Designing circuitry for single supply operation is often an attractive simplification for reducing production costs. Yet many applications call for just a few additional supplies to solve simple interface problems. The example presented here describes how an advanced RS232 interface can simplify an A to D converter which processes bipolar signals.

The LT1180 RS232 transceiver includes a charge pump which produces low ripple supplies with sufficient surplus current to drive a CMOS A to D converter and precision ...
