DESCRIPTION
The SP3220E device meets 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 SP3220E
device features 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 +3.0V to +5.5V
systems, or +5.0V-only systems that require true
RS-232 performance. The SP3220E device has
a driver that operates at a typical data rate of
235Kbps fully loaded.
The SP3220E is a 1-driver/1-receiver device
ideal for portable or hand-held applications.
The SP3220E 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.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The SP3220E device is made up of three basic
circuit blocks: 1. Drivers, 2. Receivers, and 3.
the Sipex proprietary charge pump.
Drivers
The drivers are inverting level transmitters that
convert TTL or CMOS logic levels to +5.0V
EIA/TIA-232 levels inverted relative to the
input logic levels. Typically, the RS-232 output
voltage swing is +5.5V with no load and at least
+5V minimum fully loaded. The driver outputs
are protected against infinite short-circuits to
ground without degradation in reliability. Driver
outputs will meet EIA/TIA-562 levels of +3.7V
with supply voltages as low as 2.7V.
The drivers typically can operate at a data rate
of 235Kbps. The drivers can guarantee a data
rate of 120Kbps fully loaded with 3K in
parallel with 1000pF, ensuring compatibility
with PC-to-PC communication software.
The slew rate of the driver output is internally
limited to a maximum of 30V/µs in order to meet
the EIA standards (EIA RS-232D 2.1.7,
Paragraph 5). The transition of the loaded output
from HIGH to LOW also meets the monotonicity
requirements of the standard.
The SP3220E driver can maintain high data
rates up to 235Kbps fully loaded. Figure 6 shows
a loopback test circuit used to test the
RS-232 driver. Figure 7 shows the test results of
the loopback circuit with the driver active at
120Kbps with an RS-232 load in parallel with a
1000pF capacitor. Figure 8 shows the test results
where the driver was active at 235Kbps and
loaded with an RS-232 receiver in parallel with
a 1000pF capacitor. A solid RS-232 data
transmission rate of 120Kbps provides
compatibility with many designs in personal
computer peripherals and LAN applications.
The SP3220E driver's output stage is turned off
(high-Z) when the device is in shutdown mode.
When the power is off, the SP3220E device
permits the outputs to be driven up to +12V. The
driver's input does not have pull-up resistors.
Designers should connect an unused input
to VCC or GND.
In the shutdown mode, the supply current falls to
less than 1µA, where SHDN = LOW. When the
SP3220E device is shut down, the device's
driver output is disabled (high-Z) and the charge
pump is turned off with V+ pulled down to VCC
and V- pulled to GND. The time required to exit
shutdown is typically 100µs. Connect SHDN to
VCC if the shutdown mode is not used. SHDN has
no effect on RxOUT. Note that the driver is
enabled only when the magnitude of V- exceeds
approximately 3V.

