2/2 Transceiver Full RS232 16-SOIC
NRND6,510 in stock

Overview

The ADM3202ARNZ is a dual-channel RS-232 line driver and receiver designed for high-speed communication up to 460Kbps. It operates from a single 3V to 5.5V supply using four small external 0.1uF charge pump capacitors. This transceiver is robust against electrostatic discharge, featuring IEC 1000-4-2 protection up to +/-15kV on the RS-232 interface pins.

Why Choose This Part

The part offers superior ESD protection with +/-15kV air gap discharge rating, reducing the need for external TVS diodes. Its wide 3V to 5.5V supply range allows it to interface directly with both modern low-voltage MCUs and legacy 5V systems without level shifting.

Applications

Industrial Serial Links
Ideal for establishing reliable RS-232 communication between PLCs, sensors, and industrial controllers.
Diagnostic Ports
Used as a console or debugging interface for embedded systems requiring high-speed data transfer up to 460Kbps.
Battery-Powered Equipment
Suits portable devices due to low current consumption of 1.3mA and compatibility with 3V power rails.

Getting Started

To use this device, connect four 0.1uF capacitors to the internal charge pump pins (C1+/C1- and C2+/C2-) to generate the required RS-232 voltage levels. Ensure the SOIC-16 footprint includes bypass capacitors near the VCC pin to minimize switching noise.
