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

The PINK SOCKS were at ORIGINALLY from 1952!! But visi.com they went to MARS around 1953!!

As for regulator, I am using LM2931 - low dropout, low Iq at low Uin.

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
