The ADM560/ADM561 are four driver/five receiver interface
devices designed to meet the EIA-232 standard while operating
with a single +3.3 V power supply. The devices feature an onboard dc-to-dc converter, eliminating the need for dual ± 5 V
power supplies. This dc-dc converter contains a voltage doubler
and voltage inverter which internally generates ± 6.6 V from the
input +3.3 V power supply.
The ADM560 and ADM561 consume only 5 mW making
them ideally suited for battery and other power-sensitive applications. A shutdown facility is also provided which reduces the
power to 0.66 µW.
The ADM560 contains active low shutdown and active high
receiver enable signals. In shutdown mode, two receivers remain
can withstand up to ±25 V levels. The transmitter inputs can be
driven from either 3 V or 5 V logic levels. This allows operation
in mixed 3 V/5 V power supply systems.
The ADM560/ADM561 is packaged in a 28-pin SO and a
28-pin SSOP package.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM560/ADM561 are RS-232 transmission line drivers/
receivers which operate from a single +3.3 V supply. This is
achieved 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. The ADM560/ADM561 is a modification, enhancement and improvement to the AD230–AD241 family and
derivatives thereof. It is essentially plug-in compatible and does
not have materially different applications.
The ADM560/ADM561 contains an internal voltage doubler
and a voltage inverter which generates ± 6.6 V from the +3.3 V
input. Four external 1 µF capacitors are required for the internal
voltage converter.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The internal circuitry consists of three main sections. These
are:
1. A charge pump voltage converter
2. 3 V Logic to EIA-232 transmitters
3. EIA-232 to 3 V Logic receivers.
Charge Pump DC-DC Voltage Converter
The Charge Pump Voltage converter consists of an oscillator
and a switching matrix. The converter generates a ± 6.6 V supply from the input +3.3 V level. This is done in two stages using
a switched capacitor technique as illustrated below. First, the
3.3 V input supply is doubled to 6.6 V using capacitor C1 as the
charge storage element. The 6.6 V level is then inverted to generate –6.6 V using C2 as the storage element.
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.
Transmitter (Driver) Section
The Drivers convert 3 V or 5 V logic input levels into EIA-232
output levels. With V
= +3.3 V and driving an EIA-232 load,
CC
the output voltage swing is typically ± 5.5 V.
INTERNAL
OSCILLATOR
Figure 2. Charge Pump Voltage Inverter
Unused inputs may be left unconnected, as an internal 400 kΩ
pull-up resistor pulls them high forcing the outputs into a low
state. The input pull-up resistors typically source 8 µA when
grounded so unused inputs should either be connected to V
CC
or left unconnected in order to minimize power consumption.
Receiver Section
The receivers are inverting level shifters which accept EIA-232
input levels and translate them into 3 V logic output levels.
The inputs have internal 5 kΩ pull-down resistors to ground
and are also protected against overvoltages of up to ± 25 V. The
guaranteed switching thresholds are 0.4 V minimum and 2.4 V
maximum. Unconnected inputs are pulled to 0 V by the internal
5 kΩ pull-down resistor. This, therefore, results in a Logic 1
output level for unconnected inputs or for inputs connected to
GND.
The receivers have schmitt trigger input with a hysteresis level
of 0.3 V. This ensures error-free reception for both noisy inputs
and for inputs with slow transition times.
ENABLE AND SHUTDOWN
Table I shows the truth table for the enable and shutdown control signals. When disabled, all receivers are placed in a high
impedance state. In shutdown, all transmitters are disabled and
all receivers on the ADM561 are disabled. On the ADM560,
receivers R4 and R5 remain enabled in shutdown.
