RS-232/RS-485/RS-422 TRANSCEIVER WITH INTERNAL TERMINATION
DECEMBER 2013
REV. 1.0.4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SP339 is an advanced multiprotocol transceiver
supporting RS-232, RS-485, and RS-422 serial
standards in a 40 pin QFN package. Integrated cable
termination and four configuration modes allow all
three protocols to be used interchangeably over a
single cable or connector with no additional switching
components. Full operation requires only four
external charge pump capacitors.
The RS-485/422 modes feature one driver and one
receiver (1TX/1RX) in both half and full duplex
configurations. The RS-232 mode (3TX/5RX)
provides full support of all eight signals commonly
used with the DB9 RS-232 connector. A dedicated
diagnostic loopback mode is also provided.
The high speed drivers operate up to 20Mbps in RS-
485/422 modes, and up to 1Mbps in RS-232 mode.
All drivers can be slew limited to 250kbps in any
mode to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs feature
robust electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection to
±15kV IEC-61000-4-2 Air Gap, ±8kV IEC-61000-4-2
Contact, and ±15kV Human Body Model (HBM).
Each receiver output has full fail-safe protection to
avoid system lockup, oscillation, or indeterminate
states by defaulting to logic-high output level when
the inputs are open, shorted, or terminated but
undriven. No external biasing resistors are required.
The RS-232 receiver inputs include a 5k: pull-down
to ground. The RS-485/422 receiver inputs are high
impedance (>96k: when termination is disabled),
allowing up to 256 devices on a single communication
bus (1/8th unit load).
The SP339 operates from a single power supply,
either 3.3V or 5V, with low idle current (2mA typical in
all modes). The shutdown mode consumes less than
10µA for low power standby operation.
