ADM3251EARWZ Présentation
An RS-232 transceiver is a line interface IC that converts CMOS/TTL logic levels (0-5 V) into EIA/TIA-232E voltage swings (±5 V to ±15 V) required by legacy serial-port peripherals such as industrial PLCs, point-of-sale terminals, and instrumentation. A fully isolated variant such as the ADM3251EARWZ adds galvanic isolation (here 2.5 kV rms) between the logic-side UART and the cable-side driver/receiver, breaking ground loops and protecting low-voltage MCUs from large common-mode transients and ESD events on the bus.
Key specifications include ±15 kV ESD protection (HBM) on the RIN and TOUT pins, integrated charge-pump that requires only four external 0.1 µF capacitors, low-power shutdown mode, and an exposed pad for thermal dissipation. The chip conforms to EIA/TIA-232E and ITU-T V.28 standards, ensuring interoperability with any standard RS-232 host or peripheral.
Architecturally, the device combines an iCoupler digital-isolation data path with an isoPower transformer-based DC-DC converter that derives the ±RS-232 supplies internally, eliminating the need for a separate isolated supply on the cable side. This single-chip isolation approach reduces PCB area versus discrete isolator-plus-transceiver designs and simplifies regulatory compliance for medical, industrial, and renewable-energy systems.
Typical applications include isolated serial ports in PLCs and motor drives, point-of-sale terminals, medical patient monitors, solar inverter diagnostics, and any RS-232 link requiring robust ground-loop immunity.
When designing with this device, allocate the four 0.1 µF charge-pump capacitors close to the V+ and V- pins, and provide a low-ESR decoupling cap on VDD. Verify creepage and clearance on the PCB to maintain the 2.5 kV rms rating.

Applications typiques
ADM3251EARWZ convient pour 7 applications: Industrial PLC Isolated Serial Port, Point-of-Sale (POS) Terminal Serial Interface, Medical Patient Monitor Isolation, Solar Inverter Diagnostics Port, Building Automation HVAC Controller, Test & Measurement Instrument GPIB/Serial Bridge, Automotive Diagnostic Tool Isolated Link.
Industrial PLC Isolated Serial Port
The ADM3251EARWZ delivers a robust isolated RS-232 port for industrial PLCs operating in 24 V cabinet systems. Its 2.5 kV rms isolation breaks ground loops between a control MCU and remote I/O racks powered from different phases, while 25 kV/µs CMTI rejects fast transients from adjacent motor drives. The integrated isoPower DC-DC eliminates a second isolated supply, reducing BOM cost on the PLC backplane. Pair with an STM32 or PIC32 UART plus a DB-9 connector for a turnkey isolated COM port.
Recommandé
Point-of-Sale (POS) Terminal Serial Interface
POS terminals frequently connect to receipt printers, barcode scanners, and cash drawers over RS-232 cables that may run across long distances in retail environments. The ADM3251EARWZ's 460 kbps data rate and ±15 kV HBM ESD on the RIN/TOUT pins protect the terminal logic from cable-borne ESD events when peripherals are repeatedly plugged and unplugged. The single 5 V supply simplifies power-tree design inside compact POS enclosures, and the wide-body SOIC footprint eases DFM for high-volume SMT lines.
Recommandé
Medical Patient Monitor Isolation
Patient monitors require reinforced 2.5 kV isolation between the patient-connected circuitry and the operator-accessible display/comms section per IEC 60601-1. The ADM3251EARWZ provides this barrier for the RS-232 link used to attach bedside monitors to central stations. Its 25 kV/µs CMTI prevents defibrillator-pulse transients from corrupting the serial stream, and the integrated isoPower DC-DC reduces PCB area versus discrete solutions, important for compact wearable monitors.
Recommandé
Solar Inverter Diagnostics Port
Solar inverters expose service technicians to RS-232 ports that connect directly to the high-voltage power stage. The ADM3251EARWZ provides the necessary 2.5 kV isolation barrier between the inverter's 400 V DC bus side and the technician's laptop, protecting both from ground-potential differences during servicing. The 460 kbps rate accommodates fast firmware-update transfers and diagnostic log retrieval, while the integrated charge pump uses only four 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors, ideal for the inverter's hot rooftop environment.
Recommandé
Building Automation HVAC Controller
HVAC systems integrate sensors and actuators across large buildings where RS-232 cables may span hundreds of feet between equipment rooms. The ADM3251EARWZ's 2.5 kV isolation protects the central controller from ground-potential differences between buildings or floors. Its ±15 kV ESD tolerance on the bus pins shields against static discharge during commissioning, and the single 5 V supply simplifies power design in 24 V building-automation racks.
Recommandé
Test & Measurement Instrument GPIB/Serial Bridge
Bench-top instruments such as oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers expose RS-232 ports for legacy SCPI commands. The ADM3251EARWZ provides a fully isolated COM port for the instrument's internal digital section, preventing ground loops when stacked instruments share a common bench reference. The 460 kbps data rate supports fast waveform downloads, while the wide-body SOIC fits standard instrument internal construction, simplifying compliance and EMI testing.
Recommandé
Automotive Diagnostic Tool Isolated Link
Automotive diagnostic tools connect to vehicle ECUs over RS-232 cables in service-bay environments where ground references differ and ESD events are frequent. The ADM3251EARWZ's ±15 kV ESD rating protects the tool's main board from cable-borne discharges when connectors are mated. The 2.5 kV isolation barrier separates the diagnostic tool's chassis from the vehicle's 12 V battery system, eliminating ground loops that can corrupt serial communication.

Principaux différenciateurs
- Single-chip isolated RS-232 with integrated isoPower DC-DC (vs MAX3251)
- ±15 kV HBM ESD on RIN/TOUT pins (vs ISOW7841)
- 25 kV/µs CMTI for noisy industrial environments (vs MAX3251)
Notes de conception
Place the four 0.1 µF charge-pump capacitors (C1+, C1-, C2+, C2-) as close to the device pins as possible using short, wide traces. Add a 0.1 µF VDD decoupling capacitor within 3 mm of the VDD pin. Maintain at least 8 mm of PCB creepage between the GND1 and GND2 copper pours to preserve the 2.5 kV rms isolation rating per the ADM3251E datasheet.
The exposed pad (EP) must be soldered to a sufficient copper pour on the top layer for thermal dissipation. Per the datasheet, the EP is internally connected to the logic-side ground (GND1); do NOT connect it to GND2 or any cable-side copper, since this would defeat the galvanic isolation. Route all cable-side traces on a separate layer with adequate clearance to logic-side traces.
Estimated: at 460 kbps with a 5 V supply, the isoPower DC-DC consumes approximately 30-40 mA during continuous transmission, so verify that the upstream 5 V regulator can source 50 mA per isolated port. Do not use the SHD (shutdown) pin in a noisy environment without proper filtering, as transient noise on SHD can trigger unintended shutdown of the entire port. Per the ADM3251E datasheet, leave SHD low (logic ground) if shutdown control is not required.
