terminal of C1, which is applied to the negative side of capacitor C2. Since C2+ is at VCC, the voltage potential across C2 is 2 times VCC. Charge Pump The charge pump is a Sipex–patented design (U.S. 5,306,954) and uses a unique approach compared to older less–efficient designs. The charge pump still requires four external capacitors, but uses a four–phase voltage shifting technique to attain symmetrical 5.5V power supplies. The internal power supply consists of a regulated dual charge pump that provides output voltages 5.5V regardless of the input voltage (VCC) over the +3.0V to +5.5V range. This is important to maintain compliant RS-232 levels regardless of power supply fluctuations. Date: 6/2/04 Phase 4 — VDD transfer — The fourth phase of the clock connects the negative terminal of C2 to GND, and transfers this positive generated voltage across C2 to C4, the VDD storage capacitor. This voltage is regulated to +5.5V. At this voltage, the internal oscillator is disabled. Simultaneous with the transfer of the voltage to C4, the positive side of capacitor C1 is switched to VCC and the negative side is connected to GND, allowing the charge pump cycle to begin again. The charge pump cycle will continue as long as the operational conditions for the internal oscillator are present. SP3223EB/3243EB +3.0V to +5.5V RS-232 Transceivers 12 © Copyright 2004 Sipex Corporation Since both V+ and V– are separately generated from VCC, in a no–load condition V+ and V– will be symmetrical. Older charge pump approaches that generate V– from V+ will show a decrease in the magnitude of V– compared to V+ due to the inherent inefficiencies in the design. The clock rate for the charge pump typically operates at 250kHz. The external capacitors can be as low as 0.1µF with a 16V breakdown voltage rating.

The STATUS pin goes to a logic LOW when the cable is disconnected, the external transmitters are disabled, or the SHUTDOWN pin is invoked. The typical accumulated delay is around 20µs. AUTO ON-LINE® Circuitry The SP3223EB and SP3243EB devices have a patent pending AUTO ON-LINE® circuitry on board that saves power in applications such as laptop computers, palmtop (PDA) computers, and other portable systems. When the SP3223EB and SP3243EB drivers or internal charge pump are disabled, the supply current is reduced to 1µA. This can commonly occur in hand-held or portable applications where the RS-232 cable is disconnected or the RS-232 drivers of the connected peripheral are turned off. The SP3223EB and SP3243EB devices incorporate an AUTO ON-LINE® circuit that automatically enables itself when the external transmitters are enabled and the cable is connected. Conversely, the AUTO ON-LINE® circuit also disables most of the internal circuitry when the device is not being used and goes into a standby mode where the device typically draws 1µA. This function can also be externally controlled by the ONLINE pin. When this pin is tied to a logic LOW, the AUTO ON-LINE® function is active. Once active, the device is enabled until there is no activity on the receiver inputs. The receiver input typically sees at least ±3V, which are generated from the transmitters at the other end of the cable with a ±5V minimum. When the external transmitters are disabled or the cable is disconnected, the receiver inputs will be pulled down by their internal 5kΩ resistors to ground. When this occurs over a period of time, the internal transmitters will be disabled and the device goes into a shutdown or standby mode. When ONLINE is HIGH, the AUTO ON-LINE® mode is disabled. The AUTO ON-LINE® mode can be disabled by the SHUTDOWN pin. If this pin is a logic LOW, the AUTO ON-LINE® function will not operate regardless of the logic state of the ONLINE pin. Table 3 summarizes the logic of the AUTO ONLINE® operating modes. The truth table logic of the SP3223EB and SP3243EB driver and receiver outputs can be found in Table 2. The STATUS pin outputs a logic LOW signal if the device is shutdown. This pin goes to a logic HIGH when the external transmitters are enabled and the cable is connected. When the SP3223EB and SP3243EB devices are shut down, the charge pumps are turned off. V+ charge pump output decays to VCC, the V- output decays to GND. The decay time will depend on the size of capacitors used for the charge pump. Once in shutdown, the time required to exit the shut down state and have valid V+ and V- levels is typically 200µs. The AUTO ON-LINE® circuit has two stages: 1) Inactive Detection 2) Accumulated Delay The first stage, shown in Figure 28, detects an inactive input. A logic HIGH is asserted on RXINACT if the cable is disconnected or the external transmitters are disabled. Otherwise, RXINACT will be at a logic LOW. This circuit is duplicated for each of the other receivers. For easy programming, the STATUS can be used to indicate DTR or a Ring Indicator signal. Tying ONLINE and SHUTDOWN together will bypass the AUTO ON-LINE® circuitry so this connection acts like a shutdown input pin.

