DESCRIPTION
The SP3508 is a monolithic device that supports eight (8) popular serial interface standards
for Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity. The SP3508 is fabricated using a low power
BiCMOS process technology, and incorporates a regulated charge pump allowing +3.3V only
operation. Exar's patented charge pump provides a regulated output of +5.5V, which will
provide enough voltage for compliant operation in all modes. Eight (8) drivers and eight (8)
receivers can be configured via software for any of the above interface modes at any time.
The SP3508 requires no additional external components for compliant operation for all of the
eight (8) modes of operation other than six capacitors used for the internal charge pump. All
necessary termination is integrated within the SP3508 and is switchable when V.35 drivers
and V.35 receivers, or when V.11 receivers are used. The SP3508 provides the controls and
transceiver availability for operating as either a DTE or DCE.
Additional features with the SP3508 include internal loopback that can be initiated in any of
the operating modes by use of the LOOPBACK pin. While in loopback mode, receiver outputs
are internally connected to driver inputs creating an internal signal path bypassing the serial
communications controller for diagnostic testing. The SP3508 also includes a latch enable
pin with the driver and receiver address decoder. The internal V.11 or V.35 termination can
be switched off using a control pin (TERM_OFF) for monitoring applications. All eight (8)
drivers and receivers in the SP3508 include separate enable pins for added convenience.
The SP3508 is ideal for WAN serial ports in networking equipment such as routers, access
concentrators, network muxes, DSU/CSU's, networking test equipment, and other access
devices.

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 rating conditions for extended
periods of time may affect reliability.
STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS
Due to the relatively large package size of the 100-pin quad
flat-pack, storage in a low humidity environment is preferred.
Large high density plastic packages are moisture sensitive and
should be stored in Dry Vapor Barrier Bags. Prior to usage,
the parts should remain bagged and stored below 40°C and
60%RH. If the parts are removed from the bag, they should be
used within 48 hours or stored in an environment at or below
20%RH. If the above conditions cannot be followed, the parts
should be baked for four hours at 125°C in order to remove
moisture prior to soldering. Exar ships the 100-pin LQFP in Dry
Vapor Barrier Bags with a humidity indicator card and desiccant
pack. The humidity indicator should be below 30%RH.

FEATURES
The SP3508 contains highly integrated serial transceivers that offer programmability
between interface modes through software
control. The SP3508 offers the hardware
interface modes for RS-232 (V.28), RS449/V.36 (V.11 and V.10), EIA-530 (V.11 and
V.10), EIA-530A (V.11 and V.10), V.35 (V.35
and V.28) and X.21(V.11). The interface mode
selection is done via three control pins, which
can be latched via microprocessor control.
There are four basic types of driver circuits –
ITU-T-V.28 (RS-232), ITU-T-V.10 (RS-423),
ITU-T-V.11 (RS-422), and CCITT-V.35.
The SP3508 has eight drivers, eight receivers, and a patented on-board charge pump
(5,306,954) that is ideally suited for wide
area network connectivity and other multiprotocol applications. Other features include
digital and line loopback modes, individual
enable/disable control lines for each driver
and receiver, fail-safe when inputs are either
open or shorted.
The RS-423 (V.10) drivers are also singleended signals which produce open circuit VOL
and VOH measurements of +4.0V to +6.0V.
When terminated with a 450Ω load to ground,
the driver output will not deviate more than
10% of the open circuit value. This is in compliance of the ITU V.10 specification. The V.10
(RS-423) drivers are used in RS-449/V.36,
EIA-530, and EIA-530A modes as Category
II signals from each of their corresponding
specifications. The V.10 driver can transmit
over 120Kbps if necessary.
The V.28 (RS-232) drivers output singleended signals with a minimum of +5V (with
3kΩ & 2500pF loading), and can operate over
120kbps. Since the SP3508 uses a charge
pump to generate the RS-232 output rails, the
driver outputs will never exceed +10V. The
V.28 driver architecture is similar to Sipex's
standard line of RS-232 transceivers.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The SP3508 device is made up of
The third type of drivers are V.11 (RS-422)
differential drivers. Due to the nature of differential signaling, the drivers are more immune to noise as opposed to single-ended
transmission methods. The advantage is
evident over high speeds and long transmission lines. The strength of the driver
outputs can produce differential signals that
can maintain +2V differential output levels
with a load of 100Ω. The strength allows the
SP3508 differential driver to drive over long
cable lengths with minimal signal degradation. The V.11 drivers are used in RS-449,
EIA-530, EIA-530A and V.36 modes as
Category I signals which are used for clock
and data. Exar's new driver design over its
predecessors allow the SP3508 to operate
over 20Mbps for differential transmission.
1) the drivers
2) the receivers
3) charge pumps
4) DTE/DCE switching algorithm
5) control logic.
Drivers
The SP3508 has eight enhanced independent drivers. Control for the mode selection
is done via a three-bit control word into D0,
D1, and D2. The drivers are prearranged
such that for each mode of operation, the
relative position and functionality of the drivers are set up to accommodate the selected
interface mode. As the mode of the drivers
is changed, the electrical characteristics
will change to support the required signal
levels. The mode of each driver in the different interface modes that can be selected
is shown in Table 1.
The fourth type of drivers are V.35 differential
drivers. There are only three available on the
SP3508 for data and clock (TxD, TxCE, and
TxC in DCE mode).

FEATURES
interface modes that can be selected.
There are two basic types of receiver circuits—ITU-T-V .28 (RS-232) and ITU-T-V.11,
(RS-422).
These drivers are current sources that
drive loop current through a differential pair
resulting in a 550mV differential voltage at
the receiver. These drivers also incorporate
fixed termination networks for each driver in
order to set the VOH and VOL depending on
load conditions. This termination network is
basically a “Y” configuration consisting of
two 51Ω resistors connected in series and
a 124Ω resistor connected between the two
50Ω resistors to GND. Filtering can be done
on these pins to reduce common mode noise
transmitted over the transmission line by
connecting a capacitor to ground.
The RS-232 (V.28) receiver is single-ended
and accepts RS-232 signals from the RS232 driver. The RS-232 receiver has an
operating input voltage range of +15V and
can receive signals downs to +3V. The input
sensitivity complies with RS-232 and V.28
at +3V. The input impedance is 3kΩ to 7kΩ
in accordance to RS-232 and V.28. The receiver output produces a TTL/CMOS signal
with a +2.4V minimum for a logic “1” and a
+0.4V maximum for a logic “0”. The RS-232
(V.28) protocol uses these receivers for all
data, clock and control signals. They are also
used in V.35 mode for control line signals:
CTS, DSR, LL, and RL. The RS-232 receivers can operate over 120kbps.
The drivers also have separate enable pins
which simplifies half-duplex configurations
for some applications, especially programmable DTE/DCE. The enable pins will either
enable or disable the output of the drivers
according to the appropriate active logic
illustrated on Figure 44. The enable pins
have internal pull-up and pull-down devices,
depending on the active polarity of the receiver, that enable the driver upon power-on
if the enable lines are left floating. During
disabled conditions, the driver outputs will
be at a high impedance 3-state.
The second type of receiver is a differential
type that can be configured internally to
support ITU-T-V.10 and CCITT-V.35
depending on its input conditions. This
receiver has a typical input impedance
of 10kΩ and a differential threshold of
less than +200mV, which complies with
the ITU-T-V.11 (RS-422) specifications.
V.11 receivers are used in RS-449/V.36,
EIA-530, EIA-530A and X.21 as Category I
signals for receiving clock, data, and some
control line signals not covered by Category
II V.10 circuits. The differential V.11 transceiver has improved architecture that allows
over 20Mbps transmission rates.
The driver inputs are both TTL or CMOS
compatible. All driver inputs have an internal
pull-up resistor so that the output will be at
a defined state at logic LOW (“0”). Unused
driver inputs can be left floating. The internal pull-up resistor value is approximately
500kΩ.
Receivers
The SP3508 has eight enhanced independent receivers. Control for the mode
selection is done via a three-bit control word that is the same as the driver
control word. Therefore, the modes for
the drivers and receivers are identical in the
application. Like the drivers, the receivers
are prearranged for the specific requirements
of the synchronous serial interface. As the
operating mode of the receivers is changed,
the electrical characteristics will change
to support the required serial interface
protocols of the receivers. Table 1 shows
the mode of each receiver in the different
Receivers dedicated for data and clock (RxD,
RxC, TxC) incorporate internal termination
for V.11. The termination resistor is typically 120Ω connected between the A and
B inputs. The termination is essential for
minimizing crosstalk and signal reflection
over the transmission line . The minimum
value is guaranteed to exceed 100Ω, thus
complying with the V.11 and RS-422 specifications. This resistor is invoked when the
receiver is operating as a V.11 receiver, in
modes EIA-530, EIA-530A, RS-449/V.36,
and X.21.

FEATURES
are open, terminated but open, or shorted
together. For single-ended V.28 and V.10
receivers, there are internal 5kΩ pull-down
resistors on the inputs which produces a
logic high (“1”) at the receiver outputs. The
differential receivers have a proprietary circuit that detect open or shorted inputs and
if so, will produce a logic HIGH (“1”) at the
receiver output.
The same receivers also incorporate a termination network internally for V.35 applications. For V.35, the receiver input termination
is a “Y” termination consisting of two 51Ω
resistors connected in series and a 124Ω
resistor connected between the two 50Ω
resistors and GND. The receiver itself is
identical to the V.11 receiver.
The differential receivers can be configured
to be ITU-T-V.10 single-ended receivers by
internally connecting the non-inverting input
to ground. This is internally done by default
from the decoder. The non-inverting input is
rerouted to V10GND and can be grounded
separately. The ITU-T-V.10 receivers can
operate over 120Kbps and are used in RS449/V.36, E1A-530, E1A-530A and X.21
modes as Category II signals as indicated
by their corresponding specifications. All
receivers include an enable/disable line
for disabling the receiver output allowing
convenient half-duplex configurations. The
enable pins will either enable or disable the
output of the receivers according to the appropriate active logic illustrated on Figure
44. The receiver’s enable lines include an
internal pull-up or pull-down device, depending on the active polarity of the receiver, that
enables the receiver upon power up if the
enable lines are left floating. During disabled
conditions, the receiver outputs will be at
a high impedance state. If the receiver is
disabled any associated termination is also
disconnected from the inputs.
CHARGE PUMP
SP3508 uses an internal capacitive charge
pump to generate Vdd and Vss. The design
is a patented (5,306,954) four-phased voltage shifting charge pump converters that
converts the input voltage of 3.3V to nominal output voltages of +/-6V (Vdd & Vss1).
SP3508 also includes an inverter block
that inverts Vcc to -Vcc (Vss2). There is a
free-running oscillator that controls the four
phases of the voltage shifting. A description
of each phase follows.
4-phased doubler pump
Phase 1
-VSS1 charge storage -During this phase of
the clock cycle, the positive side of capacitors
C1 and C2 are initially charged to VCC. C1+
is then switched to ground and the charge in
C1- is transferred to C2-. Since C2+ is connected to VCC, the voltage potential across
capacitor C2 is now 2xVCC.
All receivers include a fail-safe feature that
outputs a logic high when the receiver inputs

-VSS1 transfer -Phase two of the clock connects the negative terminal of C2 to the VSS1 storage
capacitor and the positive terminal of C2 to ground, and transfers the negative generated
voltage to CVSS1. This generated voltage is regulated to -5.5V. Simultaneously, the positive
side of the capacitor C1 is switched to VCC and the negative side is connected to ground.

side of the capacitor C2. Since C2+ is at VCC, the voltage potential across C2 is 2xVCC.

Phase 4
-VDD transfer -The fourth phase of the clock connects the negative terminal of C2 to ground,
and transfers the generated 5.5V across C2 to CVDD, the VDD storage capacitor. This voltage
is regulated to +5.5V. At the regulated voltage, the internal oscillator is disabled and simultaneously with this, the positive side of capacitor C1 is switched to VCC and the negative side
is connected to ground, and the cycle begins 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
1µF with a 16V breakdown voltage rating.

Phase 1
Please refer to figure below: In the first phase of the clock cycle, switches S2 and S4 are
opened and S1 and S3 closed. This connects the flying capacitor, C3, from Vin to ground.
C3 charge up to the input voltage applied at Vcc.
Phase 2
In the second phase of the clock cycle, switches S2 and S4 are closed and S1 and S3 are
opened. This connects the flying capacitor, C3, in parallel with the output capacitor, CVSS2.
The Charge stored in C3 is now transferred to CVSS2. Simultaneously, the negative side of
CVSS2 is connected to VSS2 and the positive side is connected to ground. With the voltage
across CVSS2 smaller than the voltage across C3, the charge flows from C3 to CVSS2 until the
voltage at the VSS2 equals -VCC.

SP3508_101_012920
FEATURES
TERM_OFF FUNCTION
There are internal pull-up devices on D0,
D1 and D2, which allow the device to be in
SHUTDOWN mode ("111") upon power up.
However, if the device is powered-up with
the D_LATCH at a logic HIGH, the decoder
state of the SP3508 will be undefined.
The SP3508 contains a TERM_OFF pin that
disables all three receiver input termination
networks regardless of mode. This allows
the device to be used in monitor mode applications typically found in networking test
equipment.
CTR1/CTR2 EUROPEAN COMPLIANCY
The TERM_OFF pin internally contains a
pull-down device with an impedance of over
500kΩ, which will default in a "ON" condition
during power-up if V.35 receivers enable
line and the SHUTDOWN mode from the
decoder will disable the termination regardless of TERM_OFF.
As with all of Exar's previous multi-protocol
serial transceiver IC's the drivers and receivers have been designed to meet all the
requirements to NET1/NET2 and TBR2 in
order to meet CTR1/CTR2 compliancy. The
SP3508 is also tested in-house at Exar and
adheres to all the NET1/2 physical layer
testing and the ITU Series V specifications
before shipment. Please note that although
the SP3508, as with its predecessors, adhere to CRT1/CTR2 compliancy testing,
any complex or usual configuration should
be double-checked to ensure CTR1/CTR2
compliance. Consult the factory for details.
LOOPBACK FUNCTION
The SP3508 contains a LOOPBACK pin that
invokes a loopback path. This loopback path
is illustrated in Figure 50. LOOPBACK has
an internal pull-up resistor that defaults to
normal mode during power up or if the pin is
left floating. During loopback, the driver output and receiver input characteristics will still
adhere to its appropriate specifications.
DECODER AND D_LATCH FUNCTION
The SP3508 contains a D_LATCH pin that
latches the data into the D0, D1 and D2
decoder inputs. If tied to a logic LOW ("0"),
the latch is transparent, allowing the data at
the decoder inputs to propagate through and
program the SP3508 accordingly. If tied to a
logic HIGH ("1"), the latch locks out the data
and prevents the mode from changing until
this pin is brought to a logic LOW.
