ADM232LAR Ringkasan

The Analog Devices ADM232LAR is a 5 V-powered CMOS RS-232 line driver and receiver providing two drivers and two receivers (2/2) in a 16-lead SOIC package. It supports data rates up to 120 kB/s, meets all EIA-232-E and V.28 specifications, and delivers a 9 V output swing from a single 5 V supply.

An RS-232 transceiver is an interface IC that translates logic-level CMOS signals into the bipolar, +/- voltage signalling used by the RS-232 (EIA-232) standard. It sits between a UART or microcontroller and a physical cable. The wider ADM2xx family of line drivers and receivers was designed for EIA-232-E and V.28 communications interfaces, especially where +/-12 V supplies are not available, and the ADM232 in particular adds on-board DC-DC converters so no external charge-pump components or negative supply are needed.

Key features include a single 5 V power supply, on-board DC-DC converters with 9 V output swing capability, small 1 uF external capacitors, a low-power shutdown mode, 1 uA receiver operation while in shutdown, and receiver inputs tolerant to 30 V. The CMOS implementation keeps power consumption low compared with classic bipolar RS-232 transceivers.

Technically, the part uses an on-chip switched-capacitor DC-DC converter to generate the positive and negative rail voltages required for compliant RS-232 output levels, while the receiver stage is designed for high noise immunity and failsafe operation when the driver is disabled or the line is unconnected. The result is full RS-232 compliance from a single rail, which simplifies board layout and reduces the external component count to a small number of 1 uF capacitors.

Typical applications include industrial serial port adapters, instrumentation and test equipment, barcode and data-collection terminals, security and access-control panels, and general-purpose RS-232 links between a host UART and peripheral equipment where cable lengths and ground offsets require the +/- voltage swing of the RS-232 standard.

When designing around the ADM232LAR, place the 1 uF capacitors close to the charge-pump and driver pins, keep the RS-232 connector and cable routing separated from sensitive analog and clock traces to limit EMI, and account for the shutdown pin when the host needs to tri-state or power down the port. Because the receivers remain active in shutdown, the interface can still report line state while the driver current is minimized.

Aplikasi Umum

ADM232LAR cocok untuk 6 aplikasis: Industrial Serial Port Expansion, Instrumentation and Test Equipment Control, Data Collection and Barcode Terminals, Security and Access Control Panels, Medical and Diagnostic Equipment Interfaces, Point-of-Sale and Retail Equipment.

🏭

Industrial Serial Port Expansion

The ADM232LAR adds a standards-compliant RS-232 port to a modern controller that only exposes a CMOS UART. Running from a single 5 V rail with on-board DC-DC converters removes the need for a negative supply rail, while the 120 kB/s rate comfortably covers legacy printer, console and programming port protocols. The 30 V receiver input tolerance protects the port when field cabling is connected to equipment running at the full +/-15 V RS-232 swing. With only 1 uF external capacitors, the charge-pump area stays small enough for compact control boards, and the low-power shutdown mode lets the port idle between transactions to reduce system current.

🔧

Instrumentation and Test Equipment Control

Laboratory instruments and automated test fixtures are frequently controlled from a host PC over RS-232, and the ADM232LAR is a straightforward way to bridge a 3.3 V or 5 V UART to that legacy bus. The 9 V output swing from a 5 V supply guarantees compliant levels even with several metres of cable and meaningful ground offsets, and the CMOS receiver front end rejects noise that would disturb a bare UART input. Because the receivers stay active during shutdown, a fixture controller can still poll line state for a connected-but-idle instrument. Two drivers and two receivers allow a single package to handle both a command channel and a status channel.

🖥️

Data Collection and Barcode Terminals

Barcode scanners, badge readers and point-of-sale terminals often expose an RS-232 port as their legacy connectivity option. The ADM232LAR fits these designs because the whole interface runs from the same 5 V rail that powers the scanner electronics, with no external negative supply, and its 1 uF charge-pump capacitors are small enough for a handheld enclosure. The 120 kB/s rate is far above the throughput needed for scanned barcode payloads, so latency is dominated by the host protocol rather than the transceiver. The shutdown pin supports battery-powered terminals that must cut port current between scans.

