for Wide Area Network Connectivity. The SP504 is fabricated using a low power BiCMOS
process technology, and incorporates a Sipex patented (5,306,954) charge pump allowing
+5V only operation. Seven (7) drivers and seven (7) receivers can be configured via software
for any of the above interface modes at any time. The SP504 is suited for DTE–DCE
applications. The SP504 requires only one external resistor per V.35 driver for compliant V.35

These are stress ratings only and functional operation
of the device at these ratings or any other above those
indicated in the operation sections of the specifications
below is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum
rating conditions for extended periods of time may
affect reliability.
Due to the relatively large package size of the 80-pin
quad flat-pack, storage in a low humidity environment
is preferred. Large high density plastic packages are
moisture sensitive and should be stored in Dry Vapor
Barrier Bags. Prior to usage, the parts should remain
bagged and stored below 40°C and 60%RH. If the
parts are removed from the bag, they should be used
within 48 hours or stored in an environment at or below
20%RH. If the above conditions cannot be followed,
the parts should be baked for four hours at 125°C in
order remove moisture prior to soldering. Sipex ships
the 80-pin QFP in Dry Vapor Barrier Bags with a
humidity indicator card and desiccant pack. The humidity indicator should be below 30%RH.

Note : Figures 3a and 3b shown above are used for evaluating maximum transmission rate. For 10Mbps transmission rate, an input signal of 5MHz is applied
to the driver input. In order for a valid transmission rate, the driver output must adhere to the output electrical specifications (VOH & VOL) and an
acceptable duty cycle for the protocol tested. The receiver outputs are checked for proper TTL/CMOS VOH & VOL levels and an acceptable output
duty cycle.
The SP504 is a highly integrated serial transceiver that allows software control of its interface modes. Similar to the SP503, the SP504
offers the same hardware interface modes for
RS-232 (V.28), RS-422A (V.11), RS-449, RS485, V.35, EIA-530 and includes V.36 and
EIA-530A. The interface mode selection is done
via an 8–bit switch; four (4) bits control the
drivers and four (4) bits control the receivers.
The SP504 is fabricated using low power
BiCMOS process technology, and incorporates
a Sipex patented (5,306,954) charge pump
allowing +5V only operation. Each device is
packaged in an 80–pin JEDEC Quad FlatPack
package.
The SP504 is ideally suited for wide area network connectivity based on the interface modes
offered and the driver and receiver configurations. The SP504 has seven (7) independent
drivers and seven (7) independent receivers. In
V.35 mode, the SP504 includes the necessary
components and termination resistors internal
within the device for compliant V.35 operation.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The SP504 is made up of five separate circuit
blocks — the charge pump, drivers, receivers,
decoder and switching array. Each of these
circuit blocks is described in more detail below.
Charge–Pump
The SP504's charge pump design is based on the
SP503 where Sipex's patented charge pump
design (5,306,954) uses a four–phase voltage
shifting technique to attain symmetrical ±10V
power supplies. In addition, the SP504 charge
pump incorporates a "programmable" feature
that produces an output of ±10V or ±5V for V
and VDD depending on the mode of operation.
The charge pump still requires external capacitors to store the charge. Figure 17a shows the
waveform found on the positive side of capacitor C2, and Figure 17b 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 SP504 charge pump is used for RS-232
where the output voltage swing is typically
±10V and also used for RS-423. However, RS-
423 requires the voltage swing on the driver
output be between ±4V to ±6V during an open
circuit (no load). The charge pump would need
to be regulated down from ±10V to ±5V. A
typical ±10V charge pump would require exter-
nal clamping such as 5V zener diodes on V
and VSS to ground. The ±5V output has symmetrical levels as in the ±10V output. The ±5V
is used in the following modes where RS-423
levels are used: RS-449, EIA-530, EIA-530A
and V.36.
Phase 1 (±10V)
— VSS charge storage — During this phase of
the clock cycle, the positive side of capacitors
C1 and C2 are initially charged to +5V. The C
is then switched to ground and the charge on C
is transferred to C

— VSS transfer — Phase two of the clock connects the negative terminal of C2 to the V

the generated –5V to C3. Simultaneously, the
positive side of capacitor C 1 is switched to +5V
and the negative side is connected to ground.

continuous charge from either C1 or C2. With
the C1 capacitor charged to 5V, the cycle begins
again.

