MAX231CWE Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX231CWE is part of the MAX220–MAX249 family of line drivers and receivers, specifically designed for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces. This component is particularly useful in applications where a bipolar ±12V supply is not available, enabling single supply operation from a standard +5V source. It features integrated charge pump circuitry to eliminate the need for external components for ±12V generation.

 

The MAX231CWE is suitable for applications such as interface translation, multidrop RS-232 networks, and portable diagnostics equipment. It offers a wide operating temperature range, typically from -55°C to +125°C, making it robust for various environmental conditions. The device also includes a low-power shutdown mode, consuming as little as 5μW, which is beneficial for power-sensitive applications.

 

This transceiver is available in a DIP/SO package, suitable for through-hole mounting. Its design focuses on saving board space while providing reliable serial communication capabilities. The MAX231CWE is an efficient solution for modern electronic designs requiring robust RS-232 connectivity.
