Analog Devices Inc. ADM3251E RS-232 Line Driver/Receivers
Analog Devices Inc. ADM3251E RS-232 Line Driver/Receivers are high speed, 2.5kV fully isolated, single- channel RS-232/V.28 transceiver devices. The ADM3251E operates from a single 5V power supply and incorporates dual-channel digital isolators with isoPower™ integrated, isolated power. The device is ideally suited for operation in electrically harsh environments or where RS-232 cables are frequently being plugged and unplugged due to the high ESD protection on the RIN and TOUT pins.The ADM3251E utilizes isoPower technology that uses high-frequency switching elements to transfer power through the transformer. The ADM3251E conforms to the EIA/TIA-232E and ITU-T V. 28 specifications. The device operates at data rates up to 460kbps, with four external 0.1μF charge pump capacitors used for the voltage doubler/inverter, permitting operation from a single 5V supply. The ADM3251E is available in a 20-lead, wide-body SOIC package and is specified over the −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
