DESCRIPTION
The SP3223EU and 3243EU products are RS-232 transceiver solutions intended for portable or handheld applications such as notebook and palmtop computers. The "U" series is based on Sipex's
SP3223E/3243E series and has been enhanced for high speed. The data rate is improved to 1000kbps,
easily meeting the demands of high speed RS-232 applications. The SP3223EU and 3243EU 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 SP3223EU/3243EU series to
deliver compliant RS-232 performance from a single power supply ranging from +3.0V to +5.5V. The
SP3223EU is a 2-driver/2-receiver device, and the SP3243EU is a 3-driver/5-receiver device, ideal for
laptop/notebook computer and PDA applications. The SP3243EU 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.

DESCRIPTION
The SP3223EU and SP3243EU 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 SP3223EU and
SP3243EU 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 SP3223EU and SP3243EU
devices can operate at a data rate of 1000kbps
fully loaded.
The SP3223EU and SP3243EU series is an ideal
choice for power sensitive designs. The
SP3223EU and SP3243EU 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 SP3223EU is a 2-driver/2-receiver device,
and the SP3243EU is a 3-driver/5-receiver device,
ideal for portable or hand-held applications. The
SP3243EU 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 SP3223EU and SP3243EU 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-232-F and all
previous RS-232 versions. Unused drivers inputs should be connected to GND or VCC.

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 SP3223EU and SP3243EU
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 SP3243EU 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: 06/28/04
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.

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.
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 second stage of the AUTO ON-LINE® circuitry, shown in Figure 29, processes all the
receiver's RXINACT signals with an accumulated delay that disables the device to a 1µA
supply current.
AUTO ON-LINE® Circuitry
The SP3223EU and SP3243EU 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.
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.
The SP3223EU and SP3243EU 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
1mA. 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 standy mode. When ONLINE
is HIGH, the AUTO ON-LINE® mode is disabled.
When the SP3223EU and SP3243EU 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 SP3223EU and SP3243EU 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 SP3223EU and SP3243EU 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.
Date: 06/28/04
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.

normal usage. 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 SP3223EU/3243EU 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 electro-static
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

The circuit models in Figures30 and 31 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.

The higher CS value and lower RS value in 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.
