The ADM222, ADM232A, ADM242 are a family of high-speed
RS-232 line drivers/receivers offering transmission rates up to
200 kB/s. Operating from a single 5 V power supply, a highly
efficient on-chip charge pump using small (0.1 µF) external
capacitors allows RS-232 bipolar levels to be developed. Two
RS-232 drivers and two RS-232 receivers are provided on
each device.
The devices are fabricated on BiCMOS, an advanced mixed
technology process that combines low power CMOS with highspeed
bipolar circuitry. This allows for transmission rates up to
200 kB/s, yet minimizes the quiescent power supply current to
under 5 mA.
The ADM232A is a pin-compatible, high-speed upgrade for the
AD232 and for the ADM232L. It is available in 16-lead DIP
and in both narrow and wide surface-mount (SOIC) packages.
The ADM222 contains an additional shutdown (SHDN) function
that may be used to disable the device, thereby reducing the
supply current to 0.1 µA. During shutdown, all transmit/receive
functions are disabled. The ADM222 is available in 18-lead
DIP and in a wide surface-mount (SOIC) package.
The ADM242 combines both shutdown (SHDN) and enable
(EN) functions. The shutdown function reduces the supply
current to 0.1 mA. During shutdown, the transmitters are disabled
but the receivers continue to operate normally. The
enable function allows the receiver outputs to be disabled
thereby facilitating sharing a common bus. The ADM242 is
available in 18-lead DIP and in a wide surface-mount (SOIC)
package.
