APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
MIC-21T/24C Miniature Interface
Converter, converts between DTEs with
the X.21 interface and DCEs with theV.24/RS-232 interface at data rates up to
200 kbps
(see Figure 1for the data flow diagram).
MIC-21T/24C performs both physical and
electrical conversion between the two
interfaces. The circuitry is designed toprovide short range interface, i.e. for
connection of co-located devices.
MIC-21T/24C has a built-in buffer to
accommodate phase differences between
the receive and transmit clocks of the
DCE.
No AC power is required. The device uses
ultra-low power derived from the DTE and
DCE data and control signals
