Preliminary Technical Data

ADM3101E

Rev. PrD | Page 9 of 10

ESD Protection on RS-232 and CMOS I/O pins

outputs are protected against electrostatic discharges (up to ±15

kV). This ensures compliance with IEC 1000-4-2 requirements.

HIGH BAUD RATE

The ADM3101E features high slew rates permitting data

transmission at rates well in excess of the EIA/RS-232

specifications. The RS-232 voltage levels are maintained at data

rates up to 460 kbps even under worst case loading conditions,

speed data links between two terminals, or indeed it is suitable

for the new generation ISDN modem standards that requires

data rates of 230 kbps. The slew rate is internally controlled to

less than 30 V/µs to minimize EMI interference.
