GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM3232E transceiver is a high speed, 2-channel RS-232/V.28
interface device that operates from a single 3.3 V power supply.
Low power consumption makes it ideal for battery-powered
portable instruments. The ADM3232E conforms to the EIA-232E
and ITU-T V.28 specifications and operates at data rates up to
460 kbps.
Emissions are also controlled to within very strict limits. CMOS
technology is used to keep the power dissipation to an absolute
minimum, allowing maximum battery life in portable applications.
All RS-232 (TxOUT and RxIN) and TTL/CMOS (TxIN and RxOUT)
inputs and outputs are protected against electrostatic discharges
(up to ±15 kV ESD protection). This ensures compliance with
IEC 1000-4-2 requirements.
The ADM3232E is available in a 16-lead narrow and wide SOIC
packages, as well as a space-saving 16-lead TSSOP.
Four external 0.1 μF charge pump capacitors are used for the
voltage doubler/inverter, permitting operation from a single
3.3 V supply.
This device is ideally suited for operation in electrically harsh
environments or where RS-232 cables are frequently plugged/
unplugged, with the ±15 kV ESD protection of the ADM3232E
input/output pins.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADM3232E is a single-channel RS-232 line driver/receiver.
Step-up voltage converters, coupled with level-shifting transmitters
and receivers, allow RS-232 levels to be developed while operating
from a single 3.3 V supply.

Capacitor C3 and Capacitor C4 are used to reduce the output

Capacitor C3 is shown connected between V+ and VCC. It is also
acceptable to connect this capacitor between V+ and GND.
If desired, larger capacitors (up to 10 μF) can be used for
Capacitor C1 to Capacitor C4.

3.3 V Logic to RS-232 Transmitter
The drivers convert 3.3 V logic input levels into RS-232 output
levels. With VCC = 3.3 V and driving an RS-232 load, the output
voltage swing is typically ±6 V.
RS-232 to 3.3 V Logic Receiver
The receivers are inverting level shifters that accept RS-232 input
levels and translate them into 3 V logic output levels. The inputs
have internal 5 kΩ pull-down resistors to ground and are also
protected against overvoltages up to ±30 V. Unconnected inputs
are pulled to 0 V by the internal 5 kΩ pull-down resistor. This
results in a Logic 1 output level for unconnected inputs or for
inputs connected to GND.

OSCILLATOR
The charge pump voltage converter consists of a 200 kHz
oscillator and a switching matrix. The converter generates a
±6.6 V supply from the input 3.3 V level. This is accomplished
in two stages by using a switched capacitor technique as shown
in Figure 10. First, the 3.3 V input supply is doubled to 6.6 V by
using Capacitor C1 as the charge storage element. The +6.6 V
level is then inverted to generate −6.6 V, using C2 as the storage
element.

The ADM3232E features high slew rates, permitting data transmission at rates well in excess of the EIA-232E specifications.
RS-232 voltage levels are maintained at data rates up to 460 kbps,
even under worst-case loading conditions. The slew rate is
internally controlled to less than 30 V/μs to minimize EMI
interference.
