GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM2xx family of line drivers/receivers is intended for all
EIA-232-E and V.28 communications interfaces, especially in
applications where 12 V is not available. The ADM206,
ADM211, and ADM213 feature a low power shutdown mode
that reduces power dissipation to less than 5 W, making them
ideally suited for battery-powered equipment. The ADM213 has
an active low shutdown and an active high receiver-enable

control. Two receivers of the ADM213 remain active during

shutdown. This feature is useful for ring indicator monitoring.
All members of the ADM2xx family include two internal charge
pump voltage converters that allow operation from a single 5 V
supply. These parts convert the 5 V input power to the 10 V
required for RS-232 output levels.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any

Power Supply Input. 5 V 10%.
Internally Generated Positive Supply (10 V nominal).
Internally Generated Negative Supply (10 V Nominal).
Ground Pin. Must be connected to 0 V.
External Capacitor (+ terminal) is connected to this pin.
External Capacitor ( terminal) is connected to this pin.
External Capacitor (+ terminal) is connected to this pin.
External Capacitor ( terminal) is connected to this pin.
Transmitter (Driver) Inputs. These inputs accept TTL/CMOS levels. An internal 400 k pull-up resistor to VCC is connected to
each input.
Transmitter (Driver) Outputs. These are RS-232 levels (typically 10 V).
Receiver Inputs. These inputs accept RS-232 signal levels. An internal 5 k pull-down resistor to GND is connected to each
input.
Receiver Outputs. These are TTL/CMOS levels.
Enable Input. Active low on ADM206 and ADM211. Active high on ADM213. This input is used to enable/disable the receiver
outputs. With EN = low (EN = high ADM213), the receiver outputs are enabled. With EN = high (EN = low ADM213), the
outputs are placed in a high impedance state. This is useful for connecting to microprocessor systems.
Shutdown Input. Active high on ADM206 and ADM211. Active low on ADM213. With SD = high on the ADM206 and ADM211,
the charge pump is disabled, the receiver outputs are placed in a high impedance state, and the driver outputs are turned off.
With SD = low on the ADM213, the charge pump is disabled, the driver outputs are turned off, and all receivers, except R4 and
R5, are placed in a high impedance state. In shutdown, the power consumption reduces to 5 W.
No Connect. No connections are required to this pin.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The ADM206, ADM211, and ADM213 are particularly useful in

battery-powered systems because they feature a low power shutdown mode that reduces power dissipation to less than 5 W.
To facilitate sharing a common line or for connection to a
microprocessor data bus, the ADM206, the ADM211, and the
ADM213 feature an enable (EN) function. When the receivers
are disabled, their outputs are placed in a high impedance state.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The internal circuitry in the ADM2xx consists of three main
sections: (a) a charge pump voltage converter; (b) RS-232-toTTL/CMOS receivers; and (c) TTL/CMOS-to-RS-232
transmitters.

Charge Pump DC-to-DC Voltage Converter

The charge pump voltage converter consists of an oscillator and
a switching matrix. The converter generates a 10 V supply
from the 5 V input. This is done in two stages using a switched
capacitor technique, as illustrated in Figure 20 and Figure 21.
First, the 5 V input supply is doubled to 10 V using capacitor C1
as the charge storage element. The 10 V level is then inverted to
generate 10 V using C2 as the storage element.

The ADM2xx family of RS-232 drivers/ receivers is designed to

solve interface problems by meeting the EIA-232-E
specifications while using a single digital 5 V supply. The EIA232-E standard requires transmitters that will deliver 5 V
minimum on the transmission channel and receivers that can
accept signal levels down to 3 V. The ADM2xx meet these
requirements by integrating step-up voltage converters and level
shifting transmitters and receivers onto the same chip. CMOS
technology is used to keep the power dissipation to an absolute
minimum. A comprehensive range of transmitter/ receiver
combinations is available to cover most communication needs.
The ADM2xx are modifications, enhancements, and
improvements to the AD2xx family and derivatives thereof. They
are essentially plug-in compatible and do not have materially
different applications.

