SP3232EBEN-L/TR

The SP3222EB/3232EB series is an RS-232 transceiver solution intended for portable or hand-held applications such as notebook or palmtop computers. The SP3222EB/3232EB series has a high-efficiency, charge-pump power supply that requires only 0.1μF capacitors in 3.3V operation. This charge pump allows the SP3222EB/3232EB series to deliver true RS232 performance from a single power supply ranging from +3.0V to +5.5V. The SP3222EB/ 3232EB are 2-driver/2-receiver devices. This series is ideal for portable or hand-held applications such as notebook or palmtop computers. The ESD tolerance of the SP3222EB/ 3232EB devices are over ±15KV for both Human Body Model and IEC1000-4-2 Air discharge test methods. The SP3222EB device has a low-power shutdown mode where the devices' driver outputs and charge pumps are disabled. During shutdown, the supply current falls to less than 1μA. The SP3222EB/3232EB transceivers meet the EIA/TIA-232 and 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 SP3222EB/3232EB devices all feature Sipex's proprietary on-board charge pump circuitry that generates 2 x VCC for RS-232 voltage levels from a single +3.0V to +5.5V power supply. This series is ideal for +3.3V-only systems, mixed +3.3V to +5.5V systems, or +5.0V-only systems that require true RS-232 performance. The SP3222EB/3232EB series have drivers that operate at a typical data rate of 250kbps fully loaded. The SP3222EB and SP3232EB are 2-driver/2- receiver devices ideal for portable or hand-held applications. The SP3222EB features a 1μA shutdown mode that reduces power consumption and extends battery life in portable systems. Its receivers remain active in shutdown mode, allowing external devices such as modems to be monitored using only 1μA supply current.
