The ADM233LANZ is an IC component from Analog Devices Inc. It is a high-speed, ESD-protected, RS-232 line-driver/receiver designed to interface between TTL logic and RS-232 levels. Below are some key features and an overview of the ADM233LANZ:
1. Overview:
- The ADM233LANZ is a complete, low-power, single-chip solution for interfacing data terminal equipment (DTE) with data communication equipment (DCE) devices.
- It is specifically designed to meet the requirements of RS-232 communication standards.
- The IC operates over a wide voltage range, from +4.5V to +5.5V, and can deliver a data rate of up to 120kbit/s.
- It is capable of handling both short-circuit and thermal-overload conditions.
2. Key Features:
a) ESD Protection:
- The ADM233LANZ offers ±15kV ESD protection on its RS-232 pins. This helps to safeguard the communication circuitry from electrostatic discharges, which can potentially damage or degrade performance.
b) Two Integrated Drivers/Receivers:
- The IC consists of two complete, TTL/CMOS-to-RS-232 drivers and receivers in a single package.
- Each driver can deliver ±5V output voltage swings on the RS-232 pins, ensuring compatibility with the RS-232 standard
