Rochester Electronics Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers ADM232AARW

The ADM232AARW is a high-speed RS-232 line driver/receiver capable of transmission rates up to 200 kB/s. It operates from a single 5 V power supply and utilizes an efficient on-chip charge pump with small (0.1 ¬µF) external capacitors to generate RS-232 bipolar levels. The device features two RS-232 drivers and two RS-232 receivers, making it suitable for various applications including computers, peripherals, modems, printers, and instruments. This component is fabricated using BiCMOS technology, which combines low power CMOS with high-speed bipolar circuitry, resulting in a quiescent power supply current of under 5 mA. The ADM232AARW is pin-compatible with other popular RS-232 devices, allowing for easy integration into existing designs. It supports a wide input voltage range of ¬±30 V for receivers and provides a ¬±9 V output swing with a 5 V supply. The operating temperature range is from -40¬8C to +85¬8C, making it suitable for industrial applications. Engineers considering this product will find it beneficial for projects requiring reliable RS-232 communication with low power consumption and compact design.