The transceiver IC receives most of the ESD current when the ESD source is applied to the connector pins. The test circuit for IEC1000-4-2 is shown on Figure 31. There are two methods within IEC1000-4-2, the Air Discharge method and the Contact Discharge method. ESD TOLERANCE The SP3223EB/3243EB series incorporates ruggedized ESD cells on all driver output and receiver input pins. The ESD structure is improved over our previous family for more rugged applications and environments sensitive to electro-static discharges and associated transients. The improved ESD tolerance is at least +15kV without damage nor latch-up. With the Air Discharge Method, an ESD voltage is applied to the equipment under test (EUT) through air. This simulates an electrically charged person ready to connect a cable onto the rear of the system only to find an unpleasant zap just before the person touches the back panel. The high energy potential on the person discharges through an arcing path to the rear panel of the system before he or she even touches the system. This energy, whether discharged directly or through air, is predominantly a function of the discharge current rather than the discharge voltage. Variables with an air discharge such as approach speed of the object carrying the ESD potential to the system and humidity will tend to change the discharge current. For example, the rise time of the discharge current varies with the approach speed. There are different methods of ESD testing applied: a) MIL-STD-883, Method 3015.7 b) IEC1000-4-2 Air-Discharge c) IEC1000-4-2 Direct Contact The Human Body Model has been the generally accepted ESD testing method for semiconductors. This method is also specified in MIL-STD-883, Method 3015.7 for ESD testing. The premise of this ESD test is to simulate the human body’s potential to store electrostatic energy and discharge it to an integrated circuit. The simulation is performed by using a test model as shown in Figure 30. This method will test the IC’s capability to withstand an ESD transient during normal handling such as in manufacturing areas where the ICs tend to be handled frequently. The Contact Discharge Method applies the ESD current directly to the EUT. This method was devised to reduce the unpredictability of the ESD arc. The discharge current rise time is constant since the energy is directly transferred without the air-gap arc. In situations such as hand held systems, the ESD charge can be directly discharged to the equipment from a person already holding the equipment. The current is transferred on to the keypad or the serial port of the equipment directly and then travels through the PCB and finally to the IC. The IEC-1000-4-2, formerly IEC801-2, is generally used for testing ESD on equipment and systems. For system manufacturers, they must guarantee a certain amount of ESD protection since the system itself is exposed to the outside environment and human presence. The premise with IEC1000-4-2 is that the system is required to withstand an amount of static electricity when ESD is applied to points and surfaces of the equipment that are accessible to personnel during R RSS R RC C SW2 SW2 SW1 SW1 C CSS DC Power Source Device Under Test Figure 30.

Figure 31. ESD Test Circuit for IEC1000-4-2 i➙ The circuit model in Figures 29 and 30 represent the typical ESD testing circuit used for all three methods. The CS is initially charged with the DC power supply when the first switch (SW1) is on. Now that the capacitor is charged, the second switch (SW2) is on while SW1 switches off. The voltage stored in the capacitor is then applied through RS, the current limiting resistor, onto the device under test (DUT). In ESD tests, the SW2 switch is pulsed so that the device under test receives a duration of voltage. 30A 15A 0A For the Human Body Model, the current limiting resistor (RS) and the source capacitor (CS) are 1.5kΩ an 100pF, respectively. For IEC-1000-42, the current limiting resistor (RS) and the source capacitor (CS) are 330Ω an 150pF, respectively. t=0ns t➙ t=30ns Figure 32. ESD Test Waveform for IEC1000-4-2 The higher CS value and lower RS value in the IEC1000-4-2 model are more stringent than the Human Body Model. The larger storage capacitor injects a higher voltage to the test point when SW2 is switched on. The lower current limiting resistor increases the current charge onto the test point.
