DESCRIPTION
The SP3249E device is an RS-232 transceiver solution intended for portable or hand-held
applications such as notebook and palmtop computers. The SP3249E uses an internal
high-efficiency, charge-pump power supply that requires only 0.1µF capacitors in 3.3V
operation. This charge pump and Sipex's driver architecture allow the SP3249E device to
deliver compliant RS-232 performance from a single power supply ranging from +3.0V to
+5.0V. The SP3249E is a 5-driver/3-receiver device, ideal for laptop/notebook computer and
PDA applications.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
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 and cause permanent damage to the
device.