🎥

Security and Access Control Panels

Access-control readers, door controllers and intercom stations commonly expose RS-232 to a head-end panel. The ADM232LAR is well suited to these panels because the receiver input can withstand 30 V, giving margin against mis-wired or externally powered RS-232 sources in the field, and the low-power shutdown mode lets idle card readers drop port current. Two drivers and two receivers in one 16-SOIC package let a single controller chip drive both a panel-side reader bus and an upstream supervisory link, reducing board area in tightly packaged door hardware.

💊

Medical and Diagnostic Equipment Interfaces

Diagnostic and monitoring equipment often needs to interoperate with older RS-232 analysers and service tools. The ADM232LAR provides a compliant, low-noise RS-232 port from a single 5 V rail, with a CMOS receiver that is less susceptible to noise coupling from adjacent analog and motor circuitry than a bare UART input. The 30 V receiver tolerance provides a useful margin against transient coupling from hospital mains-fed equipment sharing the cable route, while the shutdown mode allows a portable analyser to conserve power between tests.

🏬

Point-of-Sale and Retail Equipment

Retail scales, customer displays and magnetic-stripe readers still rely on RS-232 in many installations. The ADM232LAR suits these designs because the single 5 V supply matches the logic rails typically found in point-of-sale hardware, and the 1 uF charge-pump capacitors avoid the bulk electrolytics that would otherwise dominate a small peripheral enclosure. The 120 kB/s rate covers scale weighing and transaction bursts with headroom, and the shutdown control allows peripherals to drop port current when idle at the counter.

