The ADM3202ARU from Analog Devices Inc. is a robust, high-speed, two-channel RS-232/V.28 interface device that operates from a single 3.0V to 5.5V power supply. This integrated circuit is designed to meet the EIA-232-E and V.28 specifications while providing ESD protection up to ±15kV, making it ideal for communication in harsh environmental conditions and sensitive applications.

With its low power consumption and efficient power management features, the ADM3202ARU is perfect for portable and battery-powered systems where power efficiency is crucial. The device features a 0.1µF charge pump capacitor which reduces the board space requirements typically associated with traditional RS-232 level translators.

The ADM3202ARU is equipped with two drivers and two receivers, offering a complete solution for RS-232 communication. The device includes a shutdown mode that reduces the supply current to less than 1µA, further enhancing its power-saving capabilities. Additionally, the receivers remain active in shutdown mode, allowing for wake-up capability on incoming RS-232 signals.

This interface IC ensures a data rate of up to 460 kbps, making it suitable for high-speed serial data communication in a variety of applications, including industrial control systems, point-of-sale equipment, and data acquisition systems. The ADM3202ARU comes in a 16-lead TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) that offers a compact footprint for space-constrained applications.

Key features of the ADM3202ARU include:

• Meets EIA-232-E and V.28 specifications
