A8A3 //154 Pt .2 1988 NOTICE EIA Engineering Standards and Publications are designed to serve the public interest through eliminating misunderstandings between manufacturers and purchasers, facilitating interchangeability and improvement of products, and assisting the purchaser in selecting and obtaining with minimum delay the proper product for his particular need. Existence of such Standards and Publications shall not in any respect preclude any member or non-member of EIA from manufacturing or selling products not conforming to such Standards and Publications, nor shall the existence of such Standards and Publications preclude their voluntary use by those other than EIA members, whether the standard is to be used either domestically or internationally. Recommended Standards and Publications are adopted by EIA without regard to whether or not their adoption may involve patents on articles, materials, or processes. By such action, EIA does not assume any liability to any patent owner, nor does it assume any obligation whatever to parties adopting the Recommended Standard or Publication. This EIA Standard is considered to have International Standardization implication, but the International Electrotechnical Commission activity has not progressed to the point where a valid comparison between the EIA Standard and the IEC document can be made. This Standard does not purport to address all safety problems associated with its use or all applicable regulatory requirements. It is the responsibility of the user of this Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations before its use.

FOREWORD P!5li ?t,Z f r GO w This foreword is not part of EIA Standard EIA-530 and is included for information purposes only. This standard has been developed to serve as a complement to EIA-232-D for data rates above 20,000 bits per second. It, together with EIA-422-A and EIA-423-A, provides a convenient means of implementing the higher data rates using the same mechanical connector as specified in EIA-232-D. It is intended that this standard gradually replace EIA-449 for the higher data rates. It provides, in the Appendix, for interoperability with equipment conforming to EIA-449. l HIGH SPEED 25-POSITION INTERFACE FOR DATA TERMINAL EQUIPMENT AND DATA CIRCUIT-TERMINATING EQUIPMENT (From Standards Proposal No. 1850, formulated under the cognizance of the EIA Subcommittee TR-30.2 on Data Transmission Interfaces.)

SCOPE 1.1 Section Abstracts This standard is applicable to the interconnection of data terminal equipment (DTE) and data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) employing serial binary data interchange with control information exchanged on separate control circuits. It defines: Section 2 - Signal Characteristics Section 3 - Interface Mechanical Characteristics Section 4 - Functional Description of Interchange Circuits Section 5 - Standard Interfaces for Selected Communication System Configurations In addition, the standard includes: Section 6 - Recommendations and Explanatory Notes Section 7 - Glossary of Terms 1.2 Application This standard applies where equipment on one side of the DTE/DCE interface is intended for connection directly to equipment on the pther side without additional technical considerations. Applications where cable termination, signal waveshaping, interconnection cable distance, and mechanical configurations of the interface must be tailored to meet specific user needs are not precluded but are beyond the scope of this standard. 1.3 Serialization This standard applies to data communication systems where the data is bit serialized by the DTE and the DCE places no restrictions on the arrangement of the sequence of bits provided by the DTE. 1.4 Signaling Rates This standard is applicable for use at data signaling rates in the range from 20,000 to a nominal upper limit of 2,000,000 bits per second. Equipment complying with this standard, however, need not operate over this entire data signaling rate range. They may be designed to operate over EIA-530 Page 2 a narrower range as appropriate for the specific application. 1.5 Synchronous/Nonsynchronous Communication This standard applies to both synchronous and nonsynchronous serial binary data communication systems. 1.6 Classes of Service This standard applies to switched, non-switched, dedicated, leased or private line service, either two-wire or four-wire. Consideration is given to both point-to-point and multipoint operation. EIA-530 Page 3 2. SIGNAL CHARACTERISTICS 2.1 Electrical Characteristics The electrical characteristics of the interchange circuits are specified in the two following standards: (1) EIA-422-A "Electrical Characteristics of Balanced-Voltage Digital Interface Circuits" (2) EIA-423-A, "Electrical Characteristics of Unbalanced Voltage Digital Interface Circuits" For the purpose of assigning electrical characteristics, the interchange circuits defined in Section 4.3 are divided into two categories as follows. 2.1.1 Category I Circuits The following nine interchange circuits are classified as ( Circuit BA (Transmitted Data) Circuit BB (Received Data) Circuit DA (Transmit Signal Element Timing, DTE Source) Circuit DB (Transmit Signal Element Timing, DCE Source) Circuit DD (Receiver Signal Element Timing, DCE Source) Circuit CA (Request to Send) Circuit CB (Clear to Send) Circuit CF (Received Line Signal Detector) Circuit CC (DCE Ready) Circuit CD (DTE Ready) The individual itegory I circuits shall use the balanced electrical characteristics of EIA-422-A. Two leads shall be brought out to the interface connector for each Category I circuit as shown in Figure 2.1(a). Thus, each interchange circuit consists of a pair of wires interconnecting a balanced generator and a differential receiver. 2.1.2 Category II Circuits The following three interchange circuits are classified as Category II circuits: To keep this standard current, the designation "A" is used to indicate the "current level" of the standard so designated. EIA-530 Page 4 Circuit LL (Local Loopback) Circuit RL (Remote Loopback) Circuit TM (Test Mode) The Category II circuits shall use the unbalanced electrical characteristics of EIA-423-A. Each Category II interchange circuit consists of one wire interconnecting an unbalanced generator and a differential receiver as shown in Figure 2.1(b). Circuit AB (Signal Ground) is the common return for Category II interchange circuits. The EIA-423-A generators shall employ waveshaping suitable for operation over an interface cable length of at least 60 meters (200 feet), the maximum cable length allowed for nontailored applications (see Section 6.5) . 2.2 Protective Ground (Frame Ground) In DTEs and in DCEs, protective ground is a point which is electrically bonded to equipment frame. It may also be connected to external grounds (e.g., through the third wire of the power cord).
