MAX218CAP Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX218CAP from Analog Devices is a dual RS-232 transceiver optimized for battery-powered equipment requiring EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces. It operates directly from two alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH cells, offering a wide supply voltage range of +1.8V to +4.25V while maintaining true RS-232 voltage levels.

 

This transceiver supports a guaranteed 120kbps data rate, ensuring compatibility with popular software for personal computer communication. A key feature is its low-power shutdown mode, which reduces current consumption to just 1µA, extending battery life in portable systems. Notably, all receivers can remain active during shutdown, allowing the system to monitor external devices.

 

The MAX218CAP meets EIA/TIA-232E specifications and is available in a 20-pin SSOP package, suitable for surface mounting. It also includes on-board DC-DC converters and three-state receiver outputs for flexible integration with different interface standards.
