Analog Devices ADM222/ADM232A/ADM242 RS-232 Drivers/Receivers Datasheet
The ADM222, ADM232A, and ADM242 are a family of high‑speed RS‑232 line drivers and receivers that operate from a single 5 V supply and use an on‑chip charge pump with 0.1 µF external capacitors to generate bipolar RS‑232 levels. Each device contains two drivers and two receivers, and the series offers shutdown and enable functions to reduce power consumption.
Key features include a 200 kB/s data rate, ±5 V to ±9 V output swing, low‑power operation (under 5 mA quiescent current), and pin‑compatible packages (DIP and SOIC). Detailed electrical specifications, absolute maximum ratings, and mechanical dimensions are provided for design integration.
