how to extract +12V from RS232

Started by Marcellus Pereira April 27, 2004
Dear ALL,

I'm trying to use the ADuM1301 to isolate my embedded system from the
PC.

How can I extract +12V from RS232 DB9? With two diodes? But in what
pins?

Thanx,

Marcellus

You do realize that produces 5V rather than 12V? -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! The PINK SOCKS were at ORIGINALLY from 1952!! But visi.com they went to MARS around 1953!!

And even so, given the limited current available from the port, he'd be better off using say a TC55 that doesn't gobble so much in quiescent current. Paul Burke

And further, if you are running this from a PC serial port, you are unlikely to be suppling the regulator with +12V - some PC serial ports only output +5V. Andrew

I use a zener diode to regulate the voltage in a similar circuit we use, but in fact there is rarely much more than 5V available. When used with laptops it sometimes doesn't work at all. -- Tim Mitchell

Schottky diodes are slightly better due to their lower forward voltage drop. As for regulator, I am using LM2931 - low dropout, low Iq at low Uin.

Yes, I really need 5V... I dont know why I'd wrote 5V... too much coffe... you know. =) In my 5 computers, the serial port has +- 12V... I think that, in the near future, the max voltage will be +-5V, and I will need to change the circuit. I need this voltage to power an Analog Device ADuM1301, to get galvanic isolotion from my embedded circuit... it needs less than 2mA ( up to 1Mbaud ). []s Marcellus