What is the ADM232LAR and what does it do?
The ADM232LAR is a 5 V-powered CMOS RS-232 transceiver from Analog Devices that combines two line drivers and two line receivers (2/2) in a single 16-lead SOIC package. According to the Analog Devices ADM2xx family datasheet, it is intended for all EIA-232-E and V.28 communications interfaces, especially in applications where +/-12 V is not available, and it operates at data rates up to 120 kB/s.
What is the maximum data rate of the ADM232LAR?
The ADM232LAR supports a maximum data rate of 120 kB/s. This figure is listed among the headline features of the Analog Devices datasheet alongside the 5 V single supply, on-board DC-DC converters and 9 V output swing capability, and it matches the maximum signalling rate used by most UART peripherals in industrial and instrumentation equipment.
Does the ADM232LAR need external +/-12 V rails?
No. The ADM232LAR operates from a single 5 V supply because it includes on-board DC-DC converters that generate the internal positive and negative rails needed for RS-232 compliance. The Analog Devices datasheet states the family is intended for applications where +/-12 V is not available, and lists 9 V output swing with a 5 V supply as a key feature.
What external capacitors does the ADM232LAR require?
Only small 1 uF capacitors are required, as highlighted in the Analog Devices datasheet feature list. Using 1 uF ceramic parts instead of the 10 uF electrolytics typically associated with older bipolar RS-232 transceivers saves board area and improves high-frequency behaviour on the internal charge-pump rails.
Can the ADM232LAR be put into a low power shutdown mode?
Yes. The ADM232LAR includes a low-power shutdown mode, and the Analog Devices datasheet specifies that the receivers draw only 1 uA while remaining active in shutdown. That means a host UART can detect line activity even when the driver section is powered down, which is useful in multi-port and hot-swap designs.
What is the receiver input voltage tolerance of the ADM232LAR?
The ADM232LAR receivers tolerate input voltages of up to 30 V, as stated in the Analog Devices feature list. This provides protection against ±15 V RS-232 driver overshoot and mis-wired or hot-plugged cabling, allowing the receiver inputs to survive transients that would damage a plain CMOS UART input.
Where can I download the ADM232LAR datasheet PDF?
The manufacturer product page for the ADM2xx family is the canonical source, and the ADM232L family data sheet is directly available from Analog Devices at analog.com/en/products/adm232l.html. Mirror copies of the same 5 V-Powered CMOS RS-232 Drivers/Receivers document are hosted by third-party datasheet aggregators, but the Analog Devices copy is the authoritative revision.
Where can I find the ADM232LAR pinout?
The pin configuration and functional block diagram are shown in the pin description section of the Analog Devices ADM2xx datasheet, and the same 16-lead SOIC footprint is documented on the ADM232L product page at analog.com/en/products/adm232l.html. Note that the ADM232 family is largely MAX232 pin-compatible, so the standard 16-SOIC RS-232 pin arrangement applies.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the ADM232LAR?
The closest drop-in replacement is the ADM232AARWZ, which is the same ADM232 2/2 RS-232 transceiver in the identical 16-lead SOIC package with pin-to-pin compatibility. Cross-brand equivalents include the MAX232ECDWR and MAX232DR from Maxim Integrated, both 16-SOIC, 5 V, 120 kB/s 2/2 RS-232 transceivers occupying the same footprint.
Is the MAX232DR a drop-in replacement for the ADM232LAR?
Yes, the MAX232DR is a genuine drop-in alternative for the ADM232LAR because both are 5 V, 120 kB/s, 2-driver/2-receiver RS-232 transceivers in a 16-lead SOIC package with a matching pin arrangement. The main practical differences to check are the external capacitor value used for the charge-pump supply and any device-specific enable or shutdown pin usage.
ADM232LAR vs MAX232ECDWR - which is better for a new industrial design?
Both parts deliver the same core function of a 2/2 RS-232 transceiver at 120 kB/s from a single 5 V rail in a 16-SOIC package, so the decision usually comes down to sourcing, documentation and second-source availability rather than raw specifications. Choose the ADM232LAR when you want Analog Devices documentation and internal DC-DC converters; choose the MAX232ECDWR when distributor stock and cost favour Maxim.
When should I choose the ADM232LAR over the ADM202EARWZ?
Choose the ADM232LAR when your port needs the higher 9 V output swing from a 5 V supply with only 1 uF external capacitors and the low-power shutdown mode with 30 V receiver tolerance. The ADM202EARWZ is also a 2/2 16-SOIC RS-232 transceiver, so confirm the driver swing, capacitor value and shutdown behaviour in each datasheet before substituting.
What can replace the ADM232LAR in an existing design?
The ADM232LAR can be replaced by the ADM232AARWZ, the ADM232AARW, the ADM202EARWZ, the MAX232ECDWR or the MAX232DR, all of which are RS-232 2/2 transceivers in the same 16-lead SOIC footprint. Because the family is MAX232-style pin compatible, existing layouts generally accept these parts without board changes, provided the external capacitor and charge-pump layout match the replacement datasheet.
Where to buy the ADM232LAR online and what is the lead time?
The ADM232LAR is listed by major distributors including DigiKey, Mouser and Octopart, with the DigiKey listing showing a 2/2 full RS-232 transceiver in a 16-SOIC package. Live unit pricing, stock counts and factory lead time were not captured in the verified data for this page, so request a quotation from XAIPART for current as-of-date pricing and availability.
How much does the ADM232LAR cost?
Distributor pricing for the ADM232LAR is normally volume-tiered, with the deepest discounts at 1000-piece and reel quantities. Because current per-unit prices were not included in the verified source data for this page, no figure is quoted here; request a quote from XAIPART for a 2026-10-29 price break table at 1, 10, 100, 500 and 1000 units.
What are the key specifications of the ADM232LAR that engineers should know?
The ADM232LAR is a 5 V, 2-driver/2-receiver CMOS RS-232 transceiver in 16-lead SOIC that meets EIA-232-E and V.28 limits, runs at 120 kB/s, generates 9 V output swing with on-board DC-DC converters, needs only 1 uF external capacitors, supports a low-power shutdown with 1 uA receiver current, and tolerates 30 V receiver inputs.
Is the ADM232LAR suitable for industrial equipment with long RS-232 cables?
The ADM232LAR suits industrial RS-232 links because its receivers tolerate 30 V inputs, its drivers provide 9 V swing from a single 5 V rail, and the CMOS implementation keeps supply current low. For long cables, add external surge protection and maintain a common ground reference, since RS-232 is unbalanced and relies on ground differences staying within the receiver common-mode range.
What is the best Analog Devices equivalent for the ADM232LAR?
The best Analog Devices equivalent is the ADM232AARWZ, a 16-SOIC 2/2 RS-232 transceiver from the same ADM232 family with the same 120 kB/s rate, 5 V supply, on-board DC-DC converters and 1 uF capacitor requirement. It is a pin-to-pin drop-in for designs already laid out around the ADM232LAR footprint.

