MAX238CWG+ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX238CWG+ from Analog Devices is a transceiver IC belonging to the MAX220–MAX249 family, designed for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces. This device is suitable for applications where a bipolar ±12V supply is not available, enabling single supply operation from a +5V source.

 

Key electrical specifications include a 4.5V to 5.5V operating voltage range and a data rate of 120Kbps. It supports full duplex communication with 4 drivers and 4 receivers. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C, and it features 500 mV of receiver hysteresis.

 

The MAX238CWG+ is provided in a 24-SOIC package with surface mount mounting type. This package is specified as 24-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width). The device is RoHS3 compliant, has an MSL of 1, and is REACH unaffected, though these compliance statuses are unverified.

 

This transceiver is ideal for interface translation, multidrop RS-232 networks, and portable diagnostics equipment.
