GENERAL DESCRIPTION
channel RS-232/V.28 transceiver device that is operational from
a single 3.3 V or 5 V power supply. Because of high ESD protection
suited for operation in electrically harsh environments or where
RS-232 cables are frequently plugged and unplugged.
Th
e ADM3252E provides four independent isolation channels
using the integrated and isolated power of isoPower. There is
no requirement to use a separate isolated dc-to-dc converter. Chip
scale transformer iCoupler technology from Analog Devices, Inc.,
is used for both the isolation of the logic signals and the integrated
dc-to-dc converter. The result is a total isolation solution.
iso

Special care must be taken during printed circuit board (PCB)
layout to meet emissions standards. Refer to th
e AN-0971Emissions with isoPower Devices, for details on board layout
considerations.
specifications and operates at data rates of up to 460 kbps. Four
external 0.1 μF charge pump capacitors are used for the voltage
doubler/inverter, permitting operation from a single 3.3 V or 5 V
package ball grid array (CSP_BGA) and is specified over the
40°C to +85°C temperature range.