Receivers
The receiver converts EIA/TIA-232 levels to
TTL or CMOS logic output levels. The receiver
has an inverting high-impedance output. This
receiver output (RxOUT) is at high-impedance
when the enable control EN = HIGH. In the
shutdown mode, the receiver can be active or
inactive. EN has no effect on TxOUT. The truth
table logic of the SP3220E driver and receiver
outputs can be found in Table 2.
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 300mV.
This ensures that the receiver is virtually
immune to noisy transmission lines. Should an
input be left unconnected, a 5k pulldown
resistor to ground will commit the output of the
receiver to a HIGH state.
Charge Pump
The charge pump is a Sipex–patented design
(U.S. 5,306,954) and uses a unique approach
compared to older less–efficient 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.
In most circumstances, decoupling the power
supply can be achieved adequately using a 0.1µF
bypass capacitor at C5 (refer to Figures 5).
In applications that are sensitive to power-
supply noise, decouple VCC to ground with a
capacitor of the same value as charge-pump
capacitor C1. Physically connect bypass
capacitors as close to the IC as possible.
The charge pumps operate in a discontinuous
mode using an internal oscillator. If the output
voltages are less than a magnitude of 5.5V, the
charge pumps are enabled. If the output voltage
exceed a magnitude of 5.5V, the charge pumps
are disabled. This oscillator controls the four
phases of the voltage shifting. A description of
each phase follows.
Phase 1
— VSS charge storage — During this phase of
the clock cycle, the positive side of capacitors
C1 and C2 are initially charged to VCC. Cl+ is then
switched to GND and the charge in C1 is
transferred to C2. Since C2+ is connected to VCC,
the voltage potential across capacitor C2 is now
2 times VCC.
Phase 2
— VSS transfer — Phase two of the clock
connects the negative terminal of C2 to the VSS
storage capacitor and the positive terminal of C2
to GND. This transfers a negative generated
voltage to C3. This generated voltage is
regulated to a minimum voltage of -5.5V.
Simultaneous with the transfer of the voltage to
C3, the positive side of capacitor C1 is switched
to VCC and the negative side is connected to GND.
Phase 3
— VDD charge storage — The third phase of the
clock is identical to the first phase — the charge
transferred in C1 produces –VCC in the negative
terminal of C1, which is applied to the negative
side of capacitor C2. Since C2+ is at VCC, the
voltage potential across C2 is 2 times VCC.
11
11/07/02 SP3220E True +3.0 to +5.0V RS-232 Transceivers © Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation
Phase 4
— VDD transfer — The fourth phase of the clock
connects the negative terminal of C2 to GND,
and transfers this positive generated voltage
across C2 to C4, the VDD storage capacitor. This
voltage is regulated to +5.5V. At this voltage,
the internal oscillator is disabled. Simultaneous
with the transfer of the voltage to C4, the positive
side of capacitor C1 is switched to VCC and the
negative side is connected to GND, allowing the
charge pump cycle to begin again. The charge
pump cycle will continue as long as the
operational conditions for the internal oscillator
are present.
Since both V+ and V are separately generated
from VCC; in a no–load condition V+ and V will
be symmetrical. Older charge pump approaches
that generate V from V+ will show a decrease in
the magnitude of V compared to V+ due to the
inherent inefficiencies in the design.
The clock rate for the charge pump typically
operates at 250kHz. The external capacitors can
be as low as 0.1µF with a 16V breakdown
voltage rating.
ESD Tolerance
The SP3220E device incorporates ruggedized
ESD cells on all driver output and receiver
input pins. The ESD structure is improved over
our previous family for more rugged applications
and environments sensitive to electro-static
discharges and associated transients. The
improved ESD tolerance is at least +15kV
without damage nor latch-up.
There are different methods of ESD testing
applied: a) MIL-STD-883, Method 3015.7
b) IEC1000-4-2 Air-Discharge
c) IEC1000-4-2 Direct Contact
The Human Body Model has been the generally
accepted ESD testing method for semiconductors.
This method is also specified in MIL-STD-883,
Method 3015.7 for ESD testing. The premise of
this ESD test is to simulate the human body’s
potential to store electro-static energy and
discharge it to an integrated circuit. The
simulation is performed by using a test model as
shown in Figure 14. This method will test the
IC’s capability to withstand an ESD transient
during normal handling such as in manufacturing
areas where the ICs tend to be handled
frequently.
The IEC-1000-4-2, formerly IEC801-2, is
generally used for testing ESD on equipment
and systems. For system manufacturers, they
must guarantee a certain amount of ESD
protection since the system itself is exposed to
the outside environment and human presence.
The premise with IEC1000-4-2 is that the
system is required to withstand an amount of
static electricity when ESD is applied to points
and surfaces of the equipment that are
accessible to personnel during normal usage.
The transceiver IC receives most of the ESD
current when the ESD source is applied to the
connector pins. The test circuit for IEC1000-4-2
is shown on Figure 15. There are two methods
within IEC1000-4-2, the Air Discharge method
and the Contact Discharge method.
With the Air Discharge Method, an ESD
voltage is applied to the equipment under
test (EUT) through air. This simulates an
electrically charged person ready to connect a
cable onto the rear of the system only to find
an unpleasant zap just before the person
touches the back panel. The high energy
potential on the person discharges through
an arcing path to the rear panel of the system
before he or she even touches the system. This
energy, whether discharged directly or through
air, is predominantly a function of the discharge
current rather than the discharge voltage.
Variables with an air discharge such as
approach speed of the object carrying the ESD
potential to the system and humidity will tend to
change the discharge current. For example, the
rise time of the discharge current varies with
the approach speed.

Figure 15. ESD Test Circuit for IEC1000-4-2
The Contact Discharge Method applies the ESD
current directly to the EUT. This method was
devised to reduce the unpredictability of the
ESD arc. The discharge current rise time is
constant since the energy is directly transferred
without the air-gap arc. In situations such as
hand held systems, the ESD charge can be
directly discharged to the equipment from a
person already holding the equipment. The
current is transferred on to the keypad or the
serial port of the equipment directly and then
travels through the PCB and finally to the IC.
The circuit models in Figures 14 and 15
represent the typical ESD testing circuits used
for all three methods. The CS is initially charged
with the DC power supply when the first
switch (SW1) is on. Now that the capacitor is
charged, the second switch (SW2) is on while
SW1 switches off. The voltage stored in the
capacitor is then applied through RS, the current
limiting resistor, onto the device under test
(DUT). In ESD tests, the SW2 switch is pulsed
so that the device under test receives a duration
of voltage.

Table 3. Transceiver ESD Tolerance Levels
For the Human Body Model, the current
limiting resistor (RS) and the source capacitor
(CS) are 1.5k an 100pF, respectively. For
IEC-1000-4-2, the current limiting resistor (RS)
and the source capacitor (CS) are 330 an 150pF,
respectively.
The higher CS value and lower RS value in the
IEC1000-4-2 model are more stringent than the
Human Body Model. The larger storage
capacitor injects a higher voltage to the test
point when SW2 is switched on. The lower
current limiting resistor increases the current
charge onto the test point.
