MAX238CWG Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX238CWG is a versatile RS-232 transceiver IC designed for interface translation applications. It supports full duplex communication with 4 drivers and 4 receivers, operating at data rates up to 120Kbps.

 

This transceiver is powered by a single supply voltage ranging from 4.5V to 5.5V, eliminating the need for a bipolar ±12V supply due to its integrated charge pump circuitry. It features receiver hysteresis of 500 mV for improved noise immunity.

 

The MAX238CWG is available in a 24-SOIC surface mount package, measuring 0.295 inches (7.50mm) in width. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

 

Key features include a low power shutdown mode and suitability for applications requiring EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications, particularly where ±12V is unavailable.
