5 VOLT POWERED, MULTI-CHANNEL RS-232 INTERFACES



st232


ST has introduced two new RS232 interface products: the ST232 and ST232A. They are 2-driver, 2-receiver devices, in compliance with EIA/ TIA-232 and V. 28 communication standards. Designed for those applications where ±12V is not available, they use a single +5V power supply and a dual charge pump that requires only four small external 0.1µF capacitors. The ST232, which presents a controlled output slew rate, is guaranteed to run at data rates of 120kbps while the ST232A runs at 200kbps.

ST232A Features :

  • + Supply voltage range: 4.5 to 5.5V
  • + Supply current no load (typical) : 1.5 mA
  • Transmitter output voltage swing (typical): ± 9V
  • Transition slew rate (typical): 12V/µs
  • Receiver propagation delay (typical): 0.5µs
  • Receiver input voltage range: ± 3V
  • Data rate (typical): 400k bps
  • Operating temperature range: 0°C to +70°C, -40°C to 85°C



ST232 Features :

  • Conforms to EIA/TIA-232 standards
  • 2 drivers and 2 receivers
  • Data rate 220kbit/s (typical)
  • Controlled output slew rate: 30V/µs (maximum)
  • Receiver input voltage range: ±30V
  • Operating temperature range: 0 to +70°C, -40 to +85°C
  • 16-pin DIP, SO and TSSOP packages
  • Compatible with Max232 and Max202



These interfaces address the Industrial, Computer, Telecommunication and Distribution industry segments. Typical applications include : portable computers, set-top boxes, low power modems, battery powered RS-232 systems.
