The SP230A, SP235A/B, SP236A/B, SP240A/B, and SP241A/B feature a shutdown mode which reduces device power dissipation to less than 5µW. All feature low power CMOS operation, which is particularly beneficial in batterypowered systems. The SP235A/B use no external components and are ideally suited where printed circuit board space is limited. All products in the Series include two charge pump voltage converters which allow them to operate from a single +5V supply. These converters convert the +5V input power to the ±10V needed to generate the RS-232 output levels. An internal charge pump converter produces the necessary –12V supply. All drivers and receivers meet all EIA RS-232D and CCITT V.28 specifications. The Series are available for use over the commercial, industrial and military temperature ranges. They are packaged in plastic DIP and SOIC packages. For product processed and screened to MIL–M–38510 and MIL–STD–883C requirements, please consult the factory. THEORY OF OPERATION The SP230A/B–241A/B series devices are made up of three basic circuit blocks – 1) transmitter, 2) receiver and 3) charge pump. Each model within the series incorporates variations of these circuits to achieve the desired configuration and performance. Driver/Transmitter The drivers are inverting transmitters, which accept 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. Even under worst-case loading conditions of 3kΩ 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 drivers of the SP230A, SP235A/B, SP236A/B, SP240A/B and SP241A/B can be tri-stated by using the SHUTDOWN function. In this “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 400kΩ pull–up 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 20kbps 100kbps 10Mbps 10Mbps 64kbps Table 1.

The transition of the loaded output from VOL to VOH clearly meets the monotonicity 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 protected against voltages up to ±30V. Should an input be left unconnected, a 5kΩ pulldown resistor to ground will commit the output of the receiver to a high state. In actual system applications, it is quite possible for signals to be applied to the receiver inputs before power is applied to the receiver circuitry. This occurs, for example, when a PC user attempts to print, only to realize the printer wasn’t turned on. In this case an RS-232 signal from the PC will appear on the receiver input at the printer. When the printer power is turned on, the receiver will operate normally. All series devices are fully protected. Again, to facilitate use in “real-world” applications, the receiver outputs can be tri–stated by bringing the ENABLE (EN) pin high, with the driver remaining full active.

The charge pump consists of two sections — 1) a voltage doubler and 2) a voltage inverter. As shown in Figure 1, an internal oscillator triggers the charge accumulation and voltage inversion. The voltage doubler momentarily stores a charge on capacitor C1 equal to VCC, reference to ground. During the next transition of the oscillator this charge is boot–strapped to transfer charge to capacitor C3. The voltage across C3 is now from VCC to V+. In the inverter section (Figure 2), the voltage across C3 is transferred to C2 forcing a range of 0V to V+ across C2. Boot–strapping of C2 will then transfer charge to C4 to generate V-. The values of the capacitors are somewhat non-critical and can be varied, however the performance will be affected. As C3 and C4 are reduced, higher levels of ripple will appear. Lower values of C1 and C2 will increase the 10.5 10.0 9.5 9.0 8.5 V- (Abs.) 8.0 7.5 7.0 6.5 6.0 5.5 5.0 0 5 10 15 20 25 V =5.5V CC 8.0 7.5 7.0 6.5 V =5V CC VCC=4.5V V =5.5V CC V =5V CC VCC=4.5V 6.0 5.5 5.0 30 35 40 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 a) V+ IOUT (mA) b) V- I OUT (mA) Charge Pump Output Loading versus VCC; a) V+; b) V– Date: 8/3/04 + 5V Powered Multi-Channel RS-232 Drivers/Receivers © Copyright 2004 Sipex Corporation 7 SD 0 0 1 1 EN 0 1 0 1 Power Up/Down Up Up Down Down Receiver Outputs Enable Tri–state Enable Tri–state Table 2. Wake–Up Truth Table ENABLE Input (EN) The SP235A/B, SP236A/B, SP240A/B, and SP241A/B all feature an enable input (EN), which allows the receiver outputs to be either tri–stated or enabled. The enable input is active low; 0V applied to EN will enable the receiver outputs. This can be especially useful when the receiver is tied directly to a microprocessor data bus. Protection From Shorts to >± 15V The driver outputs are protected against shorts to ground, other driver outputs, and V+ or V-. For protection against voltages exceeding ±15V, two back–to–back zener diodes connected to clamp the outputs to an acceptable voltage level are recommended. (Refer to Figure 3.) Improved Drive Capability for Mouse Applications Each of the devices in this data sheet have improved drive capability for non-standard applications. Although the EIA RS-232D standards specify the maximum loading to be 3kΩ and 2500pF, the SP230A, SP234A, SP235A/B, SP236A/B, SP237A, SP238A, SP240A/B, and SP241A/B can typically drive loads as low as 1kΩ and still maintain ±5V outputs. This feature is especially useful when the serial port is intended to be used for a “self-powered” mouse. In this case the voltage necessary to operate the circuits in the mouse can be derived from the RS-232 driver output as long as the loading is ≥1kΩ (refer to Figure 4). For applications which even exceed this requirement, drivers can be connected in parallel, increasing the drive capability to 750Ω, while maintaining the ±5V VOH and VOL levels (refer to Figure 5). output impedance of V+ and V-, which will degrade VOH and VOL. Capacitor values can be as low as 1.0µF. Shutdown (SD) TheSP230A, SP235A/B, SP236A/B, SP240A/ B and SP241A/B all feature a control input which will disable the part and reduce VCC current typically to less than 5µA, which is especially useful to designers of battery–powered systems. In the “power–off” mode the receiver and transmitter will both be tri-stated. V+ will discharge to VCC, and V- will discharge to ground. For complete shutdown to occur and the 10µA current drain to be realized, the following conditions must be met: • +5.00V must be applied to the SD pin; • ENABLE must 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