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 C

voltage potential across C2 is l0V. For the 5V
output, C
potential on C2 is only +5V.
Since both V

and VSS are separately gener-
DD
VSS 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.
The clock rate for the charge pump typically
operates at 15kHz. The external capacitors must
be a minimum of 22µF 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 ±l0.5V. The tolerance should be ±5% from ±10V. The current
drain for the supplies is used for RS-232 and
RS-423 drivers. For the RS-232 driver, the current requirement will be 3.5mA per driver. The
RS-423 driver worst case current drain will be
11mA per driver. Power sequencing is required
for the SP504. The supplies must be sequenced
accordingly: +10V, +5V and –10V. An external
circuit would be needed for proper power supply sequencing. Consult factory for application
circuitry.
Drivers
The SP504 has seven (7) enhanced independent
drivers. Control for the mode selection is done
via a four–bit control word. The drivers are prearranged such that for each mode of 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. Table 1 shows the
mode of each driver in the different interface
modes that can be selected.
There are four basic types of driver circuits —
RS-232, RS-423, RS-485 and V.35.
The RS-232 drivers output single–ended signals
with a minimum of ±5V (with 3kΩ and 2500pF
loading), and can operate up to 120kbps.
The RS-232 drivers are used in RS-232 mode
for all signals, and also in V.35 mode where they
are used as the control line signals such as DTR
and RTS.
The RS-423 drivers are also single–ended signals with a minimum voltage output of ±3.6V
(with 450Ω loading) and can operate up to
120kbps. Open circuit V
ments are ±4.0V to ±6.0V. The RS-423 drivers
and VOH measure-
OL
are used in RS-449, EIA-530, EIA-530A and
V.36 modes as Category II signals from each of
their corresponding specifications.
The third type of driver produces a differential
signal that can maintain RS-485, ±1.5V differential output levels with a worst case load of
54Ω. The signal levels and drive capability of
the RS-485 drivers allow the drivers to also
support RS-422 (V.11) requirements of ±2V
differential output levels with 100Ω loads. The
RS-422 drivers are used in RS-449, EIA-530,
EIA-530A and V.36 modes as Category I signals which are used for clock and data.
The fourth type of driver is the V.35 driver.
V.35 levels require ±0.55V driver output signals with a load of 100Ω. The SP504 drivers
simplify existing V.35 implementations that use
external termination schemes. The drivers were
specifically designed to comply with the requirements of V.35 as well as the driver output
impedance values of V.35. The drivers achieve
the 50Ω to 150Ω source impedance. However,
an external 150Ω resistor to ground must be
connected to the non-inverting outputs; SD(b),
ST(b), and TT(b), in order to comply with the
135Ω to 165Ω short-circuit impedance for V.35.
The V.35 driver itself is disabled and transparent when the decoder is in all other modes. All
of the differential drivers; RS-485, RS-422, and
V.35, can operate up to 10Mbps.
The driver inputs are both TTL or CMOS compatible. Since there are no pull-up or pull-down
resistors on the driver inputs, they should be tied
to a known logic state in order to define the
driver output.
The SP504 has seven (7) independent receivers
which can be programmed for the different
interface modes. Control for the mode selection
is done via a 4–bit control word that is independent from the driver control word. The coding
for the drivers and receivers is identical. Therefore, if the modes for the drivers and receivers
are supposed to be identical in the application,
the control lines can be tied together.
Like the drivers, the receivers are pre-arranged
for the specific requirements of the interface. As
the operating mode of the receivers is changed,
the electrical characteristics will change to support the requirements of clock, data, and control
line receivers. Table 2 shows the mode of each
receiver in the different interface modes that can
be selected.
There are three basic types of receiver circuits
— RS-232, RS-423, and RS-485.
The RS-232 receiver is 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. The
input sensitivity complies with EIA-RS-232 and
V.28 at +3V to -3V. The input impedance is
3kΩ to 7kΩ. RS-232 receivers are used in RS232 mode for all data, clock and control signals.
They are also used in V.35 mode for control line
signals such as CTS and DSR.
The RS-423 receivers are also single–ended but
have an input threshold as low as ±200mV. The
input impedance is guaranteed to be greater than
4kΩ, with an operating voltage range of ±7V.
The RS-423 receivers can operate up to 120kbps.
RS-423 receivers are used in RS-449, EIA-530,
EIA-530A and V.36 modes as Category II signals as indicated by their corresponding specifications.
The third type of receiver is a differential which
supports RS-485. The RS-485 receiver has an
input impedance of 15kΩ and a differential
threshold of ±200mV. Since the characteristics
of an RS-422 (V.11) receiver are actually
subsets of RS-485, the receivers for RS-422
requirements are covered by the RS-485 receivers.
RS-422 receivers are used in RS-449,
EIA-530, EIA-530A and V.36 as Category I
signals for receiving clock, data, and some control line signals. The differential receivers can
receive data up to 10Mbps.
