DESCRIPTION
The SP3243E products are 3 driver/5 receiver RS-232 transceiver solutions intended for portable
or hand-held applications such as notebook and palmtop computers. The SP3243E includes one
complementary receiver that remains alert to monitor an external device's Ring Indicate signal while
the device is shutdown. The SP3243E and EB devices feature slew-rate limited outputs for reduced
crosstalk and EMI. The "U" and "H" series are optimized for high speed with data rates up to 1Mbps,
easily meeting the demands of high speed RS-232 applications. The SP3243E series uses an internal
high-efficiency, charge-pump power supply that requires only 0.1µF capacitors in 3.3V operation. This
charge pump and Exar's driver architecture allow the SP3243E series to deliver compliant RS-232
performance from a single power supply ranging from +3.0V to +5.5V. 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.

SP3243E_100_072309
DESCRIPTION
In many portable or hand-held applications, an
RS-232 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 SP3243E transceivers meet the EIA/TIA232 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 SP3243E
devices feature Exar'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
SP3243EU devices can operate at a data rate
of 1000kbps fully loaded.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The SP3243E series is made up of four basic
circuit blocks:
1. Drivers
2. Receivers
3. the Exar proprietary charge pump, and
4. AUTO ON-LINE® circuitry.
The SP3243E is a 3-driver/5-receiver device,
ideal for portable or hand-held applications.
The SP3243E 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.
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-232-F and all previous
RS-232 versions. Unused drivers inputs should
be connected to GND or VCC.
The SP3243E series is an ideal choice for power
sensitive designs. The SP3243E devices feature
AUTO ON-LINE® circuitry which reduces the
power supply drain to a 1µA supply current.

Figure 11 shows a loopback test circuit used to
test the RS-232 Drivers. Figure 12 shows the
test results where one driver was active at 1Mbps
and all three drivers loaded with an RS-232 receiver in parallel with a 250pF capacitor. Figure
13 shows the test results of the loopback circuit
with all drivers active at 250kbps with typical
RS-232 loads in parallel with 1000pF capacitors. A
superior RS-232 data transmission rate of 1Mbps
makes the SP3243EU an ideal match for high
speed LAN and personal computer peripheral
applications.

Figure 11. Loopback Test Circuit for RS-232 Driver
Data Transmission Rates
The SP3243E 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 a Ring Indicator (RI) signal from a
peripheral to be monitored without forward
biasing the TTL/CMOS inputs of the other
devices connected to the receiver outputs.
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.

Charge Pump
The charge pump is a Exar–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.
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.
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.
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
greater than 250kHz. The external capacitors
can be as low as 0.1µF with a 16V breakdown
voltage rating.
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.
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 C3. 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.
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.

The Exar-patented charge pumps are designed
to operate reliably with a range of low cost
capacitors. Either polarized or non polarized
capacitors may be used. If polarized capacitors
are used they should be oriented as shown in
the Typical Operating Circuit. The V+ capacitor may be connected to either ground or Vcc
(polarity reversed.)
reduces ripple on the transmitter outputs and
may slightly reduce power consumption. C2,
C3, and C4 can be increased without changing
C1’s value.
For best charge pump efficiency locate the
charge pump and bypass capacitors as close
as possible to the IC. Surface mount capacitors
are best for this purpose. Using capacitors with
lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) and
self-inductance, along with minimizing parasitic
PCB trace inductance will optimize charge pump
operation. Designers are also advised to consider
that capacitor values may shift over time and
operating temperature.
The charge pump operates with 0.1µF capacitors
for 3.3V operation. For other supply voltages, see
the table for required capacitor values. Do not use
values smaller than those listed. Increasing the
capacitor values (e.g., by doubling in value)
AUTO ONLINE CIRCUITRY
The SP3243E 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 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 standy mode.
When ONLINE is HIGH, the AUTO ON-LINE®
mode is disabled.
The SP3243E 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 is 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.
The AUTO ON-LINE® circuit has two stages:
1) Inactive Detection
2) Accumulated Delay

Figure 14. AUTO ON-LINE® Timing Waveforms
The first stage, shown in Figure 21, 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.
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 SP3243E 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 second stage of the AUTO ON-LINE® circuitry,
shown in Figure 22, processes all the receiver's
RXINACT signals with an accumulated delay that
disables the device to a 1µA supply current.
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.
For easy programming, the STATUS can be
used to indicate DSR 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.
When the SP3243E 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 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 SP3243E driver and receiver outputs can be
found in Table 2.

SP3243E_100_072309
ESD Tolerance
current when the ESD source is applied to the
connector pins. The test circuit for IEC1000-4-2
is shown on Figure 24. There are two methods
within IEC1000-4-2, the Air Discharge method
and the Contact Discharge method.
The SP3243E 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 semi-conductors. 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 electro-static
energy and discharge it to an integrated circuit.
The simulation is performed by using a test
model as shown in Figure 23. 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 IEC1000-42 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 normal usage.

The circuit models in Figures 23 and 24 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.

For the Human Body Model, the current limiting
resistor (RS) and the source capacitor (CS) are

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.
