Analog Switch for RS232 Level.

Hi everyone,

I need to work on an analog switch which will switch the RS232 (+/- 10VDC) signal from different RS232 serial communication.

I tried ADG333 with MAX232IDR, but it will draw too much current when RS232 is in Mark (-8.9VDC), then it will pull it to -0.89VDC.

Does everyone how to make analog switch for RS232 signals?

Thanks for help.

  • I think your best solution would be to simply use two of the MAX232 parts or equivalent.

    This assures you the ESD protection these devices will give you and makes switching a trivial exercise in digital logic. Having unprotected analog switches sitting out on an open connector is not a good idea...
