1 RS-3/RS-485/RS-4 TRANSCEIVER WITH 1.65V-5.5V INTERFACE November 013 Rev GENERAL DESCRIPTION The SP330 is an advanced multiprotocol transceiver supporting RS-3, RS-485, and RS-4 serial standards and featuring a variable low voltage logic interface, down to 1.65V. Full operation requires only four external charge pump capacitors. The RS-485/RS-3 mode pin selects RS-485 mode when high, and RS-3 mode when low. In RS-485 mode the HALF/FULL pin configures the transceiver as either half or full duplex. The high speed drivers operate up to 0Mbps in RS- 485/4 modes, and up to 1Mbps in RS-3 mode. All drivers can be slew limited to 50kbps in any mode to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) by setting the dedicated SLEW pin low. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs feature robust electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection to ±15kV IEC Airgap, ±15kV Human Body Model (HBM) and ±8kV IEC Contact. 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. FEATURES Robust ESD Protection: ±15kV IEC Air Gap Discharge ± 8kV IEC Contact Discharge ±15kV Human Body Model (HBM) 0Mbps RS-485 and 1Mbps RS-3 Data Rates Pin-Selectable 50kbps Slew Limiting Single Supply Operation from +3V to +5.5V 1.65V to 5.5ogic Interface pin Drivers, Receivers RS-3/V.8 1 Driver, 1 Receiver RS-485/4 Full or Half Duplex Configuration 1/8th Unit Load, up to 56 receivers on bus RS-485/4 Enhanced Receiver Fail-safe for open, shorted, or terminated but idle inputs 10nA Shutdown Supply Current (typical) Small 4 TSSOP package The RS-3 receiver inputs include a 5k pull-down to ground when in RS-3 mode. The RS-485/4 receiver inputs are high impedance (>96k ), allowing up to 56 devices on a single communication bus (1/8th unit load). The SP330 operates from a single power supply, either 3.3V or 5V, with low idle current. The shutdown mode consumes less than 1µA in low power standby operation with RS-3 receivers enabled.

18 RS-3/RS-485/RS-4 TRANSCEIVER WITH 1.65V-5.5V INTERFACE REV PRODUCT SUMMARY The SP330 is an advanced multiprotocol transceiver supporting RS-3, RS-485, and RS-4 serial standards. The multiple 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. ENHANCED FAILSAFE The enhanced failsafe feature of the SP330 guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open, shorted, or terminated but idle/undriven. The enhanced failsafe interprets 0V differential as a logic high with a minimum 50mV noise margin, while maintaining compliance with the EIA/TIA-485 standard of ±00mV. No external biasing resistors are required, further easing the usage of multiple protocols over a single connector. ±15kV ESD PROTECTION ESD protection structures are incorporated on all pins to protect against electrostatic discharges encountered during handling and assembly. The bus pins (driver outputs and receiver inputs) have extra protection structures, which have been tested up to ±15kV without damage. These structures withstand high ESD in all states: normal operation, in shutdown, and when powered off. ESD protection is be tested in various ways. Exar uses the following methods to qualify the protection structures designed into SP330: ±8kV using IEC Contact Discharge ±15kV using IEC Airgap Discharge ±15kV using the Human Body Model (HBM) The IEC standard is more rigorous than HBM, resulting in lower voltage levels compared with HBM for the same level of ESD protection. Because IEC specifies a lower series resistance, the peak current is higher than HBM. The SP330 has passed both HBM and IEC testing without damage. VARIABLE LOGIC LEVEL VOLTAGE The SP330 includes a pin which reduces the logic level thresholds to interface with processors operating at reduced supply voltages. This pin should be connected to the supply voltage of the processor or UART block, or can be connected to V CC for typical logic levels. 18
