DESCRIPTION
The SP3224E/3225E are 2-driver/2-receiver devices and the SP3226E/SP3227E are 1-
driver/1-receiver devices. All are ideal for computer peripherals, point-of-sale equipment,
consumer and embedded applications. These devices use 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 it to deliver compliant RS-232 perfor-
mance from a single power supply ranging from +3.0V to +5.5V.At voltages between 2.7V
and 3.0V the driver outputs are compliant with RS-562 and can interface to RS-232 over
short cables.
The Auto On-line® Plus feature allows the device to automatically “wake-up” during a shut-
down state upon detecting activity and to enter a low power shutdown if idle.This power
saving feature functions without system intervention or modifications to software or driv-
ers.
SElection TABLE
All devices feature 3.0V to 5.5V power supply, 4 small charge pump capacitors, and 15kV ESD
protection.
