DESCRIPTION
The SP3223B and SP3243B products are RS-232 transceiver solutions intended for portable or hand-held applications such as notebook and palmtop computers. The SP3223B and SP3243B 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 SP3223B/3243B series to deliver compliant RS-232 performance from a single power supply ranging from +3.0V to +5.5V. The SP3223B is a 2-driver/2-receiver device, and the SP3243B is a 3-driver/5-receiver device ideal for laptop/notebook computer and PDA applications. The SP3243B includes one complementary receiver that remains alert to monitor an external device's Ring Indicate signal while the device is shutdown.