The RS-485 receivers are also used for the V.35
mode. Unlike the older implementations of
differential or V.35 receivers, the SP504 con-
tains an internal resistor termination network
that ensures a V.35 input impedance of 100Ω
(±10Ω) and a short-circuit impedance of 150Ω
(±15Ω). The traditional V.35 implementations
required external termination resistors to acheive
the proper V.35 impedances. The internal network is connected via low on-resistance FET
switches when the decoder is changed to V.35
mode. The termination network is transparent
when all other modes are selected. The V.35
receivers can operate up to 10Mbps.
All receivers include a fail-safe feature that
outputs a logic HIGH when the receiver inputs
are open. For single-ended RS-232 receivers,
there are internal 5kΩ pull-down resistors on the
inputs which produces a logic HIGH ("1") at the
receiver outputs. The single-ended RS-423 receivers produce a logic LOW ("0") on the output
when the inputs are open. This is due to a pullup device connected to the input. The differential receivers have the same internal pull-up
device on the non-inverting input which produces a logic HIGH ("1") at the receiver output.
The three differential receivers when configured in V.35 mode (RxD, RxC & SCT) do not
have fail-safe because the internal termination
resistor network is connected.
Decoder
The SP504 has the ability to change the interface mode of the drivers or receivers via an 8–bit
switch. The decoder for the drivers and receivers is not latched; it is merely a combinational
logic switch.
The control word can be externally latched
either HIGH or LOW to write the appropriate
code into the SP504. The codes shown in Tables1 and 2 are the only specified, valid modes for
the SP504. Undefined codes may represent other
interface modes not specified (consult the fac-
tory for more information). The drivers are
controlled with the data bits labeled TDEC3–
. All of the drivers can be put into tri-
TDEC
0
state mode by writing 0000 to the driver decode
switch. The three drivers TxD, ST and TxC,
have a 150Ω pull-down resistor to ground connected at the (b) output. This resistor is part of
the V.35 driver circuitry and should be connected when in V.35 mode. Tri-state is possible
for all drivers in RS-232 mode. The receivers
are controlled with data bits RDEC
the code 0000 written to the receivers will place
–RDEC0;
3
the outputs into tri-state mode. The 0000 decoder word will override the enable control line
for the one receiver (SCT).
Using the V.35_STAT Pin
The SP504 includes a V.35 status pin where the
V35_STAT pin (pin 18) is a logic HIGH ("1")
when the decoder is set to V.35 mode. The pin
is a logic LOW ("0") when in all other modes
including tri-state (decoder set at "0000"). Pin
18 allows the user to easily add FET switches or
solid state relays to connect the external 150Ω
resistor for V.35 operation. V35_STAT can be
connected to the gate of the FET switches or the
control of the relays so that the 150Ω resistors
are connected to the non-inverting output of the
three V.35 drivers. The output current of the
V35_STAT pin is that of a typical TTL load of
–3.2mA. The electrical specifications are similar to the SP504 receiver outputs. This feature
would reduce additional logic required by older
traditional methods.
NET1/NET2 Testing and Compliancy
Many system designers are required to certify
their system for use in the European public
network. Electrical testing is performed in adherence to the NET (Norme Européenne de
Télécommunication) which specifies the ITU
Series V specifications. The SP504 adheres to
all the required physical layer testing for NET1
and NET2. Consult factory for details.
Serial ports usually can have two data signals
(SD, RD), three clock signals (TT, ST, RT), and
at least eight control signals (CS, RS, etc.). EIARS-449 contains twenty six signal types for a
DB-37 connector. A DB-37 serial port design
may require thirteen drivers and fourteen re-

ceivers
. Although many applications do not
use all these signals, some applications may
need to support extra functions such as diagnostics. The SP504 supports enough transceivers
for the primary channels of data, clock and
control signals. Configuring LL, RL and TM
would require two additional drivers and one
receiver if designing for a DTE (one driver and
two receivers for a DCE).
A programmable transceiver such as the SP332
is a convenient solution in a design that requires
extra single ended or differential drivers/receivers. As shown in Figure 28, the SP332 can be
configured to four different variations.
The SP332 in Figure 29 is configured for two
single-ended drivers and one diffferential receiver. For a DTE design, the two drivers are
used for LL and RL signals and the receiver is
used for the TM signal. This configuration was
selected because the two RS-232 drivers can be
used for RS-423 by connecting a zener clamping diode to ground on the two driver outputs.
The diodes will limit the voltage swing on the
outputs so that the VOC = ±4V to ±6V adheres to
the RS-423 specification. The differential receiver can be easily configured to RS-423 by
grounding the non-inverting input. The receiver
will adhere to the RS-423 specifications.
Note: The SP332 will require clamping diodes on the driver outputs to limit the voltage to ±6V and comply with the RS-423
driver output specification of VOC = ±4V to
±6V and V
≥±3.6V with a 450Ω load.