Figure 21. Charge Pump Voltage Inverter

Capacitors C3 and C4 are used to reduce the output ripple.

Their values are not critical and can be reduced if higher levels
of ripple are acceptable. The charge pump capacitors C1 and C2
may also be reduced at the expense of higher output impedance
on the V+ and V supplies.
The V+ and V supplies may also be used to power external
circuitry if the current requirements are small.

Transmitters (Drivers)
The drivers convert TTL/CMOS input levels into EIA-232-E
output levels. With VCC = +5 V and driving a typical EIA-232-E
load, the output voltage swing is 9 V. Even under worst-case
conditions, the drivers are guaranteed to meet the 5 V EIA232-E minimum requirement.
The input threshold levels are both TTL- and CMOS-compatible
with the switching threshold set at VCC/4. With a nominal VCC =
5 V, the switching threshold is 1.25 V typical. Unused inputs
may be left unconnected, because an internal 400 k pull-up
resistor pulls them high, forcing the outputs into a low state.
As required by the EIA-232-E standard, the slew rate is limited
to less than 30 V/s, without the need for an external slew
limiting capacitor, and the output impedance in the power-off
state is greater than 300 .

Receivers
The receivers are inverting level shifters that accept EIA-232-E
input levels (5 V to 15 V) and translate them into 5 V TTL/
CMOS levels. The inputs have internal 5 k pull-down resistors
to ground and are also protected against overvoltages of up to
30 V. The guaranteed switching thresholds are 0.8 V minimum
and 2.4 V maximum, well within the 3 V EIA-232-E requirement. The low level threshold is deliberately positive, since it
ensures that an unconnected input will be interpreted as a
low level.
The receivers have Schmitt-trigger inputs with a hysteresis level
of 0.65 V. This ensures error-free reception for both noisy
inputs and inputs with slow transition times.

Shutdown (SD)

APPLICATION HINTS

The ADM2xx feature a control input that may be used to

disable the part and reduce the power consump-ion to less than
5 W. This is very useful in battery-operated systems. During
shutdown, the charge pump is turned off, the transmitters are
disabled, and all receivers except R4 and R5 on the ADM213 are
put into a high impedance disabled state. Receivers R4 and R5
on the ADM213 remain enabled during shutdown. This feature
allows monitoring external activity while the device is in a low
power shutdown mode. The shutdown control input is active
high on all parts except the ADM213, where it is active low. See
Table 5 and Table 6.

Driving Long Cables

Enable Input
The ADM211 and ADM213 feature an enable input used to
enable or disable the receiver outputs. The enable input is active
low on the ADM211 and active high on the ADM213. See
Table 5 and Table 6. When the receivers are disabled, their
outputs are placed in a high impedance state. This function
allows the outputs to be connected directly to a microprocessor
data bus. It can also be used to allow receivers from different
devices to share a common data line. The timing diagram for
the enable function is shown in Figure 22.

In accordance with the EIA-232-E standard, long cables are

permissible provided the total load capacitance does not exceed
2500 pF. For longer cables that do exceed this, it is possible to
trade off baud rate for cable length. Large load capacitances cause
a reduction in slew rate, and therefore the maximum transmission baud rate is decreased. The ADM2xx are designed to
minimize the slew rate reduction that occurs as load
capacitance increases.
For the receivers, it is important that a high level of noise
immunity be inbuilt so that slow rise and fall times do not cause
multiple output transitions as the signal passes slowly through
the transition region. The ADM2xx have 0.65 V of hysteresis to
guard against this. This ensures that even in noisy environments
error-free reception can be achieved.

High Baud Rate Operation

The ADM2xx feature high slew rates, permitting data
transmission at rates well in excess of the EIA-232-E
specification. The drivers maintain 5 V signal levels at data
rates up to 120 kB/s under worst-case loading conditions.
