Rochester Electronics Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers ADM3315EACP

The ADM3315EACP is a serial port transceiver designed to operate with a single power supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. It features a built-in charge pump that generates the necessary RS-232 voltage levels, allowing for full compliance with the EIA-232 standard without the need for dual power supplies. This device supports data rates up to 460 kb/s and includes a Green Idle power-saving mode, which minimizes power consumption during idle periods. The ADM3315EACP is equipped with robust electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, rated at over 15 kV, making it suitable for use in electrically harsh environments. It includes three drivers and three receivers, with a low current consumption profile, making it ideal for battery-powered applications such as PDAs and mobile devices. The device also features a shutdown mode that reduces power consumption to 66 nW while keeping one receiver active for monitoring purposes. This transceiver is available in a 32-lead Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP_WQ), which is compact and suitable for space-constrained designs. Overall, the ADM3315EACP is a reliable choice for applications requiring efficient RS-232 communication in portable devices.
