DESCRIPTION
The
SP232A/233A/310A/312A
devices are a family of line driver and receiver pairs that meet the
specifications of RS-232 and V.28 serial protocols. These devices are pin-to-pin compatible with
popular industry standards. As with the initial versions, the
SP232A/233A/310A/312A
devices
feature at least 120Kbps data rate under load, 0.1µF charge pump capacitors, and overall
ruggedness for commercial applications. This family also features
Sipex's
BiCMOS design
allowing low power operation without sacrificing performance. The series is available in plastic
DIP and SOIC packages operating over the commercial and industrial temperature ranges.

FEATURES…
The
SP232A/233A/310A/312A
devices are a
family of line driver and receiver pairs that meet
the specifications of RS-232 and V.28 serial
protocols. The ESD tolerance has been im-
proved on these devices to over
±2KV
for the
Human Body Model. These devices are pin-to-
pin compatible with popular industry standards.
The
SP232A/233A/310A/312A
devices
feature10V/µs slew rate, 120Kbps data rate un-
der load, 0.1µF charge pump capacitors, overall
ruggedness for commercial applications, and
increased drive current for longer and more
flexible cable configurations. This family also
features
Sipex's
BiCMOS design allowing low
power operation without sacrificing perfor-
mance.
The
SP232A/233A/310A/312A
devices have
internal charge pump voltage converters which
allow them to operate from a single +5V supply.
The charge pumps will operate with polarized or
non-polarized capacitors ranging from 0.1 to
µ
F
1
and will generate the
±6V
needed for the RS-
232 output levels. Both meet all EIA RS-232F
and ITU V.28 specifications.
The
SP310A
provides identical features as the
SP232A
with the addition of a single control
line which simultaneously shuts down the inter-
nal DC/DC converter and puts all transmitter
and receiver outputs into a high impedance
state. The
SP312A
is identical to the
SP310A
with separate tri-state and shutdown control
lines.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The
SP232A, SP233A, SP310A
and
SP312A
devices are made up of three basic circuit blocks –
1) a driver/transmitter, 2) a receiver and 3) a charge
pump. Each block is described below.
Driver/Transmitter
The drivers are inverting transmitters, which ac-
cept TTL or CMOS inputs and output the RS-232
signals with an inverted sense relative to the input
logic levels. Typically the RS-232output voltage
swing is
±6V.
Even under worst case loading
conditions of 3kOhms 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.

Figure 2. Typical Circuits using the SP233ACP and SP233ACT
The instantaneous slew rate of the transmitter
output is internally limited to a maximum of 30V/
µs
in order to meet the standards [EIA RS-232-F ].
The transition region slew rate of these enhanced
products is typically 10V/µs. The smooth transi-
tion of the loaded output from V
OL
to V
OH
clearly
meets the monotonicity requirements of the stan-
dard [EIA RS-232-F].
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
+5V INPUT
10
µ
F 6.3V
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 pro-
tected against voltages up to
±25V.
Should an
input be left unconnected, a 5K pulldown resis-
tor to ground will commit the output of the receiver
to a high state.
