The
SP202E/232E/233E/310E/312E
devices are a family of line driver and receiver pairs that
meet the specifications of RS-232 and V.28 serial protocols with enhanced ESD performance.
The ESD tolerance has been improved on these devices to over
±15KV
for both Human Body
Model and IEC1000-4-2 Air Discharge Method. These devices are pin-to-pin compatible with
Sipex's
SP232A/233A/310A/312A devices as well as popular industry standards. As with the
initial versions, the
SP202E/232E/233E/310E/312E
devices feature at least 120Kbps data rate
under load, 0.1µF charge pump capacitors, and overall ruggedness for commercial applications.
This family also features
Sipex's
BiCMOS design allowing low power operation without
sacrificing performance. The series is available in plastic DIP and SOIC packages operating over
the commercial and industrial temperature ranges.

FEATURES…
The
SP202E/232E/233E/310E/312E
devices
are a family of line driver and receiver pairs that
meet the specifications of RS-232 and V.28
serial protocols with enhanced ESD perfor-
mance. The ESD tolerance has been improved
on these devices to over
±15KV
for both Human
Body Model and IEC1000-4-2 Air Discharge
Method. These devices are pin-to-pin compat-
ible with
Sipex's
232A/233A/310A/312A
devices as well as popular industry standards.
As with the initial versions, the
SP202E/232E/
233E/310E/312E
devices feature10V/µs slew
rate, 120Kbps data rate under load, 0.1µF
charge pump capacitors, overall ruggedness
for commercial applications, and increased drive
current for longer and more flexible cable
configurations. This family also features
Sipex's
BiCMOS design allowing low power operation
without sacrificing performance.
The
SP202E/232E/233E/310E/312E
devices
have internal charge pump voltage converters
which allow them to operate from a single +5V
supply. The charge pumps will operate with
polarized or non-polarized capacitors ranging
from 0.1 to 10
µF
and will generate the
±6V
needed to generate the RS-232 output levels.
Both meet all EIA RS-232 and ITU V.28
specifications.
The
SP310E
provides identical features as the
SP232E
with a single control line which
simultaneously shuts down the internal DC/DC
converter and puts all transmitter and receiver
outputs into a high impedance state. The
SP312E
is identical to the
SP310E
with separate tri-state
and shutdown control lines.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The
SP232E, SP233E, SP310E
and
SP312E
devices are made up of three basic circuit blocks –
1) a driver/transmitter, 2) a receiver and 3) a charge
pump. Each block is described below.
Driver/Transmitter
The drivers are inverting transmitters, which ac-
cept TTL or CMOS inputs and output the RS-232
signals with an inverted sense relative to the input
logic levels. Typically the RS-232output voltage
swing is
±6V.
Even under worst case loading
conditions of 3kOhms and 2500pF, the output is
guaranteed to be
±5V,
which is consistent with the
RS-232 standard specifications. The transmitter
outputs are protected against infinite short-circuits
to ground without degradation in reliability.

The instantaneous slew rate of the transmitter
output is internally limited to a maximum of 30V/
µs
in order to meet the standards [EIA RS-232-D
2.1.7, Paragraph (5)]. However, the transition re-
gion slew rate of these enhanced products is typi-
cally 10V/µs. The smooth transition of the loaded
output from V
OL
to V
OH
clearly meets the mono-
tonicity requirements of the standard [EIA
RS-232-D 2.1.7, Paragraphs (1) & (2)].
Receivers
The receivers convert RS-232 input signals to
inverted TTL signals. Since the 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 500mV.
This ensures that the receiver is virtually immune
to noisy transmission lines.
The input thresholds are 0.8V minimum and 2.4V
maximum, again well within the
±3V
RS-232
requirements. The receiver inputs are also pro-
tected against voltages up to
±15V.
Should an
input be left unconnected, a 5KOhm pulldown
resistor to ground will commit the output of the
receiver to a high state.
