The SP3282EB is compatible with low voltage logic down to 1.8V using a logic select pin (VL) which conditions the logic inputs and outputs to be compatible with system logic. The SP3282EB uses 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 SP3282EB device to deliver compliant RS-232 performance from a single +3.3V to +5.5Vpower supply and additionally adhere to EIA/TIA-562 driver outputs levels down to a power supply voltage of 2.35V. 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.

The SP3282EB device features 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 +3.3V to +5.5V power supply. The SP3282EB will adhere to EIA/TIA-562 voltage levels with VCC as low as 2.35V. THEORY OF OPERATION The SP3282EB device 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 , when VCC is between +3.3V and +5.5V, 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. The driver outputs will adhere to EIA/ TIA-562 when VCC is as low as 2.35V. The SP3282EB device is an ideal choice for power sensitive designs. The SP3282EB device features 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 SP3282EB drivers can guarantee a data rate of 250 kbps fully loaded with 3kΩ in parallel with 1000pF, ensuring compatibility with PC-to-PC communication software. All unused driver inputs must be connected to VL or GND. Figure 6 shows a loopback test circuit used to test the SP3282EB RS-232 drivers. Figure 7 shows the test results of the loopback circuit with all five drivers active at 120kbps with typical RS-232 loads in parallel with 1000pF capacitors. Figure 8 shows the test results where one driver was active at 250kbps and all five drivers loaded with an RS232 receiver in parallel with a 1000pF capacitor. A solid RS-232 data transmission rate of 120kbps provides compatibility with many designs in personal computer peripherals and LAN applications.

If there is no activity present at the receivers for a period longer than 100µs during AUTO ONLINE® mode or when SHUTDOWN is enabled, the device goes into a standby mode where the circuit draws 1µA.

Interface Circuitry Being Controlled by Microprocessor Supervisory Circuit Date: 02/24/05 SP3282EB Intelligent +2.35V to +5.5V RS-232 Transceivers 6 © Copyright 2005 Sipex Corporation 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.

The charge pump 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 +3.3V to +5.5V range. This is important to maintain compliant RS-232 levels regardless of power supply fluctuations. The charge pump will provide output voltage levels of ±4.0V when the input voltage (VCC) is from +3.1V to +2.35V. The charge pump operates in a discontinuous mode using an internal oscillator. If the output voltages are less than a magnitude of 5.5V ( VCC > 3.3V ) and 4.0V (VCC < 3.1V), the charge pump is enabled. If the output voltages exceed a magnitude of 5.5V (VCC > 3.3V) and 4.0V (VCC < 3.1V), the charge pump is disabled. This oscillator controls the four phases of the voltage shifting (Figure 10). A description of each phase follows. Phase 1 (Figure 11) 0.1µF TxOUT TxIN LOGIC INPUTS + RxIN 1000pF 5kΩ VCC ONLINE SHUTDOWN GND Figure 6.

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. — 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 clock rate for the charge pump typically operates at 500kHz. The external capacitors should be 0.22µF with a 16V working voltage rating for a VCC input range of +2.35V to +5.5V. Phase 2 (Figure 12) — 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 (VCC > 3.3V) and -4.0V (VCC < 3.1V). 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. Charge Pump Capacitor Selection The charge pump capacitors C1-C4 and bypass C5 can be of any type including ceramic. If polarized capacitors are used, refer to figure 3 application diagram for proper orientation. The following chart illustrates the minimum capacitor valve for a given input voltage range. Phase 3 (Figure 13) — 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. Phase 4 (Figure 14) — 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 (VCC > 3.3V) and +4.0V (VCC<3.1V). 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 theinternal oscillator are present.

AUTO ON-LINE® Logic AUTO ON-LINE® Circuitry The SP3282EB device has 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. 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 SP3282EB device incorporates 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 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 Date: 02/24/05 The AUTO ON-LINE® circuit has two stages: 1) Inactive Detection 2) Accumulated Delay The first stage, shown in Figure 15, detects an inactive input. A logic HIGH is asserted on RXINACT if the cable is disconnected or the SP3282EB Intelligent +2.35V to +5.5V RS-232 Transceivers 10 © Copyright 2005 Sipex Corporation a) MIL-STD-883, Method 3015.7 b) IEC1000-4-2 Air-Discharge c) IEC1000-4-2 Direct Contact external transmitters are disabled. Otherwise, RXINACT will be at a logic LOW. This circuit is duplicated for each of the other receivers. 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 18. 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. ON-LINE® The second stage of the AUTO circuitry, shown in Figure 16, 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, or when the external transmitters are disabled. When the 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 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 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 IEC10004-2 is shown on Figure 19. There are two methods within IEC1000-4-2, the Air Discharge method and the Contact Discharge method. 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 and the truth table logic of the driver and receiver outputs. When the SP3282EB device is shut down, the charge pump is 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. 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. For easy programming, the STATUS pin 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. ESD TOLERANCE The SP3282EB device 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 latchup. The Contact Discharge Method applies the ESD current directly to the EUT. This method was There are different methods of ESD testing applied: Date: 02/24/05 SP3282EB Intelligent +2.35V to +5.5V RS-232 Transceivers 11 © Copyright 2005 Sipex Corporation 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. i➙ 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. The circuit model in Figures 18 and 19 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 1.5kΩ an 100pF, respectively. For IEC-1000-4-2, the current limiting resistor (RS) and the source capacitor (CS) are 330Ω an 150pF, respectively. 30A 15A 0A t=0ns t=30ns t➙ Figure 20.
