DESCRIPTION
The SP3223EB and SP3243EB products are RS-232 transceiver solutions intended for
portable or hand-held applications such as notebook and palmtop computers. The SP3223EB
and SP3243EB use an internal high-efficiency, charge-pump power supply that requires only
0.1µF capacitors in 3.3V operation. This charge pump and Sipex's driver architecture allow
the SP3223EB/3243EB series to deliver compliant RS-232 performance from a single power
supply ranging from +3.0V to +5.5V. The SP3223EB is a 2-driver/2-receiver device, and the
SP3243EB is a 3-driver/5-receiver device ideal for laptop/notebook computer and PDA
applications. The SP3243EB includes one complementary receiver that remains alert to
monitor an external device's Ring Indicate signal while the device is shutdown.
The AUTO ON-LINE® feature allows the device to automatically "wake-up" during a shutdown
state when an RS-232 cable is connected and a connected peripheral is turned on. Otherwise,
the device automatically shuts itself down drawing 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 periods of time may
affect reliability and cause permanent damage to the
device.