Panduan Pemilihan

Choose the ADM232LAR when your board needs a compliant RS-232 port from a single 5 V rail, values small 1 uF charge-pump capacitors, a 9 V driver swing, 30 V receiver input tolerance and a shutdown mode that keeps the receivers active at 1 uA. This makes it the default pick for compact industrial, instrumentation and handheld designs. Choose the ADM232AARWZ when you want the same die and footprint with a different temperature grade or lead finish, typically for supply-chain flexibility. Choose the ADM202EARWZ only after verifying output swing, capacitor value and shutdown behaviour, because it is an older-generation transceiver that happens to share the 2/2 16-SOIC format. Choose the MAX232ECDWR or MAX232DR when Maxim documentation, distributor stock or pricing is more favourable, and re-check the external capacitor value and any enable-pin usage in the target layout. Note that none of these options replaces the need for a separate ESD/surge protection strategy on external cables.

Diferensiator Kunci

  • Single 5 V rail with on-board DC-DC converters and 9 V output swing (vsMAX232DR)
  • Receivers stay active in low-power shutdown at 1 uA (vsADM202EARWZ)
  • 30 V receiver input tolerance for field robustness (vsMAX232ECDWR)
  • 120 kB/s rate covers legacy serial protocols without adding a separate transceiver (vsADM232AARWZ)

Catatan Desain

Place the 1 uF charge-pump capacitors as close as possible to the corresponding IC pins, keeping traces short and symmetrical to minimise loop area on the switching node. The ADM232LAR generates its internal negative rail with an on-board DC-DC converter, so a long capacitor loop adds radiated EMI and can degrade output swing at the connector. Keep the RS-232 driver traces away from sensitive analog inputs and from crystal or clock routing to prevent coupled noise from appearing on the line.

RS-232 drivers deliberately swing about 9 V from a 5 V rail to meet EIA-232-E levels, so fast edge rates on TX lines create unavoidable EMI. Use a shielded connector shell tied to chassis ground where available, keep the cable run away from clocks and switching regulators, and avoid long unshielded PCB stubs of TX nets. The 120 kB/s data rate of the ADM232LAR is well within the range where these precautions are practical, so there is no need to trade signal integrity for throughput.

Because the ADM232LAR runs from a single 5 V rail and includes on-board DC-DC converters, the supply must be sized for the converter in addition to the logic load. Place a local 0.1 uF ceramic bypass capacitor at the supply pin in addition to the specified 1 uF charge-pump capacitors, and verify the 5 V rail tolerance at the IC, since the available headroom determines how close the drivers can reach the 9 V output swing. Enabling the shutdown pin during idle periods reduces port current while keeping the receivers active for line-state detection.

Do not treat the RS-232 receive pins as ordinary logic inputs: the ADM232LAR receivers are rated to 30 V, but the rest of the system is not. Also avoid confusing the ADM232 with the ADM202 when substituting, since the ADM202EARWZ shares the 16-SOIC footprint and the 2/2 configuration but has a different internal supply architecture. Finally, do not assume the MAX232-family replacements use the same 1 uF capacitor value; always re-read the charge-pump section of the replacement datasheet before releasing the PCB.
