The ADM232AARW is an integrated circuit component manufactured by Analog Devices, Inc. It is a RS-232 line driver/receiver that is commonly used in communication systems to convert data between the serial TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) levels and RS-232 voltage levels.
Key Features:
1. Dual-channel: The ADM232AARW has two independent driver/receiver channels, allowing it to handle the transmission and reception of data on two separate communication lines simultaneously.
2. Voltage Conversion: This IC component performs level shifting between the TTL logic levels (typically 0V to 5V) and the RS-232 voltage levels (typically -15V to +15V). This makes it compatible with a wide range of RS-232 devices.
3. Full-Duplex Operation: The ADM232AARW supports full-duplex communication, enabling simultaneous transmission and reception of data on both channels.
4. High-Speed Performance: With a data rate of up to 120 kbps, this IC provides a reliable and efficient data transfer mechanism for various applications.
5. ESD Protection: The ADM232AARW offers built-in electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, safeguarding the IC against damage caused by electrostatic charges during handling and operation.
6. Wide Supply Voltage Range: It operates with a supply voltage in the range of +4.5V to +5.5V, making it suitable for use with different power supply configurations
