AD230JN

Overview

The AD230JN is a five-line driver and receiver integrated circuit designed for RS-232 communication applications. It operates within a single positive supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. The device features inverted output polarity and supports a minimum output swing of 10 V. It is housed in a 20-pin plastic DIP package with an operating temperature range extending up to 70 °C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates five line drivers and receivers in a single package
• Compatible with EIA-232-C and V.28 interface standards
• Provides inverted output polarity for signal inversion
• Supports standard input characteristics for direct logic interfacing

Applications

• RS-232 serial communication interfaces
• Industrial control systems requiring multi-channel signaling
• Data acquisition equipment with serial ports
• Embedded systems utilizing legacy serial protocols

Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as the component is listed as non-compliant in available records. Confirm the specific package variant matches the required PDIP-20 form factor. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified maximum temperature limit of 70 °C to maintain reliability. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or obsolescence notices before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density solution for multiple RS-232 channels is required without external transceivers. It is suitable for designs constrained by board space where a single IC can handle both transmission and reception for five lines. Consider the thermal limitations if the application involves high ambient temperatures or poor airflow conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Analog Devices family of analog mixed-signal interface circuits. It serves as a dedicated solution for serial data transmission, bridging microprocessor logic levels with RS-232 voltage requirements. The device simplifies design by integrating multiple drivers and receivers, reducing the component count compared to discrete solutions.
