Working Principles

The ADM3222ARU is a serial port transceiver that converts logic level signals from microcontrollers or other digital devices to RS-232 voltage levels. It utilizes an integrated charge pump to generate the required voltage levels for RS-232 communication. The device consists of two channels, each with a receiver and transmitter.

When transmitting data, the logic-level input signal is converted to RS-232 voltage levels by the transmitter. On the receiving end, the receiver detects the RS-232 voltage levels and converts them back to logic-level signals. The device also incorporates receiver hysteresis to improve noise immunity.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The ADM3222ARU is commonly used in various applications that require RS-232 communication, such as:

1. Industrial automation systems
2. Point-of-sale terminals
3. Networking equipment
4. Medical devices
5. Test and measurement instruments
6. Consumer electronics
