DESCRIPTION The SP207EH/208EH/211EH/213EH devices are high speed enhanced multi-channel RS-232 line transceivers with improved electrical performance. The SP207EH/208EH/ 211EH/213EH series is a superior drop-in replacement to our previous versions as well as popular industry standards. All devices feature low-power CMOS construction and the Sipex-patented (5,306,954) on-board charge pump circuitry that generates the +10V RS-232 voltage levels using 0.1µF charge pump capacitors. The SP211E and SP213E devices feature a low-power shutdown mode, which reduces power supply drain to 1µA. Enhancements to this series include a higher transmission rate of 500Kbps, a lower power supply current at 3mA typical (no load), and superior ESD performance. The ESD tolerance has been improved for this series to over +15kV for both Human Body Model and IEC1000-4-2 Air Discharge test methods.

FEATURES As in the original RS-232 multi-channel products, the SP207EH Series high speed multi-channel RS-232 line transceivers provide a variety of configurations to fit most designs, especially high speed applications where +12V is not available. The SP207EH Series is a superior high speed drop-in replacement to our previous versions as well as popular industry standards. All devices in this series feature low-power CMOS construction and Sipex's proprietary on-board charge pump circuitry to generate the +10V RS-232 voltage levels. The ability to use 0.1 µ F charge pump capacitors saves board space and reduces production costs. The devices in this series provide different driver/receiver combinations to match any application requirement. The SP211EH and SP213EH models feature a low–power shutdown mode, which reduces power supply drain to 1µA. The SP213EH includes a Wake-Up function which keeps two receivers active in the shutdown mode, unless disabled by the EN pin. The family is available in 28–pin SO (wide) and SSOP (shrink) small outline packages. Devices can be specified for commercial (0°C to +70°C) and industrial/extended (–40°C to +85°C) operating temperatures. THEORY OF OPERATION The SP207EH Series devices are made up of three basic circuit blocks — 1) transmitter/ driver, 2) receiver and 3) the SIPEX–proprietary charge pump. Each model within the Series incorporates variations of these circuits to achieve the desired configuration and performance.
VCC = +5V
Charge–Pump The charge pump is a Sipex–patented design (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 10V power supplies. Figure 3a shows the waveform found on the positive side of capacitor C2, and Figure 3b shows the negative side of capacitor C2. There is a free–running oscillator that 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 +5V. Cl+ is then switched to ground and the charge in C1– is transferred to C2–. Since C2+ is connected to +5V, the voltage potential across capacitor C2 is now 10V. 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 ground, and transfers the generated –l0V to C3. Simultaneously, the positive side of capacitor C 1 is switched to +5V and the negative side is connected to ground. Phase 3 — VDD charge storage — The third phase of the clock is identical to the first phase — the charge transferred in C1 produces –5V in the negative terminal of C1, which is applied to the negative side of capacitor C2. Since C2+ is at +5V, the voltage potential across C2 is l0V.

Phase 4 — VDD transfer — The fourth phase of the clock connects the negative terminal of C2 to ground, and transfers the generated l0V across C2 to C4, the VDD storage capacitor. Again, simultaneously with this, the positive side of capacitor C1 is switched to +5V and the negative side is connected to ground, and the cycle begins again. 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 15kHz. The external capacitors can be as low as 0.1µF with a 16V breakdown voltage rating. Transmitter/Driver The drivers of the SP207EH Series can maintain a typical data rate of 500Kbps. This superior RS-232 data transmission rate makes the SP207EH Series an ideal match for many
designs in personal computer peripherals and LAN applications that demand high speed performance. The drivers are inverting transmitters, which accept either TTL or CMOS inputs and output the RS-232 signals with an inverted sense relative to the input logic levels. Typically, the RS-232 output voltage swing is +9V with no load, and +5V minimum with full load. The transmitter outputs are protected against infinite short–circuits to ground without degradation in reliability. The drivers of the SP211EH, and SP213EH can be tri–stated by using the SHUTDOWN function. In the “power-off” state, the output impedance will remain greater than 300 ohms, again satisfying the RS-232 specifications. Should the input of the driver be left open, an internal 400Kohm pullup resistor to VCC forces the input high, thus committing the output to a low state. The slew rate of the transmitter 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.

Receivers The high performance receivers of the SP207EH Series can accept input signals at a typical data rate of 500Kbps. The receivers convert RS-232 input signals to inverted TTL signals. 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. Should an input be left unconnected, a 5kΩ pulldown resistor to ground will commit the output of the receiver to a high state. SHUTDOWN MODE The SP211EH, and SP213EH all feature a control input which will disable the device and reduce the power supply current to less than 10µA, making the parts ideal for battery– powered systems. In the “shutdown” mode the receivers and transmitters will both be tri–stated. The V+ output of the charge pump will discharge to VCC, and the V– output will discharge to ground. Products with the Wake-Up function can enable or disable the receivers during shutdown.
SP207EHDS/08
For complete shutdown to occur and the 10µA power drain to be realized, the following conditions must be met: SP211EH: • +5V must be applied to the SD pin • ENABLE must be either 0V, +5.0V or not connected • the transmitter inputs must be either +5.0V or not connected • VCC must be +5V • Receiver inputs must be >0V and 0V and
