All are ideal for computer peripherals, point-of-sale equipment, consumer and embedded applications. These devices use an internal high-efficiency, charge-pump power supply that requires only 0.1F capacitors in 3.3V operation. This charge pump and Sipex's driver architecture allow it to deliver compliant RS-232 performance from a single power supply ranging from +3.0V to +5.5V. At voltages between 2.7V and 3.0V the driver outputs are compliant with RS-562 and can interface to RS-232 over short cables. The Auto On-line(R) Plus feature allows the device to automatically "wake-up" during a shutdown state upon detecting activity and to enter a low power shutdown if idle. This power saving feature functions without system intervention or modifications to software or drivers.

Receiver Enable and Disable Times Rev P 11/20/06 SP3224E-SP3227E Transceivers with Auto On-line 10 (R) Plus (c) 2006 Sipex Corporation THEORY OF OPERATION rates fully loaded with 3K in parallel with 1000pF (SP3224E/SP3226E), or 3K in parallel with 250pF (SP3225E/SP3227E) ensuring compatibility with PC-to-PC communication software. The slew rate of the driver output on the SP3224E/SP3226E is internally limited to a maximum of 30V/s in order to meet the EIA standards (EIA RS-232D 2.1.7, Paragraph 5). The Slew Rate of SP3225E/SP3227E is not limited to enable higher speed data transfers. The transition of the loaded output from HIGH to LOW also meets the monotonic signal transition requirements of the standard. Description The SP3224E and SP3225E are 2-driver/ 2-receiver devices. The SP3226E and SP3227E are 1-driver/1-receiver devices. All are ideal for serial ports in embedded, consumer, portable, or handheld applications. The transceivers meet the EIA/TIA232 and ITU-T V.28/V.24 communication protocols for reliable serial communication. The devices feature 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 +3.0V to +5.5V power supply. The SP3224E-SP3227E are ideal choices for power sensitive designs. With the Auto On-line(R) Plus enabled, the SP3224ESP3227E reduce supply current to 1A whenever the transceivers are in idle. In shutdown, the internal charge pump and the drivers will shut down. This feature allows design engineers to address power saving concerns without major design changes. Receivers The receivers convert EIA/TIA-232 signal levels to TTL or CMOS logic output levels. Receivers remain active during device shutdown. 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 500mV. This ensures that the receiver is virtually immune to noisy transmission lines. Should an input be left unconnected, an internal 5K pulldown resistor to ground will commit the output of the receiver to a HIGH state. Theory Of Operation The SP3224E-SP3227E are made up of four basic circuit blocks: 1. Drivers, 2. Receivers, 3. the Sipex proprietary charge pump, and 4. Auto On-line(R) Plus circuitry. Charge Pump The charge pump is a Sipex-patented design (US Patent #5,306,954) and uses a unique approach compared to older lessefficient designs. The charge pump still requires four external capacitors, but 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 +3.0V to +5.5V range. This is important to maintain compliant RS-232 levels regardless of power supply fluctuations. The charge pump operates in a discontinuous mode using an internal oscillator. If the output voltages are less than a magnitude Drivers The drivers are inverting level transmitters that 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-TIA232-F and all previous RS-232 versions. Unused driver inputs should be connected to GND or VCC. The drivers can guarantee output data Rev P 11/20/06 SP3224E-SP3227E Transceivers with Auto On-line 11 (R) Plus (c) 2006 Sipex Corporation THEORY OF OPERATION is identical to the first phase. The positive terminals of capacitors C1 and C2 are charged from VCC with their negative terminals initially connected to ground. C1+ is then connected to ground and the stored charge from C1- is superimposed onto C2-. Since C2+ is still connected to VCC the voltage potential across capacitor C2 is now 2 x VCC. of 5.5V, the charge pump is enabled. If the output voltages exceed a magnitude of 5.5V, the charge pump is disabled. This oscillator controls the four phases of the voltage shifting. A description of each phase follows. Highly Efficient Charge Pump The charge pump is used to generate positive and negative signal voltages for the RS-232 drivers. This enables fully compliant RS-232 and V.28 signals from a single 3.0 or 5.5V power supply. Phase 4 VDD transfer: The fourth phase connects the negative terminal of C2 to ground and the positive terminal of C2 to the VDD storage capacitor. This transfers the doubled (V+) voltage onto C3. Meanwhile, capacitor C1 charged from VCC to prepare it for its next phase. The charge pumps use four external capacitors to hold and transfer electrical charge. The Sipex patented design (US Patent #5,306,954) uses a unique approach compared to older less efficient designs. The pumps use a four-phase voltage shifting technique to attain symmetrical V+ and Vpower supplies. An intelligent control oscillator regulates the operation of the charge pump to maintain the proper voltages at maximum efficiency. The Sipex charge pump generates V+ and V- independently from VCC. Hence in a noload condition V+ and V- will be symmetrical. Older charge pump approaches generate V+ and then use part of that stored charge to generate V-. Because of inherent losses the magnitude of V- will be smaller than V+ on these older designs. Phase 1 VSS charge store and double: The positive terminals of capacitors C1 and C2 are charged from VCC with their negative terminals initially connected to ground. C1+ is then connected to ground and the stored charge from C1- is superimposed onto C2- . Since C2+ is still connected to VCC the voltage potential across capacitor C2 is now 2 x VCC. Under lightly loaded conditions the intelligent pump oscillator maximizes efficiency by running only as needed to maintain V+ and V-. Since interface transceivers often spend much of their time at idle this powerefficient innovation can greatly reduce total power consumption. This improvement is made possible by the independent phase sequence of the Sipex charge pump design. Phase 2 VSS transfer and invert: Phase two connects the negative terminal of C2 to the VSS storage capacitor and the positive terminal of C2 to ground. This transfers the doubled and inverted (V-) voltage onto C4. Meanwhile, capacitor C1 charged from VCC to prepare it for its next phase. The clock rate for the charge pump typically operates at greater than 70kHz allowing the pump to run efficiently with small 0.1F capacitors. Efficient operation depends on rapidly charging and discharging C1 and C2, therefore capacitors should be mounted close to the IC and have low ESR (equivalent series resistance). Inexpensive surface mount ceramic capacitors (such as Phase 3 VDD charge store and double: Phase three Rev P 11/20/06 SP3224E-SP3227E Transceivers with Auto On-line 12 (R) Plus (c) 2006 Sipex Corporation THEORY OF OPERATION The SP3224E-SP3227E devices have the advanced Auto On-Line(R) Plus feature RS-232 signals use both positive and negative voltages of greater than 5V magnitude. Receivers have nominal 5k impedance to ground. Even when idle, drivers will maintain output signal voltage creating a continuous current flow. In low power, battery operated devices this constant current drain can decrease battery life significantly. are widely used for power-supply decoupling) are ideal for use on the charge pump. The charge pumps are designed to be able to function properly with a wide range of capacitor styles and values. If polarized capacitors are used the positive and negative terminals should be connected as shown on the Typical Operating Circuit. Capacitance values may be increased if operating at higher VCC or to provide greater stability as the capacitors age. + V CC - Phase 2 - Vss transfer from C2 to C4.

