ADM206ARS-REEL

Overview

The ADM206ARS-REEL is an RS-232 interface integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It functions as a full-duplex transceiver featuring four drivers and three receivers, supporting data rates up to 120 kb/s. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with a typical operating current of 7 mA. It includes a shutdown feature for power management and is designed for single-ended receiver signals. The component is housed in an SSOP-24 package suitable for surface mount technology and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four line drivers and three receivers for multi-port RS-232 communication
• Includes a dedicated shutdown pin to minimize power consumption during idle periods
• Designed for operation with standard 5 V power supplies without requiring external charge pumps

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring serial communication interfaces
• Data acquisition equipment utilizing RS-232 protocols
• Embedded systems needing reliable full-duplex data transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for SSOP-24 packages. Confirm that the absence of ESD protection meets system-level safety requirements. Validate thermal performance within the specified industrial temperature range during final assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple RS-232 channels are required within a single footprint. Compare driver and receiver counts against alternative models like the ADM202 if fewer ports suffice. Consider the lack of built-in ESD protection when designing input/output stages. Verify that the 120 kb/s speed meets application timing constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the ADM206 series of RS-232 transceivers from Analog Devices. The series focuses on providing complete signal conditioning for serial communication standards. The ARS variant specifically denotes the SSOP-24 surface-mount package option, distinguishing it from through-hole or other SMD variants in the same functional family.
