DESCRIPTION
The SP3221E is an RS-232 transceiver solution intended for portable applications such as
notebook and hand held computers. This device uses an internal high-efficiency, charge-pump
power supply that requires only 0.1µF capacitors in 3.3V operation. This charge pump and
Exar's driver architecture allow the SP3221E to deliver compliant RS-232 performance from
a single power supply ranging from +3.0V to +5.5V. The SP3221E is a 1-driver/1-receiver
device ideal for laptop/notebook computer and PDA applications. The SP3221E is offered
in 16 pin TSSOP and SSOP packages.
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 1µA.
