DESCRIPTION
The SP508 is a monolithic device that supports eight (8) popular serial interface standards for
Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity. The SP508 is fabricated using a low power BiCMOS
process technology, and incorporates an Exar regulated charge pump allowing +5V only
operation. Exar's patented charge pump provides a regulated output of +5.8V, 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 SP508 requires no additional external components for compliant operation for all of the
eight (8) modes of operation other than four capacitors used for the internal charge pump.
All necessary termination is integrated within the SP508 and is switchable when V.35 drivers
and V.35 receivers, or when V. receivers are used. The SP508 provides the controls and
transceiver availability for operating as either a DTE or DCE.
Additional features with the SP508 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 SP508 also includes a latch enable pin
with the driver and receiver address decoder. The internal V. or V.35 receiver termination
can be switched off using a control pin (TERM_OFF) for monitoring applications. All eight
(8) drivers and receivers in the SP508 include separate enable pins for added convenience.
The SP508 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.

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.

STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS
Due to the relatively large package size, 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 25°C in order to remove moisture prior to
soldering. Exar ships the 00-pin LQFP in Dry Vapor Barrier
Bags with a humidity indicator card and desiccant pack. The
humidity indicator should be below 30%RH.
