GENERAL DESCRIPTION
An epitaxial BiCMOS construction minimizes power consump-
tion to 3 mW and also guards against latch-up. Overvoltage
protection is provided allowing the receiver inputs to withstand
continuous voltages in excess of ±30 V. In addition, all I-O pins
have ESD protection to levels greater than 15 kV.
The ADM101E is a single channel RS-232 driver and receiver in
the Analog Devices Craft Port series, designed to operate from a
single, +5 V supply. A highly efficient charge-pump voltage
inverter generates an on-chip –5 V supply, which eliminates the
need for a negative power supply for the driver and permits
RS-232 compatible output levels to be developed using charge
pump capacitors as small as 0.1 µF.
The ADM101E is available in a 10-lead µSOIC package, which
makes it ideal for serial communications in small, portable ap-
plications such as palmtop computers and mobile telephones,
where a full, RS-232 serial interface is not required, but com-
pact size and low power drain are paramount.
A shutdown input disables the charge pump and puts the device
into a low power shutdown mode, in which the current con-
sumption is typically less than 1 µA. The transmitter is disabled
during shutdown but the receiver remains functional.
