Analog Devices ADM222/ADM232A/ADM242 High-Speed 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 power supply. They utilize an on-chip charge pump with small 0.1 µF external capacitors to generate the necessary bipolar voltage levels for RS-232 communication, supporting transmission rates up to 200 kB/s.
