The MAX238CNG is an RS-232 transceiver from Maxim Integrated, designed for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces. This device is particularly useful in applications where a bipolar ±12V supply is not available, enabling single supply operation from a +5V source. It features integrated charge pump circuitry to eliminate the need for an external bipolar supply.
Key electrical characteristics include a nominal supply voltage of 5V and a low power consumption in shutdown mode, drawing only 5μW. The device is available in a DIP/SO package, suitable for surface mount applications. The MAX238CNG is part of a family of line drivers/receivers intended for various communication interfaces, including interface translation, multidrop RS-232 networks, and portable diagnostics equipment.
This component is designed to save board space and power, making it a versatile choice for embedded systems and portable devices requiring RS-232 communication capabilities.
