The SP3223 products are RS-232 transceiver solutions intended for
portable applications such as notebook and hand held computers. The
SP3223 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 the SP3223 series to deliver compliant
RS-232 performance from a single power supply ranging from +3.3V to
+5.0V. The SP3223 is a 2- driver/2-receiver device ideal for
laptop/notebook computer and PDA applications.
The AUTO ON-LINE® feature allows the device to automatically "wake-up"
during a shutdown 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.
- Meets true EIA/TIA-232-F Standards from a +3.0V to +5.5V power supply
- Interoperable with EIA/TIA-232 and adheres to EIA/TIA-562 down to a +2.7V power source
- AUTO ON-LINE® circuitry automatically wakes up from a 1μA shutdown
- Minimum 250Kbps data rate under load (EB)
- 1 Mbps data rate for high speed RS-232 (EU)
- Regulated Charge Pump Yields Stable RS-232 Outputs Regardless of VccVariations
- ESD Specifications:
- ±15KV Human Body Model
- ±15KV IEC1000-4-2 Air Discharge
- ±8KV IEC1000-4-2 Contact Discharge

07/17/2023 | In 2023, MaxLinear will be converting all shipping labels for the parts noted from an EXAR format to MaxLinear’s label. During this transition customers may receive either label. This change affects only shipping and packing labels. This change will not affect the part number, part marking, manufacturing process or manufacturing sites. Only work in progress material will be converted. Existing inventory from MaxLinear’s warehouse, channel sales, distributor, and such, will not be converted. Hence, customers may experience receiving mixed shipments with both Exar and MaxLinear labels for some period until existing inventory of old labels is eventually cleared out. Situation is product to product with no predictable way to determine when all old labels will be exhausted. No change to product form, fit, function and reliability. ADDENDUM A: Fixed MBB label logo for DX204001 to MaxLinear logo. ADDENDUM B: Replaced ‘All other affected products outer box label’ with clearer pictures. Corrected Date Issued (from original PCN) issue date +90 days to August 30, 2023. | PCN & PDN Download |

For RS-232 it is 50 feet (15 meters), or the cable length equal to a capacitance of 2500 pF, at a maximum transmission rate of 19.2kbps. When we reduce the baud rate, it allows for longer cable length. For Example:
Baud Rate (bps) | Maximum RS-232 Cable Length (ft) |
19200 | 50 |
9600 | 500 |
4800 | 1000 |
2400 | 3000 |
