Typical Operating Circuit SP334DS/10 Programmable RS-232/RS-485 Transceiver 7 (c) Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation capacitor C1 is switched to +5V and the negative side is connected to ground, and the cycle begins again. THEORY OF OPERATION The SP334 is made up of four separate circuit blocks -- the charge pump, drivers, receivers, and decoder. Each of these circuit blocks is described in more detail below. Since both V+ and V- are separately generated from VCC in a no-load condition, V+ and V- will be symmetrical. Older charge pump approaches that generate V- from V+ will show a decrease in the magnitude of V- compared to V+ due to the inherent inefficiencies in the design. Charge-Pump The charge pump is a Sipex-patented design (U.S. 5,306,954) and uses a unique approach compared to older less-efficient designs. The charge pump still requires four external capacitors, but uses a four-phase voltage shifting technique to attain symmetrical 10V power supplies. Figure 17(a) shows the waveform found on the positive side of capcitor C2, and figure 17(b) shows the negative side of capcitor C2. There is a free-running oscillator that controls the four phases of the voltage shifting. A description of each phase follows. The clock rate for the charge pump typically operates at 15kHz. The external capacitors must be a minimum of 0.1F with a 16V breakdown rating. External Power Supplies For applications that do not require +5V only, external supplies can be applied at the V+ and V- pins. The value of the external supply voltages must be no greater than l0V. The current drain for the 10V supplies is used for RS232. For the RS-232 driver the current requirement will be 3.5mA per driver. The external power supplies should provide a power supply sequence of :+l0V, then +5V, followed by -l0V. Phase 1 -- VSS charge storage --During this phase of the clock cycle, the positive side of capacitors C1 and C2 are initially charged to +5V. Cl+ is then switched to ground and charge on C1- is transferred to C2-. Since C2+ is connected to +5V, the voltage potential across capacitor C2 is now 10V. Drivers The SP334 has three independent RS-232 singleended drivers and two differential RS-485 drivers. Control for the mode selection is done by the RS-232/RS-485 select pin. The drivers are pre-arranged such that for each mode of Phase 2 -- VSS transfer -- Phase two of the clock connects the negative terminal of C2 to the VSS storage capacitor and the positive terminal of C2 to ground, and transfers the generated -l0V to C3. Simultaneously, the positive side of capacitor C 1 is switched to +5V and the negative side is connected to ground. VCC = +5V Phase 3 -- VDD charge storage -- The third phase of the clock is identical to the first phase -- the charge transferred in C1 produces -5V in the negative terminal of C1, which is applied to the negative side of capacitor C2. Since C2+ is at +5V, the voltage potential across C2 is l0V. C1 - C2 -5V + - - + + - VDD Storage Capacitor VSS Storage Capacitor C3 -5V Figure 13. Charge Pump Phase 1. VCC = +5V C4 Phase 4 -- VDD transfer -- The fourth phase of the clock connects the negative terminal of C2 to ground and transfers the generated l0V across C2 to C4, the VDD storage capacitor.

VCC = +5V C4 +5V C1 + - C2 -5V + - - + + - VDD Storage Capacitor When programmed to RS-485 mode, the differential RS-485 drivers produce complaint RS-485 signals. Each RS-485 driver outputs a unipolar signal on each output pin with a magnitude of at least 1.5V while loaded with a worst case of 54 between the driver's two output pins. The signal levels and drive capability of the RS-485 drivers allow the drivers to also comply with RS-422 levels. The transmission rate for the differential drivers is 10Mbps.

Figure 16. Charge Pump Phase 4. operation the relative position and functionality of the drivers are set up to accommodate the selected interface mode. As the mode of the drivers is changed, the electrical characteristics will change to support the requirements of clock, data, and control line signal levels. Unused driver inputs can be left floating; however, to ensure a desired state with no input signal, pull-up resistors to +5V or pull-down resistors to ground are suggested. Since the driver inputs are both TTL or CMOS compatible, any value resistor less than 100k will suffice. Control for the mode selection is done by the same select pin as the drivers. As the operating mode of the receivers is changed, the electrical characteristics will change to support the requirements of the appropriate serial standard. Unused receiver inputs can be left floating without causing oscillation. To ensure a desired state of the receiver output, a pull-up resistor of 100k to +5V should be connected to the inverting input for a logic low, or the non-inverting input for a logic high. For single-ended receivers, a pull-down resistor to ground of 5k is internally connected, which will ensure a logic high output. When in RS-232 mode, the single-ended RS232 drivers produce compliant RS-232E and ITU V.28 signals. Each of the three drivers output single-ended bipolar signals in excess of +10V a) C2+ GND GND b) C2-10V Figure 17. Charge Pump Waveforms SP334DS/10 Programmable RS-232/RS-485 Transceiver 9 (c) Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation outputs. The drivers can only be tri-stated in RS-485 mode. The drivers are always active in RS-232 mode. The RS-232 receiver has a single-ended input with a threshold of 0.8V to 2.4V. The RS-232 receiver has an operating voltage range of 15V and can receive signals up to 120kbps. RS-232 receivers are used in RS-232 mode for all signal types include data, clock, and control lines of the RS-232 serial port. The receiver outputs can also be tri-stated by use of the RXEN pin. A logic LOW will enable the receiver outputs and a logic HIGH will tri-state the outputs. The receiver tri-state capability is offered for both RS-232 and RS-485 modes. The input impedance if the receivers during tri-state is at least 12k. The differential RS-485 receiver has an input impedance of 15k and a differential threshold of 200mV. Since the characteristics of an RS422 receiver are actually subsets of RS485, the receivers for RS-422 requirements are identical to the RS-485 receivers. All of the differential receivers can receive data up to 10Mbps. Applications The SP334 allows the user flexibility in having a RS-232 or RS-485 serial port without using two different discrete active ICs. Figure 18 shows a connection to a standard DB-9 RS-232 connector. In RS-485 mode, the SP334 is a full duplex transceiver, however, a half duplex configuration can be made by connecting the driver outputs to the receiver inputs. Enable Pins The SP334 drivers can be enabled by use of the TXEN pin.