Auto On-line(R) Plus is equivalent to Maxim's "Auto Shutdown Plus" feature. It differs from our existing Auto On-line(R) by relying on signal transitions rather than voltage levels to trigger shutdown and wakeup. Auto On-Line(R) Plus automatically puts the device into a standby mode where it draws only 1A typical. When the device detects activity on either the receiver or driver inputs it will automatically awake and activate to allow serial communication. Both the wakeup lifeand shutdown happen automatisignificantly. logic LOW forces the device into shutdown state regardless of input activity or the status of the ONLINE pin. The STATUS output determines whether a valid RS-232 signal voltage is present on the inputs. The STATUS pin goes to a logic LOW when the receiver input signal levels collapse near reference ground. This may occur when the RS-232 cable is disconnected or the RS-232 drivers of the connected peripheral are turned off. STATUS may be used to indicate DTR or a Ring Indicator signal or to determine whether a live RS232 driver or cable is connected. By connecting the STATUS output to ONLINE input, the SP3224E-SP3227E will shut down when no valid signal level and no input transitions are detected, and wake up on a valid signal level or signal edge. If it detects no signal transitions with the past 30 Receiver 5k +0.3V R_IN -0.3V 30s timer STATUS T_IN EDGE DETECT R_IN EDGE DETECT INVALID ASSERTED IF ALL RECEIVER INPUTS ARE BETWEEN +0.3V AND -0.3V FOR AT LEAST 30S +2.7V -2.7V S 30s timer A AUTO ONLINE ONLINE Figure 3a.STATUS Functional Diagram STATUS low R_IN SHUTDOWN Figure 3c.

By connecting the STATUS output to both the ONLINE input and SHUTDOWN input pins, the device enters into shutdown when not receiving a valid RS-232 signal voltage input. Wakeup and shutdown can be externally controlled by the ONLINE and SHUTDOWN pins. When ONLINE is driven to logic LOW, the Auto On-line(R) Plus function is active. Driving SHUTDOWN to Rev P 11/20/06 When the SP3224E-SP3227E devices are SP3224E-SP3227E Transceivers with Auto On-line 14 (R) Plus (c) 2006 Sipex Corporation THEORY OF OPERATION shut down, the charge pumps are 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 shutdown state and have valid V+ and V- levels is typically 50s. When the SP3224E-SP3227E drivers and internal charge pump are disabled, the supply current is reduced to 1A. Auto On-Line (existing) Device enters low-power mode if receiver inputs see less than valid +/- 3V. STATUS (or INVALID) signal output indicates if valid signal voltage is at receivers. Auto On-Line Plus (new) Device enters low-power mode if driver inputs or receiver inputs see no transitions for 30 seconds. Return to full power mode upon any transition on any driver input or receiver input Shutdown occurs even if data cable is connected to an active driver, as long as all inputs remain unchanged STATUS (or INVALID) signal functions as before. Indicates if valid signal voltage is present. But has no effect on shutdown For SP3224E the EN input is replaced with a READY output. READY drives high when charge pump achieves greater than -4V Vss (V-). Indicates "ready to transmit."
