MAX238ENG Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Analog Devices MAX238ENG is a full duplex RS232 transceiver, part of the MAX220–MAX249 family. It is designed 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.

 

This transceiver features 4 drivers and 4 receivers, supporting a data rate of 120Kbps. It operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and has a receiver hysteresis of 500 mV. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C.

 

The MAX238ENG is suitable for applications such as interface translation, multidrop RS-232 networks, and portable diagnostics equipment. It includes integrated charge pump circuitry to eliminate the need for a bipolar supply and offers a low 5μW shutdown mode for power savings.

 

This component is designed for through-hole mounting and comes in a 24-PDIP package.
