Figure 17 shows a loopback test circuit used to
test the RS-232 Drivers. Figure 18 shows the test
results where one driver was active at 1Mbps and
all three drivers loaded with an RS-232 receiver
in parallel with a 250pF capacitor. Figure 19
shows the test results of the loopback circuit with
all drivers active at 250kbps with typical
RS-232 loads in parallel with 1000pF capacitors. A
superior RS-232 data transmission rate of 1Mbps
makes the SP3223U/3243U series an ideal match
Table 2. SHUTDOWN and EN Truth Tables
Note: In AUTO ON-LINE
Mode where ONLINE =
GND and SHUTDOWN = V
, the device will shut down
if there is no activity present at the Receiver inputs.

peripheral applications.
Receivers
The receivers convert +5.0V EIA/TIA-232
levels to TTL or CMOS logic output levels. The
SP3223U receivers have an inverting output that
can be disabled by using the EN pin.
