DESCRIPTION
The SP3223H and 3243H products are RS-232 transceiver solutions intended for portable or
hand-held applications such as notebook and palmtop computers. The "H" series is based on
Sipex's SP3223/3243 series and has been enhanced for high speed. The data rate is
improved to 460Kbps, easily meeting the demands of high speed RS-232 applications. The
SP3223H and 3243H 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 SP3223H/3243H series to deliver compliant RS-232 performance from a single power
supply ranging from +3.3V to +5.0V. The SP3223H is a 2-driver/2-receiver device, and the
SP3243H is a 3-driver/5-receiver device, ideal for laptop/notebook computer and PDA
applications. The SP3243H includes one complementary receiver that remains alert to
monitor an external device's Ring Indicate signal while the device is shutdown.
The Auto-Online 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 SP3223H and SP3243H series is an ideal
choice for power sensitive designs. The SP3223H
and SP3243H devices feature Auto-Online circuitry which reduces the power supply drain to a
1µA supply current. In many portable or handheld 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 SP3223H and SP3243H 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 SP3223H and SP3243H
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 SP3223H and SP3243H devices can operate at a data rate of 460Kbps fully loaded.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The SP3223H is a 2-driver/2-receiver device,
and the SP3243H is a 3-driver/5-receiver device,
ideal for portable or hand-held applications. The
SP3243H 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.
The SP3223H and SP3243H series is made up of
four basic circuit blocks: 1. Drivers,
2. Receivers, 3. the Sipex proprietary charge
pump, and 4. Auto-Online 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.

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.
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 SP3223H and SP3243H 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 SP3243H 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.
Rev. 6/30/03
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.

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 second stage of the Auto-Online circuitry,
shown in Figure 24, 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.
Auto-Online Circuitry
The SP3223H and SP3243H devices have a
patent pending Auto-Online circuitry on board
that saves power in applications such as laptop
computers, palmtop (PDA) computers and other
portable systems.
The SP3223H and SP3243H devices
incorporate an Auto-Online circuit that
automatically enables itself when the external
transmitters are enabled and the cable is
connected. Conversely, the Auto-Online 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-Online 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-Online mode is disabled.
When the SP3223H and SP3243H 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-Online mode can be disabled by the
SHUTDOWN pin. If this pin is a logic LOW,
the Auto-Online 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
SP3223H and SP3243H 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 SP3223H and SP3243H 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-Online circuit has two stages:
1) Inactive Detection
2) Accumulated Delay
The first stage, shown in Figure 23, 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.
Rev. 6/30/03
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-Online circuitry so this
connection acts like a shutdown input pin.

ESD TOLERANCE
The SP3223H/3243H 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 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 25. 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 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.
For the Human Body Model, the current limiting
resistor (RS) and the source capacitor (CS) are
1.5kΩ an 100pF, respectively.
