UA9636ACDR

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The UA9636ACDR is a dual RS-232 line driver manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for serial communication applications. It operates on a single 12 V power supply with a typical operating current of 18 mA. The device features two independent drivers capable of transmitting data at rates up to 7 kb/s. It is housed in an SOIC-8 surface-mount package and supports operation within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. This component lacks integrated ESD protection and does not include receiver channels.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Dual independent RS-232 line drivers for serial data transmission
• Adjustable slew rate control via external capacitor
• Single 12 V power supply operation
• SOIC-8 surface-mount packaging

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• RS-232 serial port interface circuits
• Modem communication systems
• Industrial control equipment requiring serial data links

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CDR' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the SOIC-8 package type and reel packaging configuration. Ensure the component meets the required RoHS compliance standards for your assembly process. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate electrical characteristics and pinout definitions before integration.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-driver solution is required for RS-232 interfaces without the need for signal reception capabilities. The fixed 12 V supply requirement distinguishes it from standard 5 V variants. Verify that the absence of built-in ESD protection aligns with the system's noise immunity design, as external protection may be necessary for robust field applications.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the UA9636A series of RS-232 interface integrated circuits. It serves as a dedicated transmitter component within the broader family of Texas Instruments interface solutions. The device complements receivers like the UA9637A to form complete transceiver pairs for full-duplex communication systems.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The UA9636ACP is the pin-compatible through-hole alternative in the same series. Other dual RS-232 drivers such as the MAX3232 require voltage level translation and do not share direct compatibility.
