All members of the ADM230L family, except the ADM231L
and the ADM239L, include two internal charge pump voltage
converters that allow operation from a single +5 V supply.
T hese converters convert the +5 V input power to the ±10 V
required for RS-232 output levels. T he ADM231L and
ADM239L are designed to operate from +5 V and +12 V sup-
plies. An internal +12 V to –12 V charge pump voltage con-
verter generates the –12 V supply.
GENERAL D ESCRIP TIO N
T he ADM2xx family of line drivers/receivers is intended for all
EIA-232-E and V.28 communications interfaces, especially in
applications where ±12 V is not available. T he ADM223,
ADM230L, ADM235L, ADM236L and ADM241L feature a
low power shutdown mode that reduces power dissipation to
less than 5 µW, making them ideally suited for battery powered
equipment. T wo receivers remain enabled during shutdown on
the ADM223. T he ADM233L and ADM235L do not require
any external components and are particularly useful in applica-
tions where printed circuit board space is critical.
T he ADM2xxL is an enhanced upgrade for the AD2xx family
featuring lower power consumption, faster slew rate and opera-
tion with smaller (1 µF) capacitors.
