The ADM3101EACPZ-250R7 is a 1-channel RS-232 Line Driver/Receiver that operates from a single 3.3V power supply. Low power consumption makes it ideal for battery-powered portable instruments. It operates at data rates of up to 460kbps. All RS-232 (TOUT and RIN) and CMOS (TIN and ROUT) inputs and outputs are protected against electrostatic discharges (up to ±15kV ESD protection). Because of the ±15kV ESD protection of the ADM3101E input/output pins, this device is ideally suited for operation in electrically harsh environments or where RS-232 cables are frequently plugged and unplugged. Four external 0.1μF charge pump capacitors are used for the voltage doubler/inverter permitting operation from a single 3.3V supply.
