GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Five external 0.1μF charge pump capacitors are used for the
voltage doubler/inverter permitting operation from a single
supply.
The ADM3251E is a high speed, single-channel RS-232
transceiver device that operates from a single power supply.
This device is ideally suited to operation in electrically harsh
environments or where RS-232 cables are frequently being
plugged/unplugged.
The ADM3251E conforms to the EIA-232E specifications and
operates at data rates up to 460 kbps.
The device is ideally suited to operation in electrically harsh
environments. RS-232 pins, RIN and TOUT are protected against
electrostatic discharges (up to 15 kV ESD protection).
The ADM3251E incorporates dual-channel digital isolators with
isoPower integrated, isolated power. There is no requirement
for a separate isolated dc-to-dc converter as the ADM3251E has
a chip-scale dc-to-dc converter which is based on Analog
Devices, Inc. iCoupler® technology.
The ADM3251E is available in a 20 lead Wide Body SOIC
package.
Analog Devices’ chip-scale transformer iCoupler technology is
used both for the isolation of the logic signals as well as for the
dc-to-dc converter. The result is a small form factor, total
isolation solution.
