ADM3202ARN-REEL

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The ADM3202ARN-REEL7 is a low-power, dual-channel RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices. It operates from a single 3.3 V supply and supports data rates up to 460 kbps while meeting EIA-232E specifications. The device integrates a charge pump requiring four external 0.1 μF capacitors to generate the necessary voltage levels. It features ±8 kV contact discharge and ±15 kV air gap ESD protection on RS-232 pins. The component is housed in a 16-lead Standard Small Outline Package (R-16) and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm package type and reel configuration. Ensure that the procurement channel provides valid traceability for the Analog Devices brand. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet revision to confirm compliance with current manufacturing standards before finalizing acquisition.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring full-duplex RS-232 communication at speeds up to 460 kbps. It is suitable for applications powered by a single 3.3 V rail where minimizing power consumption is critical. Note that unlike the ADM3222 or ADM1385 variants, this specific model lacks dedicated shutdown control pins, meaning it does not support active power-down modes.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the ADM3202/ADM3222/ADM1385 family of line drivers and receivers. It serves as a direct upgrade path for legacy MAX3222/MAX3232 and LTC1385 designs. The device utilizes CMOS technology to reduce power dissipation compared to older bipolar implementations, making it appropriate for modern portable electronics.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The ADM3222 and ADM1385 are pin-compatible alternatives within the same family. These variants offer additional shutdown functionality but require different pin configurations for the enable and shutdown controls. Verify schematic compatibility if substituting these parts.
