DESCRIPTION
The
SP3223
and
SP3243
products are RS-232 transceiver solutions intended for portable or
hand-held applications such as notebook and palmtop computers. The
SP3223
and
SP3243
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
SP3223/
SP3243
series to deliver compliant RS-232 performance from a single power supply ranging
from +3.3V to +5.0V. The
SP3223
is a 2-driver/2-receiver device, and the
SP3243
is a
3-driver/5-receiver device ideal for laptop/notebook computer and PDA applications.
The
SP3243
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.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
These are stress ratings only and functional operation
of the device at these ratings or any other above those
indicated in the operation sections of the specifications
below is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum
