DESCRIPTION
The SP3222EB/3232EB series is an RS-232 transceiver solution intended for portable or
hand-held applications such as notebook or palmtop computers. The SP3222EB/3232EB
series has a high-efficiency, charge-pump power supply that requires only 0.1µF capacitors
in 3.3V operation. This charge pump allows the SP3222EB/3232EB series to deliver true RS-
232 performance from a single power supply ranging from +3.0V to +5.5V. The SP3222EB/
3232EB are 2-driver/2-receiver devices. This series is ideal for portable or hand-held
applications such as notebook or palmtop computers. The ESD tolerance of the SP3222EB/
3232EB devices are over
±15kV
for both Human Body Model and IEC1000-4-2 Air discharge
test methods. The SP3222EB device has a low-power shutdown mode where the devices'
driver outputs and charge pumps are disabled. During shutdown, the supply current falls to
less than 1µA.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
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
