SP3243
DESCRIPTION
The SP3223 and SP3243 products are RS-232 transceiver solutions intended for portable or hand-held applications such as notebook and palmtop puters. The SP3223 and SP3243 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 SP3223/ SP3243 series to deliver pliant RS-232 performance from a single power supply ranging from +3.3V to +5.0V. The SP3223 is a 2-driver/2-receiver device, and the SP3243 is a 3-driver/5-receiver device ideal for laptop/notebook puter and PDA applications. The SP3243 includes one plementary 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...
