DESCRIPTION
The
SP3223
products are RS-232 transceiver solutions intended for portable applications
such as notebook and hand held computers. These products use an internal high-efficiency,
charge-pump power supply that requires only 0.µF capacitors in 3.3V operation. This charge
pump and
Exar's
driver architecture allow the
SP3223
series to deliver compliant RS-232
performance from a single power supply ranging from +3.3V to +5.0V. The
SP3223
is a 2-
driver/2-receiver device ideal for laptop/notebook computer and PDA applications.
The AUTO ON-LINE
®
feature allows the device to automatically "wake-up" during a shut-
down 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 µA.

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.
