MAX218CWP Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX218CWP is a dual RS-232 transceiver designed for battery-powered applications requiring efficient EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications. 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 and EIA/TIA-562 voltage levels. This transceiver features a low-power shutdown mode that reduces current consumption to 1µA, extending battery life. Both receivers can remain active during shutdown for monitoring external devices.

 

With a guaranteed data rate of 120kbps, the MAX218CWP ensures compatibility with popular software for personal computer communication. It includes two drivers and two receivers, with three-state drivers on all receiver outputs for wire-ORing multiple receivers. The device is available in a 20-pin SOIC package, suitable for surface mounting.

 

Key specifications include a 1.8V to 4.25V operating voltage, 120Kbps data rate, and a 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range. The transceiver type is RS-232, with a full duplex configuration and 2/2 drivers/receivers. It meets EIA/TIA-232E specifications and offers on-board DC-DC converters.
