Application Notes
- Understanding Power Requirements in RS-232 Applications (Rev. B)PDF, 325 Kb, Revision: B, File published: Apr 26, 2013
This application note covers the RS-232 circuit functions, an explanation of hardware handshaking, a stepby step analysis of the hardware handshaking between a local and remote terminal, and powerrequirements/dissipation of the DS14C335. - Removing Ground Noise in Data Transmission SystemsPDF, 295 Kb, File published: Oct 5, 2007
Although it is commonly stated that isolating interfaces removes ground potential differences (GPD) and ground loops, it is also often unknown how and where these GPDs originate, what their waveforms or frequency content is, and why ground loops can represent a real nuisance.This application report explains how electrical installation systems, wired correctly (or incorrectly), in combination w - Low-Voltage, Single-Supply 232-Standard Interface Solutions (Rev. A)PDF, 101 Kb, Revision: A, File published: Sep 19, 2000
Features and key specifications for Texas Instruments (TI) new low-voltage, single-supply, 232-standard-compliant interface devices are presented, as well as test data comparing TI versus competitor same-function devices. Evolution of the 232 standard is discussed relative to TI devices that have significantly greater capability than the 232 standard requires. - AN-438 Low Power RS-232C Driver and Receiver in CMOS (Rev. B)PDF, 308 Kb, Revision: B, File published: Apr 26, 2013
This application report sets out to describe the new innovative low power CMOS RS-232C driver andreceiver IC's introduced by Texas Instruments with particular reference to the EIA RS-232C standard.Comparison will also be made with existing bipolar driver and receiver circuits. - Interface Circuits for TIA/EIA-232-F (Rev. A)PDF, 127 Kb, Revision: A, File published: Sep 19, 2002
This design note provides information concerning the designing of TIA/EIA-232-F interface circuits. The TIA/EIA-232-F standard is covered including the electrical specification, maximum cable lengths, and the DB9S connector. The section entitled Optimizing PC Interface Devices discusses the following topics: SN75C185 power considerations, interface power-consumption calculations, the SN75LP185A an
