DESCRIPTION
The SP3223EU and 3243EU products are RS-232 transceiver solutions intended for portable or hand-
held applications such as notebook and palmtop computers. The "U" series is based on Sipex's
SP3223E/3243E series and has been enhanced for high speed. The data rate is improved to 1000kbps,
easily meeting the demands of high speed RS-232 applications. The SP3223EU and 3243EU 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 SP3223EU/3243EU series to
deliver compliant RS-232 performance from a single power supply ranging from +3.0V to +5.5V. The
SP3223EU is a 2-driver/2-receiver device, and the SP3243EU is a 3-driver/5-receiver device, ideal for
laptop/notebook computer and PDA applications. The SP3243EU 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
