MAX231EPD Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX231EPD from Analog Devices (Maxim Integrated) is a full duplex RS232 transceiver IC, part of the MAX220–MAX249 family. This device is intended for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces, particularly in applications where a bipolar ±12V supply is not available, enabling single supply operation from a +5V source.

Key electrical specifications include a data rate of 120Kbps and receiver hysteresis of 500 mV. The operating voltage range is from 5V to 13.2V. The device operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Packaged in a 14-pin PDIP through-hole configuration, the MAX231EPD is suitable for applications requiring robust serial communication interfaces. Its design supports 2 drivers and 2 receivers, making it versatile for various system designs.

This transceiver is well-suited for applications such as interface translation, multidrop RS-232 networks, and portable diagnostic equipment where reliable serial communication is essential.
